“Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination.”

“You give too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.”

“Here's the thing about luck… you don't know if it's good or bad until you have some perspective.”

“Good luck is just bad luck with its hair combed.”

“A spider brings good luck before midnight and bad luck after.”

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.”

“You've got to have as many good times as bad, or it all becomes too painful and too much work.”

“Good music always defeats bad luck.”

“It is not good to want a thing too much. It sometimes drives the luck away. You must want it just enough, and you must be very tactful with Gods or the gods.”

“I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy. Our job is to imagine what someone else's life is like. And if you can't do that in real life, if you can't do that as a human being, then good luck as an actor…. I just think it's an important thing to engage in the world. And it's just too easy not to in our society.”
