There's always something to suggest that you'll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.

If you look at anybody who's had along career if you look at the choices they've made - even if the movies haven't worked - they've always worked with great filmmakers.

Everybody gets typecast in movies but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look so you have to fight that. If producers had their way I'd only be in action films but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I hate movies that tell people what to think. I'm proud that Democrats thought 'Thank You For Smoking' was their film and Republicans thought it was theirs. I'm proud that pro-choice people thought 'Juno' was their film and pro-life people thought it was theirs.

I was always raised on cowboy films and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

Somebody asked me about the current choice we're being given in the presidential election. I said Well it's like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done it's always your choice.

People assume I'm out there having this great life but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.

I had really great parents who always gave me lots of opportunity for choice but I didn't always realize how rare that was for a girl for them to say 'You can be a mom or have a career or do both or do something we haven't thought of yet.'

My mom was a big 'Smurfs' fan so she would force me to watch every Saturday morning. I had no choice in the matter. I would jump downstairs on Saturday morning 'Hurray cartoons!' and she would say 'Smurfs! That's what you're watching.'

I feel like I'm a stay-at-home mom which I was for the five years before this. She's absolutely been my focus. That's the choice I made. Desperate Housewives is perfect for me. I get to go back to work and still be able to take my daughter to school and pick her up.

My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make listening being objective and open-minded and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.

I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who is bisexual because that means they also sleep with men and men are so dirty that I'd never sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.

It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.

So I applied to medical school and received a scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis. Washington University turned out to be a lucky choice. The faculty was scholarly and dedicated and accessible to students.

I'd like to think Helen very much understood what it was to be disadvantaged in the medical field. And that that was something that she never let dictate her choices.

Libertarians argue that no normal adult has the right to impose choices on other normal adults except in abnormal circumstances such as when one person finds another unconscious and administers medical assistance or calls an ambulance.

When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa in the late 1950s I thought what a wonderful marriage this was biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit.

I am for gay marriage. Or same-sex marriage. I don't want to say it the wrong way. I think people are sensitive to it. I have been painted as being this right-wing zealot on choice. Nothing could be further from the truth.

You can't wake up one day and say 'I'm for gay marriage ' and wake up the next day and say 'I'm against it.' Wake up one day and say 'I'm pro-choice ' and the next day wake up and say 'I'm pro-life.' There's no credibility there.

Ultimately I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices right?

I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent go ahead. You can't have it all.

For me working on the marriage and not making the easy choice of cheating was something that I could not do.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
