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.
