Luck Quotations | Page 3

We started feeling a little bit of pressure and we got anxious and started clearing the ball instead of working it. That goal they got was an unlucky break and that's one thing we need to learn from this.

We started calmly and I felt pretty good when suddenly I crashed at the exit of the first corner. Luckily I was okay and I could start again. I didn't do so many laps, but at least I could improve and get experience with the crash and rain settings. My best lap time (around 2.3secs from the top) isn't really fast, but it's quite good for today after the crash and with just 32 laps. Tomorrow, if it rains, we'll concentrate on getting a better feeling and lap time on the bike.

Luck is for the ill-prepared.

I've seen and swam and climbed and lived and driven and filmed. Should it all end tomorrow, I can definitely say there would be no regrets. I am very lucky, and I know it. I really have lived 5,000 times over.

It's difficult because nothing's preordained by plan and you can't control it. That's one of those joys and thrills and nerve-racking realities of being an actor. A lot has to do with luck, no matter what your talent or contribution can be.

I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!

Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.

Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.

Not everyone is capable of madness; and of those lucky enough to be capable, not many have the courage for it.

How shall I sum up my life? I think I’ve been particularly lucky.
