One of the most difficult things to think about in life is one’s regrets. Something will happen to you, and you will do the wrong thing, and for years afterward you will wish you had done something different.

There's no regret more painful than the regret of things that never were.

Not having any regrets might actually be my biggest regret. I wish I was capable of feeling regret.

the worst thing about regret is that it makes you duck the chance of new regret, just as you get a glimmer that nothing is worth doing unless it has the potential to fuck up your whole life.

One of the worst things about losing my mother at the age I did was how very much there was to regret.

Biggest regret: Being compelled to stop my cinema studies to work as an actor. Even though I’m so passionate about acting today, after high school I was so eager to become a filmmaker. Still in my mind today...

That’s always the hardest thing when someone completely has you fooled so much, that you think they’re just never going to hurt you, then they do. That’s when you get the worst heartbreak.

NOTHING HURTS MORE THAN LIVING SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE.

Forgiveness is a heartache and difficult to achieve because strangely, it not only refuses to eliminate the original wound, but actually draws us closer to its source. To approach forgiveness is to close in on the nature of the hurt itself, the only remedy being, as we approach its raw centre, to reimagine our relation to it.

I now regret it because it caused the person I loved the most pain she could not bear. I should have been aware that to tell her was very wrong. It also hurts me that she was not then able to live to see my success.

It is a sweet, albeit most painful, feeling
To know we are regretted.

And yet it disturbs me to learn I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional.

We all must suffer one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

There are many crossroads in life. All regrets stem from what happened at one moment we never imagined would happen to us. When our own action brings about an unexpected result, how can we not experience huge regret? After all, do we ever get another shot?
