Rodney Carrington Quotes

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

I'm surprised as anyone about where I've ended up. Maybe it's because I say yes to things.

Some things happen by accident - embrace them.

I'm never going to rule anything out in life, because most of what I'm doing now, I never intended to do.

I always leave room for serendipity and chance.

My life is spontaneous and things just kind of happen.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.

I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school. Everything that's happened to me, nothing's been planned. I've never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.

Someone once said that life is what happens while we are making other plans. I now know what that means.

My life has never been a part of a big plan. It's more of an unfolding adventure.

One of the best things about life—a reason not to go blindly after one goal and one goal only—is that sometimes it will take you to something that is way cooler than anything you would have consciously set out to do in the first place.

I never set out to do the things I'm doing now.

Like everybody, I'm making up my life as I go along.

I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.

I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it.

I like the idea of being so passionate about everything I do and the fact that I might wake up tomorrow and say 'I want to be a chef,' and just pour myself into that.

Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better!

I drifted into acting, and I've drifted into my career, and I've never been guided by anything particularly concrete.

Nothing I ever did I expected to do. It just kind of happened.

Things kind of happen organically with me.

I buy things with the best of intention of living in them and then life intercedes.

Strong I am one of those who never knows the direction of my journey until I have almost arrived.

My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not.
