Eric Bana Quotes

I used to believe in signs, omens, patterns, secret purpose, synchronicities.

I'm quite a rational person, but I'm drawn to the irrational. I love coincidences, and I like to question that in fiction: 'Is this random, or is there something working underneath?'

I like repetition, but I really, really like variations, synchronistic things that happen where you're not really thinking about them.

Things come to you without you necessarily knowing what they mean.

I remember someone telling me that when he saw the back of a woman's head, he knew that was the woman he was going marry. I laughed that away as silly talk. But I guess when a relationship has to happen, it happens seamlessly. Your partner just walks into your life.

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

Casting sometimes is fate and destiny more than skill and talent, from a director's point of view.

Things tend to come when they are meant to come. I know that sounds kind of like spiritual and cheesy, but I think things come when they're meant to come.

Sometimes you just make a contact, and it feels right, but you don't know why. But down the road, something will happen that will make it clear why that connection had to be made at the point it was made.

Often, I dream about work. For instance, the night before the Oscars, I dreamt about the Oscars and I dreamt about who I wanted to interview. Interestingly, one of the people I really wanted to interview was Keanu Reeves, and then we got him. We had never interviewed him before, so that was lucky. Or maybe it was fate - I don't know.

I've made up stuff that's turned out to be real, that's the spooky part.

I love my own coincidences and love to hear other peoples' stories.

See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?

It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I've been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part.

I can read significance into tiny, tiny things. If I'd met someone 10 years ago and not seen them again, and then I suddenly bumped into them, I'd feel that that was 'meant,' or there's a fate, you know?

I'm always looking for signs.

I don't really believe in coincidence.

Everything in my life has happened exactly that way it's supposed to, in almost a scary way.

Life, and the world, sometimes just kinda click, and things just happen. You're chasing it, but it finds you at the same time.

I hopefully try to find people and projects that my gut instinctively points me towards, and hope that there's some type of rhyme to them later.

But something, somehow, had made all these paths converge. You couldn't find it on a checklist, or work it into the equation. It just happened.

Heard once that in dire times when you need a sign, that's when they appear.

I knew it,’ she says. ‘I knew I had met you before. I knew it the first time I saw your photograph. It’s as if we had to meet again at some point in this life. I talked to my friends about it, but they thought I was crazy, that thousands of people must say the same thing about thousands of other people every day. I thought they must be right, but life… life brought you to me. You came to find me, didn’t you?

I do not believe in meaningless coincidences. I believe every coincidence is a message, a clue about a particular facet of our lives that requires our attention.

I see a lot of similarities and coincidences in life, in general.
