People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

Things happen to you out of luck, and if you get to stick around it's because you're talented.

You need to be lucky in life, but it's also what you do with your luck.

You don't just need skills and talent, you also need luck.

Luck is a component that a lot of people in the arts sometimes fail to recognise: that you can have talent, perseverance, patience, but without luck you will not have a successful career.

So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.

You have to put yourself in a position to be lucky.

When you get as lucky as I got, you have to work as hard as possible to earn that luck.

I just consider being one of the luckiest people in the sense that creativity came to me and it flowed.
