“ I'm hardnosed about luck. I think it sucks. Yeah if you spend seven years looking for a job as a copywriter and then one day somebody gives you a job you can say Gee I was lucky I happened to go up there today. But dammit I was going to go up there sooner or later in the next seventy years. ... If you're persistent in trying and doing and working you almost make your own fortune. ”
