There is something to be said about making a big play at any time.
If I waited for perfection... I would never write a word.
When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take - choose the bolder.
Really, my biggest risk was just the initial step to quit my day job to do music. I was packaging and shipping for an art gallery in Manhattan; I went to school for painting, so I always wanted to work around artwork, even though I wasn't really contributing anything to the scene.
I think it's important to take chances.
Things can fall apart, or threaten to, for many reasons, and then there's got to be a leap of faith. Ultimately, when you're at the edge, you have to go forward or backward; if you go forward, you have to jump together.
I don't regret leaving Arsenal.
There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.
When the fishbowl gets too small, it's time to pack up and leave and jump into the lake or ocean.
Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
Do I regret leaving Milan? I decided I needed a change. I needed to find new ideas, and that was the best thing for both parties.
I have been determined for the past couple of years to move away from all those Holiday programmes.
There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk.
I like to take chances.
I left my apartment in London and I sold everything. I literally had $1000 and a suitcase when I got on the plane. The next day I enrolled in my first acting class. We had some great people, Jim Carrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Molly Ringwald. It was very inspirational.
People take chances every now and then, and you don't want to disappoint them.
Trust and start walking. We are not alone in the dark, our path will unfold as we move.
People tend to settle for the fiver rather than going for the pot of gold.
Playing it safe isn't fun; you have to take a chance.
I think people thought I was crazy for leaving Mexico when I had any project I wanted falling at my feet. But I risked everything to come to Los Angeles, where no one knew who I was, and start all over again. It was a very hard step to take. However, it was the moment I thought it was right to take a risk in my career.
I love taking chances.
...The task is overwhelming, and the chance is slight. We must take the chance or die.
I knew it was all or nothing.
The only safe thing is to take a chance.
