"Let me tell ya. You gotta pay attention to signs. When life reaches out with a moment like this it's a sin if you don't reach back... I'm telling you."

"Who you are tomorrow begins with what you do today."

"All statistics have outliers."

"I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street"

"My favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'"

"Maybe there's a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people."

"There are people who are able to plan their career, their future, but I've never had any talent for that. I just do things and hope for the best. Say yes, take a chance, and sometimes it's terrific and sometimes it's not."

"I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?"

"I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision.

Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part."

"Life, for the living, is a gift of opportunity; an exercise of the will to choose."

"In case you never get a second chance: don't be afraid!""And what if you do get a second chance?""You take it!"

"It is either coincidence piled on top of coincidence,"said Hollus, "or it is deliberate design."

"I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect."

"To be invisible, paint yourself with the direct shade of zero. Leave nothing to chance, by taking nothing with you wherever you go."

"If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about."

"Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?"

"The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open."
