I don't think you always get to see a woman on TV who is relatively neurosis-free and, while looking for a relationship, isn't man hunting and isn't cloying and isn't a fashionista.
‐‐ Jordana Spiro
I don't think you are truly successful unless you are a happy person and are happy with your life. I know many people who are professionally successful but miserable.
‐‐ Ivanka Trump
I don't think you automatically become an enlightened person because you are a daddy. But they will change you, of course - their understanding of you puts you in a different place.
‐‐ John Hurt
I don't think you can approach any piece of art with boundaries or rules. I think respect is a very important thing, but I also think what we discover along the way is really important.
‐‐ Jake Gyllenhaal
I don't think you can be a Catholic without an accompanying measure of guilt.
‐‐ Mia Farrow
I don't think you can be a comic book fan and not hate change.
‐‐ Jim Lee
I don't think you can be a credible, modern candidate for president without making the environment a major part of your platform.
‐‐ Graydon Carter
I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
‐‐ Alber Elbaz
I don't think you can be a good listener unless you're a good listener. I think it's something that you really have to do, and if you really do it, then you can do it. If you don't do it, then you can't do it.
‐‐ Dick Gephardt
I don't think you can be from the Caribbean and not know a certain amount about the apocalypse.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
I don't think you can be good in life without acknowledging the part of you that isn't good.
‐‐ Jeff Tweedy
I don't think you can be successful in television without appealing to women. I don't think it's possible. I think that men like women. It doesn't really matter what they do - they love anything. But women don't necessarily like every woman, so I think that's a challenge to get the female audience to not only relate to you but also like you.
‐‐ Maggie Q
I don't think you can be taught how to make art. You can be coached, but on a fundamental level you have to figure it out for yourself. You have to learn how your own mind works, figure out your own relationship to the art; you essentially have to invent it completely for yourself.
‐‐ Philipp Meyer
I don't think you can beat a costumed monster. It's brilliant. I'll take that over CGI any day.
‐‐ Rhys Darby
I don't think you can bring the races together by joking about the differences between them. I'd rather talk about the similarities, about what's universal in their experiences.
‐‐ Bill Cosby
I don't think you can bury words. I think the more you try to dismiss them, the more power you give to them, the more circulation they have.
‐‐ Michael Eric Dyson
I don't think you can climb Mount Everest with a broken leg, but I did break my leg prior to going to Mount Everest, so I was really climbing with a healing broken leg. I had the good fortune of climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. That was a goal that I had.
‐‐ Gary Johnson
I don't think you can come into your wisdom until you have made mistakes on your own skin and felt them in reality of your own life.
‐‐ Elizabeth Gilbert
I don't think you can contrive any sound.
‐‐ George Shearing
I don't think you can cover a song unless you love it and have a relationship with it. With 'Golden Heart' I felt a sense of responsibility. And when we were recording it in the studio, it felt almost dream-like. Something you might hear if you were in Senegal, with someone singing from the mosque in the morning just as the sun's coming up.
‐‐ Neneh Cherry
I don't think you can create effectively toward expectation. I'm not in the service business.
‐‐ Nic Pizzolatto
I don't think you can cry if the script is rubbish. I have to feel it; it's as simple as that. It's just like if you're watching something moving, and you feel yourself welling up. It's the same thing. You're just being carried along with the story. There's nothing magical about it. I think I'm in touch with my emotions, and I can't help it.
‐‐ Olivia Colman
I don't think you can decide how famous or not you become.
‐‐ Rupert Friend
I don't think you can define how you acquire your imagination any more than you can define why one person has a sense of humor and another doesn't. But I certainly would lean to the side that says all those solitary hours of daydreaming were a kind of training for poetry.
‐‐ James Tate
I don't think you can describe your ideal girl. A big part of that is just meeting someone and really clicking with them and wanting to hang out with them all of the time.
‐‐ Aziz Ansari
I don't think you can discriminate against budgets, you know? I'm an actor, I guess, so I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can. If there's a character I think I can play, and they're going to let me do it, I'll do it whether it's $10 or $1 million or more.
‐‐ Ryan Gosling
I don't think you can ease yourself into theater. I just thrust myself into it.
‐‐ LaTanya Richardson
I don't think you can ever assess your work. I don't think Turgenev could assess his any more than I can assess mine, and his didn't have a social impact as much as great literary impact.
‐‐ Rita Mae Brown
I don't think you can ever be ahead of your time with cynicism about that subject. No, I don't think it was ahead of its time. I think it was very much a product of its time.
‐‐ Joe Dante
I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.
