Regretted Quotations | Page 2

I want to thank myself. Forty-five years ago, I graduated from the University of Ottawa and had a few career opportunities available, but I chose television and I've never, ever regretted that decision.

What is the problem? As far as we are concerned the ban could have been lifted ages ago. It is to be regretted that the beef ban, in place for all sorts of reasons, could not have been lifted earlier.

I did it years ago and regretted it. Fifteen minutes later, it was like, 'Oh, man, I just got rid of a hat.' But then, in your mind, you start rationalizing it. It was worth it. You start to think, 'Now what are they going to do with these things?' You hope they give them to kids or to the less fortunate, somebody who can't spend 18 bucks on a cap. You'd like to think it's put to good use.

I did 'Degrassi' for five years in Toronto, and I made the decision to quit the show to go to theatre school, which a lot of people thought I was really crazy to do, but it was one of those major decisions in my life that I haven't regretted - hopefully I won't! I really wanted to go to school.

It could have changed my career right there. I was worried. I definitely regretted it as soon as it happened. I probably won't ever touch one (a basketball) again. I learned from it.

Dave Watson's career has been similar to mine, and from what I have been told he has been one of the players of the season for Everton. I know I would have regretted not taking this opportunity. Everton is a traditional club in my eyes, with a great, passionate support. I think it will be a great place to play football.

He had such a sense of responsibility. He thought he could do the most good (in the police force). He told us he never regretted joining, even though the job was so hard.

I regretted the solitary nature of the writer's life - other people, normal working people, spent their days with co-workers, rode the subway home with a crowd, walked through thronged streets. I worked at home, all by myself.

I regretted that the federal open market committee today continued to take interest rates up. You know, growth in the fourth quarter of last year dropped to just about one percent, the worst since 2002 in terms of quarterly growth in the economy. So, we're concerned about that.

Playing for 14 years definitely took its toll mentally. I decided when I was playing my last season that when I retired from football I would never go back into it, and I've never regretted that decision.
