Rick Yancey Quotes

Many times you never know what's going to happen. You'll play songs that you never thought you were going to play.

Some projects go as you hope or imagine, and some change or reveal themselves in a different way; it depends.

Things always change and you can't ever say never, because you don't know what is around the corner.

I always say expect the unexpected!

Nothing's planned. Never say never.

Even the best plans can change if there's an accident.

The unexpected has happened so continually in my life that it has ceased to deserve the name.

I used to think that running an organization was equivalent to conducting a symphony orchestra. But I don't think that's quite it; it's more like jazz. There is more improvisation. Someone once wrote that the sound of surprise is jazz, and if there's any one thing that we must try to get used to in this world, it's surprise and the unexpected. Truly, we are living in world where the only thing that's constant is change.

One cannot plan for the unexpected.

Life is an aggregate of experience, which continually surprises us.

I'm not somebody who plans. There were times I planned a lot in my life, and it never turns out how you plan it. So I think it's important not to. I'm a very spontaneous person.

Life doesn't always give us what we are expecting.

I've been taught in my life that you can have plans, but you can't count on them.

A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.

Life is something that happens to you while you're making other plans.

You never know how things are going to turn out in a movie. You can imagine a scene one way, and it can turn out to be completely the polar opposite of what you expected. You just have to roll with the punches.

Remember that life's big changes rarely give advance warning.

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

I've been a politician long enough to know that every year will find us living in a situation that one couldn't have imagined a year previously. Sometimes it's better than we imagined, sometimes it's not as good.

It is an endless procession of surprises. The expected rarely occurs and never in the expected manner.

Who likes surprises? Nobody I know likes surprises. But facts change on the ground.

… experience should teach us that it is always the unexpected that does occur!

Every day and every scene, it's never the scene that you expect.

Every time I try to plan something or assume that something's going to happen, it never works out like that.

The reason the future feels odd is because of its unpredictability. If the future didn't feel weirdly unexpected, then something would be wrong.
