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.
I always maintained I’m a good simple boy from Punjab. Some chose not to believe me. Now the same people are happy to work with me.
Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change.

There are the guys that wear the white hats and they’re painting the picture of someone to wear the black hat and they chose me – even though they don’t really know me.
It was coincidental that ‘Housefull 2’ and ‘Bol Bachchan’ came back-to-back. It’s not that I have a special affinity for them and so I chose them; they just came my way.

There were songs that we cut out after we chose the name, because ‘Praise Break’ turned out to be an underlying concept that I didn’t know was there.

The role and the script are not the only factor to chose or do a film, but the names associated with the project also matters.

I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for ‘Show Boat.’ The kind of theater I chose to be involved in is completely a direct reflection of what ‘Show Boat’ made possible.
What no one tells you – or maybe they did tell me, and I chose not to listen – is that there’s really no ‘coming back’ from bleached platinum hair. You sort of have to cut it all off and start over.
My mother used to dress me in quite good-taste clothes, and I really wanted things that were sparkly and spangly and trashy and nasty. I don’t know if I ever chose fashion; it was just there in me.

I chose to have a career, and I enjoyed it while I had it.

I feel like I’m the chosen one, but I chose myself.

To join or not to join films was the biggest choice I had to make. I’d done two years of biogenetic engineering, was an economics graduate and a gold medalist. I had also been a Bharatanatyam dancer from age five, always won the best actress award in school. Finally, I decided to do things for my soul, chose to act.
America says we are a great democratic society and other people should follow our example. Well, I say we benefited from slavery, and as a nation, we never faced that because the people in power chose not to.
The biggest thing I’ve found since I left the game – and I’m glad I chose to leave rather than being sacked – is that so many people are in football for the wrong reasons. Not because they love the game, but because they smell money.
I don’t know why I chose to make my debut with ‘Dil Maange More.’ The film had three leading ladies – Tulip Joshi, Ayesha Takia and me – opposite Shahid Kapoor. I was fresh to Bollywood at that time because I had just come back from England and had no clue about hero-heroine dynamics in India.
I was a good student. For a while, my parents did make me cope with school and films simultaneously. But after a point, this wasn’t practical. I had to choose between studies and films. I chose films.

I never said I want to be an actor. I just went quietly, quietly, I’m going to do this myself, so I chose the journey in my own way.

President Obama chose politics over leadership. ‘Hope’ and ‘Change’ have become bait-and-switch.
They say that every Jewish person is supposed to love one black person in his life. I’m glad Lorne Michaels chose me.
I hadn’t made up my mind whether I had to do Hollywood or Bollywood films because I loved both, and I grew up on both. So I am glad that Bollywood chose me.
I chose Juventus for their winning mindset.
The world’s a better place since I chose music.
My dream was to set up my own e-commerce company. In 1999, I gathered 18 people in my apartment and spoke to them for two hours about my vision. Everyone put their money on the table, and that got us $60,000 to start Alibaba. I wanted to have a global company, so I chose a global name.

My wife is a writer. She grew up in Alaska. She told me she was moving to Boulder and that I could come with her if I wanted to. We were married at the time, so I chose to come with her.
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.

I loved all sports, and New York’s a pretty good sports town, and the Giants – I don’t know why we chose the Giants over the Jets, but we chose the Giants.
‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ should’ve never been made into our national anthem. That President Woodrow Wilson, widely thought to be one of the most bigoted presidents ever elected, chose it as our national anthem, is painfully telling as well.
Yahoo! had a choice. It chose to provide an e-mail service hosted on servers based inside China, making itself subject to Chinese legal jurisdiction. It didn’t have to do that. It could have provided a service hosted offshore only.

I’ve always liked my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes for me were never a cloak, a cover. They were how I chose to express myself.
