If I knew then -

I wouldn't have gone out on that first date, moved in with him before I even graduated, or married him. I would have stayed single or waited till I met someone I couldn't live without.

I would have decided TO grow up, and what I wanted to be when I did.



And I think I would have kept trying to get a band together.

If I still could, I'd have my kids. But I'd be a whole lot tougher on them. I was such a pushover. Why didn't they have Nanny 911 back then?

Polar Express is right though. It's not about regrets, it's about realizing that doors have closed but windows are open.

I've blown a lot of chances and screwed up a lot of stuff. But then Perlman finished a concert with one string, and I have at least two strings left.

Paul Simon said, in You can call me Al, 'I want a shot at redemption'.

Every day you wake up you get another shot.
