When you’re hot, you’re hot; when you’re not, you’re not.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that sometimes things go really well for you, and other times they don't. When things are going great, you're "hot" and everything seems to work out. But when things aren't going your way, you're "not" and it feels like nothing is going right. It's a simple way of saying that life has ups and downs, and you have to accept both the good and the bad times.
