Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan. Bear Grylls
A lot of people think, 'I'll give acting or poetry or filmmaking a try. And if it doesn't work out I'll go get a law degree, do something else that's more practical.' For me I went the reverse way. I lived the back-up plan. Brit Marling
I'm not exactly sure what has driven me so hard... I've never questioned it. I've never had a back-up plan. I was never going to do anything else. KT Tunstall
