I had the opportunity and the pleasure and the good luck to direct the two people I consider were the greatest personalities of the screen -Rudolph Valentino and Greta Garbo.

Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality.

I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.

It's a great pleasure, it's a great opportunity.

It really breaks your heart to see young people lose an opportunity like that, particularly when they've worked hard to prepare. Ultimately, I think high standards in terms of student conduct are critical. I think the students will learn a lifetime lesson that will be a benefit to them all their life out of this. If they learn from the incident, it will ultimately serve a good purpose.

Good luck is a residue of preparation.
