As I became very defined in my personal politics I turned down some films that I slightly regret now I'm not going to say what they were.

Of course there are regrets. I shall regret always that I found my own authentic voice in politics. I was too conservative too conventional. Too safe too often. Too defensive. Too reactive. Later too often on the back foot.

Nothing is wrong with peace and love. It is all the more regrettable that so many of Christ's followers seem to disagree.

I'm torn about late parenting. I believe people should spend their twenties living and having fun and not having any regrets later. I also think people in their thirties generally make better parents but so many of my friends are having trouble - myself included - as fathers get older.

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

The one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable like taking the kids to movies and theme parks.

I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.

I go to the movies a lot and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like to find them offering no more surprises.

I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.

The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance yet we quit it with regret we make up our minds every night to leave it early but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.

Mom never quit on me. My only regret is that she didn't live long enough to share some of the money and comforts my work in show business has brought me.

I regret to this day that I never went to college. I feel I should have been a doctor.

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.

Looking back I have this to regret that too often when I loved I did not say so.

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances making decisions and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.

At the end of your life you will never regret not having passed one more test not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband a friend a child or a parent.

I do not regret one moment of my life.

You make mistakes but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am.

I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.

It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

In history as in human life regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.
