During the Great Depression when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one.

I had everything I'd hoped for but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me.

As told in Friendship with God if we simply decided to believe and act as if first we're all one and second life is eternal it would render virtually everything we've done all our lives pointless.

A growing number of young women who have the freedom to decide have decided that career can wait and the delicious early years of their children's lives can't.

Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible but to give the patient's ego freedom to decide one way or another.

I worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the White House on nuclear energy policy. But I decided it would be much more fun to have a specialty food store so I left Washington D.C. and moved to the Hamptons. And how glad I am that I did!

I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient I could be qualifying for like the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

Europe is difficult to coordinate and our main deficit may not even lie in this area of finance and economics but in foreign and security policy. We have a leadership problem because we are still 27 different members who have still not decided on how to work with each other based on what we used to call a European constitution.

I decided to make 'Captain America' because I realized I wasn't doing the film because it terrified me. You can't make decisions based on fear.

I guess we decided to make a new record 3 years ago when Nancy was done scoring for Almost Famous.

Decide very early on: do you want to be an actor or do you want to be famous? Because they're very different routes.

We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.

Yes we were looking for a Faith spin-off but then Faith backed down. Eliza got a really wonderful offer over on Fox in a show and for reasons I didn't talk to her about she decided to go there and everyone respects that.

I think church and state should remain entirely separate at all costs and that the decision of religious marriage should be of each faith to debate and decide free of political influence.

I haven't lost faith in human nature and I haven't decided to be less compassionate to strangers.

The great act of faith is when a man decides he is not God.

We decided to try in vitro because both Peter and I felt we couldn't handle another failure. When I miscarried after that we had to come to terms with the possibility that this wasn't meant to be.

Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a factor that decides between success and failure.
