I can put together a pretty decent meal from whatever happens to be in the refrigerator and the pantry. I like the challenge of this sort of improvisation, the rigor of limitation and sometimes having to take a risk.
‐‐ Chang-Rae Lee
I can put tweets on a map to show who is saying what where, which could be used for marketing or social research.
‐‐ Jack Dangermond
I can put up a blog in 10 seconds.
‐‐ Burton Cummings
I can rap in a London accent, make weird faces, wear spandex, wigs, and black lipstick. I can be more creative than the average male rapper.
‐‐ Nicki Minaj
I can rap. Not openly in the world, but it's important that people know! I can rap for a very specific reason, which is that in college I was in an improv comedy group, and we did musical improv.
‐‐ Allison Williams
I can reach people the average person can't reach because I'm as grounded as I am.
‐‐ DMX
I can reach the mass audience if I come from different perspectives on every song.
‐‐ Miranda Lambert
I can read a crowd pretty well. I know what to play and know how to keep it interesting for them and for myself as well. Most of the other DJs are more like producers so they become famous because they make hits and then they start DJ-ing. But I'm more from the other way around.
‐‐ Tiesto
I can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It's a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming.
‐‐ Blake Lively
I can read a lot of French newspapers with Google Translate and have them read quite comfortably.
‐‐ Ethan Zuckerman
I can read a newspaper article, and it might trigger something else in my mind. I often like to choose in historical fiction things or subject matter I don't feel have been given a fair shake in history.
‐‐ Kathryn Lasky
I can read and write. I went to school for six years. I just couldn't continue.
‐‐ Angel Cabrera
I can read in any book and newspaper about the city of Detroit, but I want to hear what the people in Detroit have to say about Detroit. My best education is actually talking to people.
‐‐ Erin Cummings
I can read Middle English stories, Geoffrey Chaucer or Sir Thomas Malory, but once I start moving in the direction of contemporary fantasy, my mind begins to take over.
‐‐ David Eddings
I can read music, but I have no technique, and singing was never an option even though I sang a lot growing up.
‐‐ Mark Morris
I can read people, and if the other person doesn't want to say anything, I'm fine with that. People say things when it's time to say them.

‐‐ Mark Roberts
I can really fish - I've been fishing since I was a kid.
‐‐ Deion Sanders
I can really laugh at myself and make a fool out of myself.
‐‐ Amy Ryan
I can really stir up a conversation. Every time I go to a meeting or a casting, I try to make it as light and funny as I can. I'm always making really awkward jokes. You have to make life fun and not take it too seriously. I may look like I'm very serious and into my work, but if you knew me, I'm just a jokester.
‐‐ Charlotte McKinney
I can really waste a lot of time on the Internet.
‐‐ Amy Brenneman
I can really write what I want. I can take time; I can do nothing for a year. That is paradise.
‐‐ Elfriede Jelinek
I can recall, as a young adult, running through the rain forest at the Forest Reserve, at times feeling a sense of fear when I felt I was in danger. In danger of confronting an ugly snake or a coral snake, which represented the greatest fear of someone in a rural area when you traverse the forest.
‐‐ Anthony Carmona
I can recall back in 1998, in August of that year, when we had a horrible disaster along the Mexican border in the town of Del Rio. At the time, FEMA was the shining star of the federal government. It's now perceived as many to be the dullest knife in the drawer. Right or wrong, that's the perception.
‐‐ Henry Bonilla
I can recall photographs of Comrade Ulbricht being embraced by Comrade Brezhnev, which must have been like putting your arms around Grant's Tomb.
‐‐ Richard Elman
I can recite poetry, but I cannot write it.
‐‐ Irrfan Khan
I can recognize the calls of practically every bird in North America. There are some in Africa I don't know, though.

I can record auditions from my office in my home.
‐‐ Jason Marsden
I can relate to a guy who stays home and does it for his family and friends.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'
‐‐ Kristen Wiig
I can relate to historical characters or imaginary ones. It doesn't matter if a story takes place in the future or in the present, as long as the story is compelling.
‐‐ Eric Stoltz
I can relate to somebody wanting to have something to believe in.
‐‐ Terry O'Quinn
I can relate to soul, R&B... whatever people want to call me is fine. I just hope it makes them feel something.
‐‐ Amos Lee
I can relax in L.A. I think I'm the only person in that town who doesn't want to act. I was an OK singer. I was an OK dancer. But acting? Never could do it.
‐‐ Victoria Beckham
I can relax with bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be shaped by society.
‐‐ Charles Bukowski

‐‐ Richard Dawkins
I can remember back as far as age 8, performing with the Boston Folk Song Society. It was a Woody Guthrie song.
‐‐ Frank Black
I can remember back to my early tour days when some fellows didn't think I'd last too long. Nothing physical - they said it was my swing. Some said it was too much of a 'muscle swing' to stand the test of time. One fellow predicted I wouldn't get past 30 out there.
‐‐ Arnold Palmer
I can remember - barely - when Elton John was still a good songwriter, or at least capable of writing good songs.
‐‐ Terry Teachout
I can remember before 'Rain Man,' I just couldn't get in on anything, any features. After that and it winning the Oscar - the next year, I co-starred in six movies.
‐‐ Beth Grant
I can remember being eight, and I like writing about that age of innocence when children still have a sense of wonder.
‐‐ John Boyne
I can remember being home from school with tonsillitis and writing stories in bed to pass the time.
‐‐ Stephen King
I can remember being in my pram: children stayed in their prams much longer then than they do now. A big bouncy pram with black covers and a hood with metal clips that could trap your fingers. I was looking up at my sister who was sitting on the pram seat, with her back to me.
‐‐ Helen Dunmore
I can remember being very keen to go to drama school at the age of eight, and practising ballet in my bedroom to Queen soundtracks.
‐‐ Carmen Ejogo

‐‐ Hilary Swank
