Bad luck Quote by Robert Altman

“They'll never give me an Oscar. And I sincerely, honestly don't care. I always turn up when I'm nominated and it would be nice to get one, but to win one would be bad luck. It comes with too much expectation. It would be the end.” quote by Robert Altman — Download Open image
