I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
Bob Seger

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour, then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you, in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.
Anne Campbell

I knew from a young age that I could sing and it was impressed upon me that if I got a classically trained education in voice, it would serve as a foundation for whatever I chose to do.
Shuler Hensley

I knew that I did not have to buy into society's notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my "spaceship" and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.
Warren Mitchell

I like to say that I didn't choose acting - acting chose me.
Ving Rhames

I needed some stability, which is why I chose not to change from HRC for this season, which was an option that we had. Apart from being the best team in the world, I also needed some consistency.
Sete Gibernau

I never had to choose a subject - my subject rather chose me.
Ernest Hemingway

I saw Islam as the correct way to live, and I chose to try to live that way.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I sent 200, 300 of the clothes that I had made, and the dancers chose what they liked.
Issey Miyake

I suppose the reason I chose electrical engineering was because I had always been interested in electricity, involving myself in such projects as building radios from the time I was a child.
Koichi Tanaka

I think I finally chose the graduate degree in engineering primarily because it only took one year and law school took three years, and I felt the pressure of being a little behind - although I was just 22.
Daniel J. Evans

I think the greatest amount of pressure is the pressure I place on myself. So in a way I chose to be alone.
Cathy Freeman

I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.
Elle Macpherson

I would also point out that many governments that chose not to support this war - certainly, the French president, Jacques Chirac, as I recall in April of last year, referred to Iraq's possession of WMD.
David Kay

I would never want to live in L.A., and I made that decision years ago, so I never chose that path for myself, although I have much respect for those that do it at a high level.
Matt Cameron

I would not say I chose to write long poems on a conscious level. The long poem has been a relative constant.
John Barton

I'm disappointed that Senator DeWine once again chose to go along with his party leaders and their big corporate lobbyist supporters. Ohio deserves a Senator who will be more than a rubber stamp.
Sherrod Brown

I'm just so honored that the universe chose me to be the spark that has set off a raging inferno.
Cindy Sheehan

I'm sure that my mom would have been happy with any path I chose.
Joely Fisher

I've been a scuba diver since I was 16 and I think that was one of the reasons they chose me.
Christopher Atkins
