Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government and that means making some tough choices tightening our belts.

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues it has three choices: It can raise taxes print money or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians all three options are bad for average Americans.

Our choices are going to determine the future for our children our children's children and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.

Sometimes I make very selfish choices like I did 'Once Upon A Time' for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child. I've done some movies because I would regret them if I didn't but other projects I've done because they've scared me or if I felt I needed to do a big romantic comedy to help me professionally.

In a time of tight budgets difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.

In retrospect the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.

People always ask me 'What is it that you regret?' And I say 'nothing because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.

Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers better options and better choices for a better future.

There is nothing funny about a well-adjusted intelligent person making the right choices.

Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.

My daughters your daughters our daughters deserve safety protection and the freedom to make their own choices about their personal lives and their physical selves.

The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize obey and conform to their choices.

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.

I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson's. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices there's freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn't have otherwise found myself in.

Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy happiness negativity pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

A human being has been given an intellect to make choices and we know there are other food sources that do not require the killing of a creature that would protest being killed.

For whatever reason maybe it's because of my story but people associate Livestrong with exercise and physical fitness health and lifestyle choices like that.

Another parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that because we fear that any mistake no matter how minor could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.

Eighty percent of all choices are based on fear. Most people don't choose what they want they choose what they think is safe.

You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.

I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism and what we're lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear and it's worse than fear - it's active disengagement.

We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift also its greatest curse is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.

Dates with actors finally just seemed to me evenings of shop talk. I got sick of it after a hile. So the more famous I became the more I narrowed down my choices.
