Mandy Patinkin
American actor and singer
I would have been a better listener. I would have pursued more friendships instead of focusing so much on work and myself. I’m doing all that now, but I’m running out of time.
Jennifer Hudson
American singer and actress
I wouldn’t change a thing. Every experience is a lesson learned.
Katherine Parkinson
English actor
I wish I hadn’t been a heavy smoker for so many years.
Ronnie O'Sullivan
English snooker player
I would go back to when I was 14 and keep to my own style of playing snooker. I was perfect, but I didn’t think I was, so I started playing like everybody else and created bad habits. With a little more time, I could have been the ultimate player. I look at my career and I probably got 75% out of it instead of 100%.
