I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh volatile business and unless you can be ruthless too there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim but it's always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance.

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

When I was in college I was debating to try my hand at show business or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.

If there is anything that a man can do well I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

My son had his eighth birthday recently and we had a chance to borrow the film and show it to all of his friends that was at his birthday party and they loved it. I was a little nervous. I said they might not even like it and say his daddy's movie is wack but they loved it.

Every year on your birthday you get a chance to start new.

One must not make oneself cheap here - that is a cardinal point - or else one is done. Whoever is most impertinent has the best chance.

It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge mathematical knowledge physical knowledge and so forth.

The best thing to do is stare it in the face and move on. We have to face our fears and plow through. I think taking chances takes a lot more courage than staying stagnant and doing what's safe and comfortable.

There are lots of things which I would love to tell him but in some way I also feel that I lost the person closest to me. And I got a second chance to live. So in a way I feel that I live for both of us... and I will do my best.

From now until the end of time no one else will ever see life with my eyes and I mean to make the best of my chance.

Take those chances and you can achieve greatness whereas if you go conservative you'll never know. I truly believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even if you fail learning and moving on is sometimes the best thing.

Read the best books first or you may not have a chance to read them at all.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

I think it has other roots has to do in part with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs inequality of possibility and chance inequality of goods allotted to us a kind of general racist unjust attitude that is pervasive.

There's something pleasing about large well-lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot.

What can be more foolish than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance when all the skill of art is not able to make an oyster!

True ease in writing comes from art not chance as those who move easiest have learned to dance.

Chance gives rise to thoughts and chance removes them no art can keep or acquire them.

Today's developer is a poor substitute for the committed entrepreneur of the last century for whom the work of architecture represented a chance to celebrate the worth of his enterprise.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.

We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we changing continue to love a changed person.
