When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
Heaven knows that there are plenty of opportunities in later life, too, for being carried away. What of it? We remain what we are and, no doubt, it is all very good for us!
I've stayed in the best hotels in the world, but you could put me in prison, and I'd still have fun.
My manager and I were broke for about three years together. That was the worst time of our lives and the best time of our lives. You have nothing, and it also is this great blank canvas of how to be inspired and how to dream up your whole life out of nothing.
In chaos there is opportunity
I live every day to its fullest extent and I don't sweat the small stuff.
When life hands you melons, eat them.
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile.
Any fool can have bad luck; the art consists in knowing how to exploit it.
The world is full of challenges, but with those come opportunity, and I'm an opportunist.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.
Ever since I was a kid, whatever situation I was presented with, I always made the most of it.
You have to turn the lemons life gives you into lemonade, and you have to take time to sit back and enjoy it.
If you have a lemon, make lemonade.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.
All my challenges have become opportunities.
No news is good news unless you have to fill 5 minutes.
Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.
About 10 minutes before I found out that I had landed 'Fantastic Beasts', I got a residual check in the mail for zero dollars. On the check it said 'Advice Slip.' And I was like, 'Well, what's the advice? Go into another line of work?
You've just got to kind of play the hand you're dealt.
Sometimes, you just have to take what the defense gives you.
You have two choices: You can take what you're given or build with what you've got. I choose to build with what I've got and try to make the best of it because I've still been given a stage. I've still got cameras in front of my face when I want them, and I plan to run with it.
I'm like a Depression-era person as far as acting goes. It's sort of like, grab it while you can and make the most of what's in front of you. The first 'Avengers' opened up a host of things that I've been struggling to get made for a long period of time.
When our backs are on the wall, that's the time when we enjoy having fun, relax out there, do our thing, don't get the pressure on, see the results, day by day, game by game.
