Justin Cronin Quotes

Every man writes his manner. I just made poor decisions.

If I would have had the same opportunities when I was 22, there's a good chance I would have squandered them. I know my work wouldn't have been any good.

We all do the wrong thing. And then we have to wake up the next morning and live with the fact that we have done things that are wrong.

I can't even say I made my own mistakes. Really - one has to ask oneself - what dignity is there in that?

Isn't every hero aware of all the terrible reason they did those good deeds?" Aware of every mistake they ever made and how good people got hurt because of their decisions? Don't they recall the moments they weren't heroic at all? The moments where their heroism led to more deaths than deliberate villainy ever could?

I'm a grown man. You know, I've been in a lot of scrapes, but I never felt like I got so - there are probably a lot of things I should have done that I didn't do.

To me, it's always interesting to see what people end up regretting, as a way maybe to avoid such regrets in your own life.

I am the result of the good choices I've made and the bad choices.

I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I've made some bad choices.

Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.

I've had my share of doing things that I really wish I hadn't done.

It's hard to regret making the choice that you think is right.

Basically, when I did 'Infinity' in 1997, I had thoughts in my head that left me with a lot of questions. I've gone to certain personal limits with 'Infinity' that, at the end of it, I think, scared me. And I've made a lot of really kinda bad mistakes as a result of that.

Everything I've learned, I've learned with the beatings I've gotten from all of the bad choices I made.

I have to accept the trouble I've got into, a lot of it has been either decisions I've made or probably not thought long and hard enough about.

Every choice leads you somewhere, but it might not be where you truly want to be if the decision is based on someone else. It could lead to regrets and what-ifs, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't still have valuable experiences.

I just thought to myself, 'What am I doing? Is this how I'm going to live my adult life, banging my head, especially with what I've learned and know about the dangers?'

I have never forgiven myself…that I might have made a mistake.

I have fallen, I have sunk so low. I have messed up, better I should know.

The mistakes you make now count. Not for everything, and not forever. But they do matter, and they shape you.If you take nothing else from what I've been through, at least remember this: make your choices well. Because you'll always be accountable for them. That's what being an adult is all about.

Sometimes you make your mistakes with your eyes wide open.

I know I should just leave. Just go. Because there's a point where a mistake turns into a big mistake, and I should probably come to my senses before I get there.

I don't want to mess up my life. You only get one shot. I don't want to let my fans or anybody else down. So, I always think before I act. And as long as I do that, I'll be okay.

I know the mistake I am making. I see the exits in life.

If I have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over- only living with the mistakes you've made.
