Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

I'm one of those people that think certain things happen at certain times for all the right reasons.

I think everything happens at exactly the time it's supposed to.

I was meant to be a composer. I was meant to meet my wife and have our three children. There were a number of factors that led to all of that happening, which, if you mapped it out, you would say, 'God, a lot had to go right for all of those things to line up.'

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

When things are meant to come together, they come together.

Now. Maybe you think it is arrogant or self centered, or ridiculous for me to believe that God bothered to wiggle a cheap bolt out of my new used car because he or she needed to keep me away for a few days until just the moment when my old friend most needed me to help her mother move into whatever comes next. Maybe nothing conscious helped to stall me so that I would be there when I could be most useful. Or maybe it did. I’ll never know for sure. And anyway, it doesn’t really matter.

My life has been a whole series of accidents, some of them happy, some not.

I don't believe in coincidence.

I feel like everything has happened naturally.

I had thought up the title, 'The Good Luck of Right Now,' several years ago. I had no idea what it meant or what the book would be about but I thought, 'Someday I'm going to write a book with that title.'

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

As you look back at your life, there are just a million different things that have happened, just in the right way, to allow you to make your dreams come true. And you know, someone has all that under control.

The older you get, the more you realise how happenstance... has helped to determine your path through life.

There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment.

So much of life is not about whether you're good or bad, or right or wrong, or can afford or not afford - it's just about timing.
