In the U.S., the '50s and '60s marked the documentary's golden age, especially at CBS, where pioneering television journalist Edward R. Murrow, immortalised in George Clooney's 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' produced such landmark investigations as the CBS Reports programme 'Hunger in America.'
I cannot improve on those spoken for many years by a true legend who preceded me at CBS News. He would say, simply, 'good night, and good luck.'
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
There are so many different factors - luck, being in good shape when it matters, the draw. For these reasons, it's hard to win a European Cup.
I got a call this morning, and it was from Nancy Kerrigan, wishing me luck. She wished me luck and sent me all her good wishes.
I think luck is the sense to recognize an opportunity and the ability to take advantage of it... The man who can smile at his breaks and grab his chances gets on.
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
One reason I chose gunpowder is that I had the good luck in my environment to be exposed to gunpowder. The other reason is I was always looking for a visual language that goes beyond the boundary of nations, and so I found gunpowder.

I have certain values. I know where I come from. I am a hard worker. I'm conscious of my luck.
A farmer travelling with his load Picked up a horseshoe on the road, And nailed if fast to his barn door, That luck might down upon him pour; That every blessing known in life Might crown his homestead and his wife, And never any kind of harm Descend upon his growing farm.
Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.
Luck really has nothing to do with human existence, since God is not a random God.
Here's where I luck out: I'm really computer illiterate.
I get so disenfranchised reading the news, because global borders and lines we've created are completely unnecessary. That's just another person on the other side, and it's his bad luck that he was born there and it's my good fortune that I was born here. It's all kind of illogical.
Luck is always the last refuge of laziness and incompetence.
My luck is getting worse and worse. Last night, for instance, I was mugged by a quaker.
Luck and misfortune are closely intertwined.
The press always compared my family to the Kennedys - so much bad luck.