‐‐ Frances McDormand
I don't think you can ever do your best. Doing your best is a process of trying to do your best.
‐‐ Townes Van Zandt
I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.
‐‐ Dustin Diamond
I don't think you can ever regain your ignorance.
‐‐ Carla Bley
I don't think you can force a moral opinion or you can force something through a Bollywood film.
‐‐ Ranbir Kapoor
I don't think you can get any more working class than me. Everyone seems posh to me.
‐‐ Danny Dyer
I don't think you can hate anything that you know intimately. There is no fine line separating love from hate because there's a deep chasm separating love from hate.
‐‐ Bell Hooks
I don't think you can have pain and soul-searching doing the right thing for your child.
‐‐ Diane Abbott
I don't think you can help but personalize a role. You almost play to none of the preconceived notions of it. It's more or less a personal experience and journey.
‐‐ Ryan Reynolds
I don't think you can impose a social order from the top down.
‐‐ David Douglas Duncan
I don't think you can impose limits on science because the very nature of homo sapiens is that he - she - is an inquisitive species. You can't control science. You have to control the effects of science.
‐‐ Robert Winston
I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.
‐‐ Bernardo Bertolucci
I don't think you can judge something without seeing it.
‐‐ Sam Taylor-Johnson
I don't think you can lightly paint a picture. It's an activity I take very seriously.
‐‐ Howard Hodgkin
I don't think you can live as long as I have in rock n' roll and not take a few hard knocks.
‐‐ Joe Cocker
I don't think you can look at my history and say they love me to death in Silicon Valley.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
I don't think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you don't discourage something that may be rather nice.
‐‐ Linda Ronstadt
I don't think you can measure your love or your passion for whatever you're working on.
‐‐ Jim Lee
I don't think you can perpetrate war crimes with defensive weapons, with air defense systems.
‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
I don't think you can question your instinct; you should always trust it.
‐‐ Andrea Arnold
I don't think you can read poetry while you're watching television very well.
‐‐ Edward Hirsch
I don't think you can really make television based on what you think audiences want. You can only make stories that you like, because you have to watch it so many times.
‐‐ Dick Wolf
I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.
‐‐ Sophia Bush
I don't think you can rely on Iran. I don't think you can rely on other radicals like the Taliban. They dispatched Al Qaida to bomb New York and Washington. What were they thinking? Were they that stupid? They weren't stupid. There is an irrationality there, and there is madness in this method.
‐‐ Benjamin Netanyahu
I don't think you can replaces great themes. But I think people do want to hear fresh arrangements of them. They don't want to hear them played the same way all the time.
‐‐ Stan Kenton
I don't think you can run around and crash and bang quite the way that I might have done in the past.
‐‐ Eric Lindros
I don't think you can say something is or isn't magic. That's what was cool about Houdini, because he was a magician who had a magic show, but he was also an escape artist, and they kind of, over time, blended together. They both kind of enhance each other, I think.
‐‐ David Blaine
I don't think you can separate a place from its history. I think a place is much more than the bricks and mortar that go into its construction. I think it's more than the accidental topography of the ground it stands on.
‐‐ Alan Moore
I don't think you can set up a computer to do a strike zone on a guy who's 6-foot-5 and then a guy who's 5-8. Where does it draw the line? One guy stands tall, and another squats down, and it changes the lines. Nah. I still love the umpires; they do a great job. I don't have a problem with any of that.
‐‐ Johnny Bench
I don't think you can sing about certain things when you're a teen-ager or in your early 20s, because you haven't lived long enough. So I think living gives you character and that comes out in your voice.
‐‐ Tom Jones
I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.
‐‐ Liz Phair
I don't think you can talk about progress in art - movement, but not progress. You can speak of a point on a line for the purpose of locating things, but it's a horizontal line, not a vertical one.
‐‐ Donald Barthelme
I don't think you can teach people how to be funny. You can make suggestions about how to speak a line or get a laugh, but it has to be in them.
‐‐ George Cukor
I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.
‐‐ A. N. Wilson
I don't think you can totally judge a girl based on her circle of friends and loved ones, but I think it's nice to see where she's spending her time.
‐‐ Blair Redford
I don't think you can underestimate how much carers need some support.
‐‐ Phyllis Logan
I don't think you can work on feelings in politics, apart from anything else, political change can come very unexpectedly, sometimes overnight when you least expect it.
‐‐ Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think you can write according to a set of rules and laws; every writer is so different.
‐‐ Kiran Desai
I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
‐‐ Nora Roberts
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
‐‐ Leonard Cohen
