It is not luck. I don’t believe in luck. It is wanting that counts. I have always wanted. That is the secret of me.Even as a child from a poor family whose mother was not married to my father I wanted and I got. I did not want — ever — for others to get for me. I pay, not just in money, but in suffering and pain and anxiety for what I have achieved.
