Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.

When I make a film I'm away from home for two to three months. So I want my kids to look at my films one day and say I love his movies I love his choices-because he loved them.

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating honorable and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take based on our own decisions and choices as individuals link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history.

There are certain moments in the history of a nation when the choices made define the decades to come.

The good news is Americans know firsthand the benefits of a free market - more choices lower prices higher quality - and there is no reason why we cannot help them see these same benefits in health care.

We have really good data that show when you take patients and you really inform them about their choices patients make more frugal choices. They pick more efficient choices than the health care system does.

Americans want and deserve a broad array of health insurance choices so they can identify those that best fit their own individual or family needs. These choices expand when we allow free enterprise to foster innovation not smother it with taxes and one-size fits all ideology.

One of the things I like best about 'Biggest Loser' is being around people who are trying to make the right choices. When you feel defeated about your weight and your health like there's no hope and you still make the choice to fight for it to make the change happen no matter what people say or think that's inspiring to me.

It's correct that I wanted health reform to do more to create choices and promote competition.

One side of the American psyche wants smaller government lower taxes and more choices for individuals even if those choices increase risk. The other wants a strong social safety net to protect the weakest among us even if it costs more to minimize risk.

Higher taxes is the road to ruin. We must and we will shrink our government and that means making some tough choices tightening our belts.

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues it has three choices: It can raise taxes print money or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians all three options are bad for average Americans.

Our choices are going to determine the future for our children our children's children and their children. I take that responsibility very seriously.
