In the '70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn't really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the '70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn't think you had a choice.
~By Aimee Mann ~

~By Elizabeth Berkley ~

~By Christian Lacroix ~
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious.

~By Ruth Bader Ginsburg ~

~By Mangosuthu Buthelezi ~
I don't like telling people where I stand on this, although I'm surprised anybody wonders. I suppose if I say I'm pro-choice, if I make that clear, it let's the audience off the hook, then they can sort of relax. Okay, it's alright he's pro-choice then I can enjoy this.
~By Todd Solondz ~
And before our current legislature adjourns, we intend to become the first state of full and true choice by saying to every low and middle-income Hoosier family, if you think a non-government school is the right one for your child, you're as entitled to that option as any wealthy family; here's a voucher, go sign up.

~By Carly Fiorina ~

~By Hillary Clinton ~

~By John Morton ~
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.
~By Kristen Stewart ~
I think people are going to have a choice to make in the fall. But I think there's no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There's no doubt about that.

~By Megan Fox ~
I think that certainly my choices empower me.
