I've never made a conscious decision to choose work over other considerations.
The problem - when you cast your net that wide - is you inevitably catch something you don't want to catch.
making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
There's a vast difference between marketing a movie and the movie itself. You try to cast as wide and broad a net as possible.
No deliberation made by a single person will be successful; the nature of the work which a sovereign has to do is to be inferred from the consideration of both the visible and invisible causes. The clearance of doubts as to whatever is susceptible of two opinions, and the inference of the whole when only a part is seen is possible of decision only by ministers. Hence the king shall sit at deliberation with persons of wide intellect.
When I made the decision - when my team-mates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision - it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. But it happened.
It was such a depressing time. I didn't look very depressed, maybe, but it was really dire. I made a conscious decision not to stop, but it could have gone the other way.
Quite a while ago, I made a conscious choice to place my teaching first, so it was very ego-invested. That decision wasn't a good thing in some ways.
Not only have I improved my mental health, I've actually made a real conscious decision to go and improve my physical health, as well.
Once a decision is made, you should stop worrying and start working. It’s not always what we know that makes it a good decision. It is what we do to implement and execute it that makes it a good decision.
I made a conscious decision after I did 'The Duchess of Malfi' at the Old Vic in 2012, when my daughter was six months old, to try doing more screen work.
I made a conscious decision not to date actors.
I really hate to be put in the position of trying to justify something, a decision that was made. I'm a military guy: when a decision is made, I go along with it, whatever the manufactured controversy and criticism.
I made the conscious decision to not have kids, and I didn't want to be married.
You should really cast a big net when it comes to life and learning. In the end, you're so much better for it.
The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space-each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.
