I never got the opportunity to be romantic or feel romantic with anyone.

I work on a TV show I love I have the opportunity to do movies with actors I respect and I'm in love with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with who pushes me and excites me.

I have as much input to the blues I just never got the chance the opportunity or maybe the respect.

The owner of the New York Yankees Mr. George Steinbrenner who I had the greatest respect for I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to win that special ring in 1996.

I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.

Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons regardless of race or gender may have the opportunity to earn respect responsibility advancement and remuneration based on ability.

First and foremost I'm a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity rights and respect.

The Apology opened the opportunity for a new relationship based on mutual respect and mutual responsibility between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia. Because without mutual respect and mutual responsibility the truth is we can achieve very little.

I take any opportunity I can to raise our country's flag really high and get some shining positive light on things over there.

The Games are just a nice positive way to build friendships camaraderie and of course self-esteem. Plus the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.

I've tried to take the opportunity to be as positive a person as I can be as positive role model as I can be.

And I'm a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive and as it turned out it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.

Perhaps one of the only positive pieces of advice that I was ever given was that supplied by an old courtier who observed: Only two rules really count. Never miss an opportunity to relieve yourself never miss a chance to sit down and rest your feet.

African-Americans who might have disagreed with candidate Obama's left-of-center politics voted for him in 2008 because electing a candidate with brown skin was too historic an opportunity to miss.

The government needs to help those in need but members of Congress shouldn't take advantage of the situation and use a national tragedy as an opportunity to spend taxpayer dollars on their pet projects.

I want to arrive at the possibility of peace with the Syrians and when I believe that the conditions are right I will not miss the opportunity.

Israel welcomes the wind of change and sees a window of opportunity. Democratic and science-based economies by nature desire peace. Israel does not want to be an island of affluence in an ocean of poverty. Improvements in our neighbours' lives mean improvements to the neighbourhood in which we live.

But this Veterans Day I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present.

We are a people that have always celebrated other people's success so long as we always had the opportunity to meet that success ourselves. That is the American nature. That is the American character. That is one of the things that makes us different from the rest of the world. And I'm afraid we could lose that or are on the verge of losing that.

A lot of the music that you listen to now is because of the things that the Meters did the Neville Brothers did and they're there the guys who invented those beats that the guys sample today. Such an enormous opportunity.

The movies that made me want to make movies were action movies and thrillers and Kurosawa films you know where you have an opportunity every day to shoot it in an unusual way. I was looking for something like that.

I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.

Opportunity does not knock it presents itself when you beat down the door.

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.'
