I do all of my good thinking at over 65 miles per hour. The speed limit is, luckily, the same speed as my brainstorming speed.
I grew up in New York City during the Depression. My earliest recollections were of my parents talking about what they would do if they didn’t have the rent money. Luckily, we were never evicted. But my father was unemployed most of the time.
People work out so hard for even 10 years and still aren’t able to achieve the body they wish for. But luckily, my body type helped me lose weight really fast, and I became fitter.
I think you should do what you like, and luckily, I am able to make money out of them.
Luckily, I have some amazing friends.
I was doing specialisation in advertising. I had no interest in acting. One of my friends, who was doing specialisation in films, made a short film casting me. Luckily, I got a break, and my acting career took off.
That’s a good sign for a movie: When it becomes part of the lexicon and pop culture for an entire generation. I’ve been in many movies, luckily, that get quoted.
The 1990s, in New York at least, were all about who could have the baggiest pants, and I definitely got swept up in that fad. Luckily, it didn’t last long – but I’ve made sure that my pants fit ever since.
Luckily, voting machines register only ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ not ‘yes, but I hate myself’.
In my late 30s, I flirted with the idea of having a child without necessarily being in a steady relationship. But I’ve never had a strong maternal urge, and then I got cancer of the womb – luckily caught at an early stage – so that put paid to that.
The world that I am coming from, hip-hop, is so regurgitated and repetitive that some people are used to that and they don’t want change, they don’t like change. And I get that, that’s cool. Luckily for me, I’m confident in myself as an artist where I can do what I want, and as long as I’m cool with it, I’m cool with it.
Luckily, I have a gym at home.
My dad actually makes the best cookies. My mum is great baker, too, but doesn’t share them – it’s tantalising! Luckily for me though, my dad shares his!
Luckily I haven’t fallen into the trap, which has claimed so many writers, of living from day to day thinking ‘Ah, I’ll write a book about that.’
Luckily, I’m not one of these players who get nervous.
What I do when I act and direct is I do a small version, go a little bigger, do a medium one, an over-the-top one, and then even bigger than that. I’ll do six readings of the line. And they’re not all the same. Just so I know if I was wrong about what I should have done, I luckily have this more subtle version.
One of my biggest drawbacks is my inability to maintain my physique. I put on weight for ‘Soodhu Kavvum’ and never managed to shed it. Luckily, that look suited a few films, including ‘Orange Mittai.’
When your first marriage goes into tragedy, you become very battle-scarred… I even thought of suicide. Luckily, I had known some happy marriages.
Luckily, I have my husband, who is Mr. Organized. Because I don’t have that part of Martha Stewart in my body.
Food-wise, I’m trying to eat a lot of fruits. I take vitamin pills. For me, that’s helpful. Luckily, if I don’t go to the gym for two weeks, I’m not feeling it yet, but everybody is warning me, ‘Just wait a few more years. You’ll feel it.’
Survival is very powerful. All your faculties want to cling to life. We’re not tested usually, luckily, but when we are, we become superheroes.
When I got married, the Sun ran the headline: ‘Here comes the bride, all fat and wide.’ Luckily, it was a few days after the wedding – but it was still hideous to read at a great romantic moment.
I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn’t know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn’t get any of those parts.
Retirement is fatal. Luckily, in my profession, you don’t have to retire.
Luckily the whole world is not like me, or else, there would be no world.
Luckily, I have the kind of personality where I am extremely private. I don’t really like to tell everyone my business. I’d much rather people wonder or not know.
There’s not a lot of pink in my home, definitely. But I like the chaos, luckily.
Luckily, ‘Rakta Charitra’ did well in the South and I started getting a lot offers from the Tamil and Telegu film industry.
Luckily, I’m not a stand-up comedian, so I don’t get the fear of standing on stage in front of a dead audience: my humorous pieces have to make it past an editor before they get exposed to the public.
Luckily, one of the perks of being an Angel is that I don’t have to go to casting. It’s so nerve-wracking – even the girls who have been in the show year after year still get nervous. The show is seen around the world, so it’s a huge honor to be selected.
Luckily, I’m not one of those people who wants to be young; it’s never bothered me.
Luckily, I found CrossFit. I do a lot more legs now – that’s for sure.
Luckily, everyone that I’ve collaborated with, everyone that has been willing to offer guidance and advice, they’ve all been dope people.
Luckily, I’m a governor – so I get to tell you what I’ve already done not just what I’m going to do.
The worst moment was when I was performing and I was about to sing, but I choked. I had a tickle in my throat and I started coughing, and I couldn’t get the words out. It lasted for like thirty seconds, but I got over it, and luckily the crowd didn’t seem to care.
Luckily, I’m in the position now of being able to play purely because I have the desire to do so.
Luckily, many other people tell me how they have had a particular landscape photograph of mine in their office or bedroom for 15 years and it always speaks to them strongly whenever they see it.
I’m very lucky that I started out as a reader of the comic book and a viewer of the show. And I try to remain that, and make ‘The Walking Dead’ that I love watching. Luckily, I have the source material that I love, and I want to serve that as well.
I like my role in ‘Akira,’ which is a remake of a south Indian film. I play the role of a pregnant cop like the original. So, since it’s the role of a pregnant cop, luckily I didn’t have to do any stunts.
This bloke in Rome once took his camera off and cracked me round the head with it, and I’m bleeding. He was a bit bigger than me, the Italian photographer, but I thought, ‘I can’t back down now,’ so I sort of squared up to him. Luckily, my mate jumped round and bit him on the neck.
I didn’t want to call and schedule shows or call and make people listen to my music. Luckily, my friends and family really stayed on me and made me put myself out there.
Being out of work is very depressing. But luckily I haven’t been there for a long time.
Luckily I’m blessed with decent genes. But, that can change anytime. I know that it’s just not healthy to eat unhealthy. I do workout, and have gotten into quite a fixed routine of Pilates and strength training. And it’s not so much about the weight, but also about being healthy.
I enjoy all aspects of singing and I’m luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.
I tour with a piano, actually. Luckily I am able to hire people that deal with it completely and magically a piano appears on stage and then magically disappears when I leave.
Luckily for me, I don’t depend on seeing every patient who comes through my door to pay the rent, and so if someone is involved in an activity that I don’t like, I just don’t accept that person as a client.
Luckily, my father and my mother liked us to talk, so they encouraged us to talk, so that the girls in my house, they’re all very powerful speakers and powerful agents of their own will, as is my brother.
During our journey, we did weight lifting, squats, and dead lifts to regenerate the bone density. Luckily, my muscle mass and bone density did not alter. Our workout was so rigorous.
It’s OK, I guess, if you really need the money, but luckily, I’m not in that position.
Then, as if that’s not enough, then they declare that my wife is Jewish or Serbian. Luckily for me, she never was either, although many wives are. And so on and so forth spreading lies.
I luckily had a very charming, lovable mom who I think everybody could see bits and pieces of their mom in.
I took piano lessons and I wanted to play drums when I was six. Luckily enough, my parents let me have a drum kit in my room – which is kind of crazy.
So I think that in the beginning of your career you’re just looking to work. Luckily for me, my first movie was ‘Rabbit Hole’ and I got to work with incredible people, a Pulitzer prize winning writer, John Cameron Mitchell, and all the actors involved. So it’s tough, man, because you want to have credibility.
I went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art because it was the only drama school the social worker had ever heard of. Luckily, I got in at the first attempt.
