Growing up, I NEVER SAW any Asian FACES on TV, so it didn't feel LIKE a viable option.

You GET into a SITUATION where your back's up against the wall and you don't have any OPTION but to go out swinging, so you might as WELL go for it.

I like to do matrices. One OPTION PER LINE, different facets for each column. Salary, location, HAPPINESS index, FAILURE index, and all that.

My CAREER has been defined, in a good way, on the option route. And a lot of TIMES, it's a bang-bang play. It's a great play because it can convert first DOWNS. But at the same TIME, you don't get a lot of those opportunities in the open field.

I believe that the great majority of PEOPLE coming here illegally have no other option. They WANT to provide for their family. But we NEED to control our BORDER.

So, college was kind of the only OPTION that I LOOKED at, and I was fortunate to have great COACHES when I was at UCLA. They helped me IMPROVE on and off the court.

For a PUBLIC OPTION, I voted for that when I was in Congress, and the Senate couldn't stand up to the HEALTH INSURANCE industry and took it out.

On 'Bar RESCUE,' failure is not an option. I have to TRY to TURN the BUSINESS AROUND.

My parents gave me the EASY option that if you're going to go your WAY, that's the highway. You can EXPECT no funds and no support, which I THINK was legitimate; that was a FAIR option.

When SoFi launched in 2011, it focused squarely on the burgeoning student LOAN market - a market that, unlike HOUSING, had no viable option to refinance both federal and private student LOANS from HIGHER interest-rate eras.

If I SEE someone I think is in a BETTER position than me, it is better for me to give the ball. Now I shoot more at goal. When I was young, they sometimes said to me, 'You need to shoot more. You try to give it too much.' It is something that I LEARNED. To try to take the best option.
