"I love the fact that it starts from there, and you don't know where it's gonna go. Wait long enough - love will find you. Everything's a surprise. When you think you've got it all figured out... as Emerson said, the dice of God are always loaded"
About this Quote
“Wait long enough - love will find you” carries a soothing, rom-com cadence, but the subtext is tougher than it sounds. Waiting isn’t passive; it’s endurance. It reframes love less as a prize you earn through optimization and more as an encounter you can’t schedule. That idea pushes against modern self-help culture’s obsession with control, metrics, and “figuring it out.” His “Everything’s a surprise” isn’t naïve; it’s a quiet rebuke to the fantasy that adulthood equals mastery.
Then he pivots with a name-drop that gives the sentiment teeth: “the dice of God are always loaded.” The line lands because it holds two conflicting comforts at once. Loaded dice imply the game is rigged - you’re not fully in charge. Yet they also imply pattern, meaning, maybe even mercy. Fate isn’t random; it’s biased. Elizondo’s intent seems less religious than dramaturgical: life has an unseen hand, and the twist arrives right after you’re certain you know the plot.
Contextually, coming from a working actor whose career is built on timing and unpredictability, it reads like professional wisdom smuggled into spiritual language: hit your mark, stay open, let the scene surprise you.
