When everything happens to you when you're so young you're very lucky but by the same token you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love your first success - the second one is never the same.

The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.

Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.

I feel lucky because I was a nerd which I talk about in the book but I had academic success so through that because that's what my parents put a great deal of value on I had a great childhood because I sort of fulfilled the expectations of being good at school.

I was lucky enough when it came to sports and work ethic to be taught some basics that continue to be important.

When I got out of acting school I was lucky to have gotten any job at all. A lot of people hiring African American actresses - it was right after 'Roots ' and for society not me it was great. Nice richly dark-skinned people was the fashion and I was not.

I never leaf through a copy of National Geographic without realizing how lucky we are to live in a society where it is traditional to wear clothes.

When I got my PhD it was a time when there were just no jobs for PhDs. Period. PhDs were getting the lowest paid technician jobs if they were lucky in any kind of science.

The world of science and the world of literature have much in common. Each is an international club helping to tie mankind together across barriers of nationality race and language. I have been doubly lucky being accepted as a member of both.

It is really rare to find someone you really really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

My father was an inspiration to me I made a few movies with him and I loved working with him. Everything about him - his whole approach to work as well as his love enthusiasm and respect for it and other people in the business - was inspiring. I was very lucky to have him as a role model.

If you're lucky as you get older you respect the craft and it becomes a skill.

My work is about life as you and I experience it. You're either lucky or you're not lucky either your relationship works or it doesn't.

If you're lucky like me your relationship with your brother has resolved itself on the peaceful side of the fence and has stayed there. But if you're someone who's got a family that's all fractured and finding it hard to relate that's a very sad place to be.

I'm so lucky that I have a great relationship.

I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter because there's a different relationship with each of them.

I was so lucky to walk away with two Super Bowls and know that the last year was positive.

I think anytime you can affect people in general in a positive way then you're a lucky individual.

I just feel like I'm a very lucky person to have a new life outside of politics.

I was really lucky that I came to puberty at a time when music and politics were completely intertwined.

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really you're lucky if you get anything.

I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.

Music is the career I'm lucky enough to get paid for but I have other desires and passions.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them very proud of them and we are in close contact as big-time friends but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.
