I could think of worse ways of going than at the poker table.
‐‐ Al Alvarez
I could throw pretty hard. I might strike out 16 guys, but I might walk 10. I mean, I was wild.
‐‐ Bruce Sutter
I could truly have gone through life thinking that women were these venomous creatures. Turns out, they're not.
‐‐ Claire Danes
I could try to incorporate or reflect in my models what it is that an employee, manager, or entrepreneur does: to recognize that most are engaged in their work, form expectations and evolve beliefs, solve problems, and have ideas. Trying to put these people into economic models became my project.
‐‐ Edmund Phelps
I could type in a closet and be fine. It's just a matter of cocooning myself. Just me and the story.
‐‐ Karin Slaughter
I could undertake to be an efficient pupil if it were possible to find an efficient teacher.
‐‐ Gertrude Stein
I could've always worked shows, clubs, Las Vegas and Atlantic City, but I was successful in business ventures, and things weren't happening in show business, so I said, 'Let me see what I can do.'
‐‐ Gabe Kaplan
I could've ended up in action films forever. But the comedy thing has been my forte.
‐‐ Terry Crews
I could've just walked away but I never could have forgiven myself to allow Starbucks to drift into mediocrity or not be relevant. I just couldn't be a bystander.
‐‐ Howard Schultz
I could've played basketball, but my mind was on baseball. I didn't know what I was in for. In high school it was a matter of talent. No one told you what to do.
‐‐ Eric Davis
I could've shot the whole East Village, because it was and is my neighborhood. But Seventh Street is precious to me.
‐‐ Josh Pais
I could wake up six in the morning, go downstairs and record. I learned how to use ProTools and everything. Whenever I felt it, I could record.
‐‐ Beanie Sigel
I could walk and swim at 10 months old.
‐‐ Brandon Cruz
I could walk into anyone's home one time and draw a three-dimensional architectural plan of the inside of their home from memory, but I could not add up a column of numbers.
‐‐ Patricia Polacco
I could wear makeup today, and one person would say it looks bland, another would say it looks fake, and another might tell me I look really natural. Everyone is convinced their opinion is the truth, and that's what I struggle against.
‐‐ Sheena Iyengar
I could work 24 hours and I wouldn't complain once because I'm happiest when I'm working.
‐‐ Victoria Justice
I could work in the shower if I had plastic paper.
‐‐ Umberto Eco
I could work out a lot of my emotions by going to class and dancing.
‐‐ Suzanne Farrell
I could write a thesis on the physiology of vision. But I had no way to look through the fabric of confabulation spun by a man with severe lung disease who was prescribed 'home oxygen', but gave a false address out of embarrassment because he had no 'home.'
‐‐ Siddhartha Mukherjee
I could write and help a lot of kids, or teach and help a few and go nuts.
‐‐ S. E. Hinton
I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it.
‐‐ Jean M. Auel
I could write six songs in one day with everything that's going on.
‐‐ Alanis Morissette
I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
‐‐ Paul Weller
I could write songs as bad as Wham's if I really felt the urge to, but what's the point?
‐‐ Robert Smith
I couldn't achieve the American dream in Japan.
‐‐ Shuji Nakamura
I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida.
‐‐ Sidney Poitier
I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida. It was so blatant... I had never been so described as Florida described me.
‐‐ Sidney Poitier
I couldn't afford therapy, so I just watched 'Frasier.' Season 4 was a breakthrough.
‐‐ Cristela Alonzo
I couldn't afford to go to drama school in London. Then I met with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, and I fell in love with the city. It was one of the few schools that offered me a place. It didn't do me any harm.
‐‐ Tom Ellis
I couldn't ask for a better life.
‐‐ Freddy Adu
I couldn't be a cameraman or a designer or an actor - I have to be a director because I learned how to do that from my dad.
‐‐ Joe Wright
I couldn't be a director because I couldn't put up with the actors. I don't have the patience. Why, I'd probably kill the actors. Not to mention some of the beautiful actresses.
‐‐ Spencer Tracy
I couldn't be a police officer. It's a very difficult job to put your life in the face of danger for someone else, and that is extremely selfless. To now vilify cops is not really the way I think it should be looked at.
‐‐ Reginald VelJohnson
I couldn't be a royal. It's like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.
‐‐ Ozzy Osbourne
I couldn't be a writer without hope. I think I became a writer because I'm pretty optimistic.
‐‐ Jacqueline Woodson
I couldn't be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you're ridiculed.
‐‐ Julia Roberts
I couldn't be as charming as my mother or as smart as my father. So I decided to be bad.
‐‐ Markie Post
I couldn't be happier.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.
‐‐ Jennifer Lawrence
I couldn't be happier teaming up to make the feature with a company as innovative as VICE. There is so much the world doesn't know about piracy in Somalia and the people involved, and I'm excited to be telling a story of piracy in Somalia from a different perspective.
‐‐ Cutter Hodierne
I couldn't be happier that President Bush has stood up for having served in the National Guard, because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War.
‐‐ Larry David
I couldn't be happier to not be acting. I miss it, but I don't miss the auditioning or trying to get work.
‐‐ Paul Feig
I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.
‐‐ Kenny Loggins
I couldn't be 'Johnny' in front of a camera in acting jobs and behind the camera I like to be 'Michael.' With directing, you can't do it by halves. There's a lot of reflection, and I have found that I, as 'Michael,' thrive on it. It's lovely coming home and feeling that stuff from a day's work as myself.
‐‐ Johnny Vegas
I couldn't be luckier to wake up every morning and be so excited to get to work, even if it's five in the morning.
‐‐ Carly Chaikin
I couldn't be more American if I tried. I was born in Ethiopia, but I was raised and educated as an American.
‐‐ Dinaw Mengestu
I couldn't be more blessed.
‐‐ Armie Hammer
I couldn't be more excited to return to the ING New York City Marathon.
‐‐ Ryan Hall
I couldn't be more proud of my work as a progressive.
‐‐ Christine Quinn
I couldn't be more proud to introduce Anne-Marie Duff, a phenomenal actress who is bursting on the world stage, to Broadway audiences as Lady Macbeth.
‐‐ Jack O'Brien
