Luck Quote by Anne Hathaway
“I attribute so much of my career to luck. My mother always told me that luck is preparation meets opportunity. And I've been given extraordinary opportunities to work with filmmakers long before I was talented enough to deserve to work with them. But I've learned a lot from them and I just kind of keep getting hired. So, I just feel extremely lucky.”
