Ryan Cooley Quotes |
| |
Ryan Cooley: The entertainment business in general is really hard, the failure rate is really high. There's an element of luck that goes along with it, and I have been very lucky, and I'm very grateful for my experiences. You just have to have the drive to do it. It can be a very tough business because of the fact that failure rate is so high, and you have to be able to take that, and understand that it's nothing personal, it's just the way it is. It's always been like that, so I consider myself very lucky, and I'm very grateful.
