'The Slap' is not like anything else. It's an incredibly well-written novel that has been turned into a great and intriguing series that reveals both less and more about each character than you learn in the book. It's a novel that has been given a second chance to live.

Essie Davis

We're not willing to give black leaders second chances because, in most cases, we're not willing to give them first chances.

Al Sharpton

If children who commit crimes are not given the opportunity of a second chance, they may die in prison for acts made before having developed the cognitive and emotional skills needed to make informed and smart decisions and choices.

Alan K. Simpson

Across the nation, there are thousands of individuals serving life or life-equivalent sentences for crimes they committed as children. This means they will likely die in prison without a chance to prove to society they are worthy of a second chance.

Alan K. Simpson

My heart stopped seven times and I had to be resuscitated seven times. It's incredible I'm still here so every day I feel happy to have a second chance but I'm sorry to say I didn't see any tunnel or any light at the end of it.

Alex Zanardi

I got this second chance at life, and I live it.

Amy Purdy

Every actor dreams of getting a second chance to reprise a role.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger

I'm walking proof that second chances work. I want to help others get the same opportunities I've been given.

Angela Stanton-King

Sometimes in life, you're not always given a second chance, but if you do, take advantage of it, and go out with a bang!

Aquaria

I believe in second chances.

Arnel Pineda

Now, America is a land of second chances, and I gather you have room for the estimated 6 million of us who know we got it wrong in 2008 and who want to fix it.

Artur Davis

You could make the most beautiful film, and that weekend it's raining too hard on the East Coast, and no one goes out. Artists should have a chance to do it again. That's the challenge: Women artists don't get a second chance. People-of-color artists don't get a second chance. You're put in director's jail, and that's a wrap.

Ava DuVernay

If I've been dating someone for, say, five months, and she cheats on me, I don't think it would be worth it. I'm not committed enough to the situation to give her a second chance.

Avan Jogia

Giving low-level offenders a second chance, no matter the color of their skin or the economic status they hold, can create opportunity for all of us.

Beto O'Rourke

Everyone deserves a second chance. That's just the way I am.

Booker T

To be on this set today, I feel very blessed for the second chance and for the opportunity, my record company believing in me and everybody here just showing me so much love and support.

Brandy Norwood

I'm an example of why people deserve second chances.

Cam Newton

The U.S. is supposed to be a nation of second chances, but for the 70 million Americans with a criminal record, we're not doing such a great job. Even among those whose crimes were nonviolent and committed long ago, too many still bear a scarlet letter.

Cass Sunstein

I will get an opportunity to play again. Why? Because this is the NFL and there's always second chances.

Chad Johnson

As a high school dropout, I understand the value of education: A second chance at obtaining my high school diploma through the G.I. Bill led me to attend college and law school and allowed me the opportunity to serve in Congress.

Charles B. Rangel

I am a firm believer that upon release, ex-offenders should be afforded a second chance to become productive citizens by providing rehabilitation and education that will help them join the workforce.
