To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

In hindsight I slid into arrogance based upon past success.

In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists.

You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless but there's a lot of work that goes into it.

This is easy to say with the benefit of hindsight but I think it once again points out how very important style of leadership that is the way he does what he does is to his perception.

People can do all kinds of things that maybe aren't wise in hindsight because of jealousy.

Collecting intelligence information is like trying to drink water out of a fire hydrant. You know in hindsight It's great. The problem is there's a million dots at the time.

I've come to recognize what I call my 'inside interests.' Telling stories. And helping people tell their stories is a sort of interpersonal gardening. My work at NBC News was to report the news but in hindsight I often tried to look for some insight to share that might spark a moment of recognition in a viewer.

And obviously with hindsight now now knowing what went on in the company it would have been absolutely appropriate back then for us to have the chief executive of the company most senior person in the United Kingdom come and answer for the policy they were pursuing. And we ducked that and frankly that's a failure of Parliament.
