I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.

My mom didn't let me play video games growing up so now I do. Gaming gives me a chance to just let go blow somebody up and fight somebody from another dimension. It's all escapism.

If men are honest everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone at least a basic chance.

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.

I finally got a chance to talk to my daughter from my previous marriage. I just got married May 3 to my beautiful wife but we don't see each other much.

Cross-cultural marriage is difficult especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

We don't get a chance to do that many things and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief and then you die you know? So this is what we've chosen to do with our life.

There are moments in life when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word it overflows and its secret Spilt on the ground like water can never be gathered together.

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.

There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life their Christianity for instance.

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people to travel and expand my financial capabilities to get ideas and learn about life to create a world apart from basketball.

For the happiest life days should be rigorously planned nights left open to chance.

I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly.

For 'So Cold the River ' I'm actually working on adapting the book with Scott Silver who was just nominated for an Oscar for 'The Fighter ' and who also wrote '8 Mile ' which I think is a terrific screenplay. The chance to work with Scott is a tremendous pleasure and I'm learning a lot.

If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq it will mean learning from our mistakes not denying them and not ignoring them.

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

To meet the expectations of the majority of our people and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

But in the name of the experimental method and out of our poor knowledge are we really entitled to claim that everything happens by chance to the exclusion of all other possibilities?

How can faceless bureaucrats in an intelligence agency deny brave soldiers a chance to tell the truth?

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker and they liked us to learn poems by heart which I found I loved doing.
