“I was always trying to perform, but never with some dream to be on the stage. The stage was wherever I was standing at the time. I was lucky that the department of education in Sydney had a program where you could try out for these ensembles - kind of like extra-curricular sports, but for little drama kids. I got into that system, and it took me right through high school.” TryingKindDreamKidsSchoolSportsDramaLuckyHigh SchoolProgram Author:Jai Courtney
“As a screenwriter you're the towel boy in the whorehouse. I mean you know you're lucky if you're invited to set. It's kind of like here is the blueprint, go and that's you know there has been some debate as to whether or not a film should be by the director or by the screenwriter or by both.” KindMeanFilmBoysLuckyDebate Author:John Buffalo Mailer
“Ten years ago when I started out I was kind of told I was insane for trying to pursue multiple fields at once because in five years everyone who just did one would have five times the resume I would if I was lucky, but I took that gamble because I just my gut told me it was the right thing to do and you know as an actor there is so much downtime you want to fill it with something else and as a writer you know sometimes you're doing a passion project, sometimes it's a paid gig, sometimes there is nothing, so you can do a journalistic piece.” TryingKindSometimesPassionLuckyInsaneRight ThingGutsMultiple Author:John Buffalo Mailer
“If you're lucky on a team, even if you're not sisters or brothers, you become such a family that you get that kind of open and honest relationship.

You're not always lucky enough to get that magical chemistry, but you can't win without it.” KindEnoughWinningTeamHonestBrotherLuckyForgivingChemistryTemperSisterhood Author:Colleen Jones
“Publishing a book is a great thing, and I'm grateful, but it's also a horrible, exposing thing. Once you've published a book, you never write quite as freely again. You're aware, from that point onward, of the kinds of things critics might say about it. You're aware of the kinds of things your publishers might like and dislike about it. You're half-aware of marketing strategies - of all the stuff around the book. Whereas with your very first piece of fiction, if you're lucky, those things barely occur to you at all.” WritingKindBookLuckyGratefulStrategyCriticsMarketingHorribleGreat ThingsDislikePublishing Author:Nick Laird
“In my experience in series TV if you have a good crew and a great cast it's going to be a great group - similar to the theater where it's a bunch of people who are really talented and go to work each day and challenge each other and if you are lucky enough to get a hit then it's five or six or seven years of this kind of work.” PeopleIfsYearsKindEnoughChallengesFiveGroupsTvsLuckySixTheaterSeriesSevenCastsBunchEach DayCrewSeven Years Author:Denis Leary
