I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
‐‐ Budd Schulberg
I could have had my husband put me on a lot of TV shows every day, but I chose not to. I am a serious businesswoman. I don't enjoy being out there on TV; it's not what I do well.
‐‐ Jennifer Flavin
I could have had someone else take care of my child but I did it because that was my moral obligation and also it was a joy and I felt it was in the best interests of the child.
‐‐ Gloria Allred
I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.
‐‐ Nicky Hilton
I could have lived anywhere in the world now if I wanted to.
‐‐ Arundhati Roy
I could have lived off all the male careers in my family. Everybody was always getting ovations, but I was in the wings.
‐‐ Talia Shire
I could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers, but I finally chose politics.
‐‐ Francois Hollande
I could have made a lot of money doing 'Golden Girls,' and I would have been good. But the image of it! And for me to work with Betty White every day would be like taking cyanide.
‐‐ Elaine Stritch
I could have made a small film and kept all the money from 'Life is Beautiful'. Instead, I spent more money than I had on 'Pinocchio', a very risky film.
‐‐ Roberto Benigni
I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.
‐‐ Richard Stallman
I could have played another year, but I would have been playing for the money, and baseball deserves better than that.
‐‐ George Brett
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
‐‐ Don Henley
I could have possibly beaten Senator McCain in the primary. Then I could have been the candidate who lost to Barack Obama.
‐‐ Mitt Romney
I could have probably been just as successful by not going to college, but it was the most intellectually stimulating environment that I was ever in.
‐‐ Fabrice Grinda
I could have probably built a great career in management consulting, but one of the insights that I had early on is that just because you're good at something doesn't mean that you should continue to do it. Somewhere in my heart of hearts I knew it wasn't what I wanted to do.
‐‐ Imran Amed
I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot, so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more, trying to prolong their youth.
‐‐ Jennie Garth
I could have seen myself going into academia, but I don't love it; I just like it.
‐‐ Mira Sorvino
I could have sexual chemistry with vinegar.
‐‐ Jessica Alba
I could have stayed in L.A. and done sitcoms for awhile and will probably go back and do one I hope.
‐‐ Andrea Martin
I could have taken the easy life and just done classical, but I felt very strongly about the album, my first pop album, the first time that I'd fused so many influences. I was very proud when it was in the charts in 25 countries at once.
‐‐ Vanessa Mae
I could have worse tags than 'Airmiles Andy' - although I don't know what they are.
‐‐ Prince Andrew
I could hear and feel music going on in me, and I couldn't get it out. You can always depend on a guitar.
‐‐ Don Johnson
I could hear music playing in the background of works by certain authors, like Poe and Shakespeare. And I discovered Nikki Giovanni when I was in eighth grade. Her writing has a musical energy with pulse and rhythm, almost like jazz or hip-hop.
‐‐ Jill Scott
I could hear my friends outside playing soccer while I was expected to stay inside practicing the piano. It was like torture!
‐‐ Ildar Abdrazakov
I could hit the damn ball. No matter who was throwing. Or where the ball was. I left the bench swinging. I didn't get many walks.
‐‐ Billy Herman
I could hold on to everything for the rest of my life. I don't make friends easy, and I don't lose friends easy.
‐‐ Dito Montiel
I could hum Beatles songs before I could talk - not very well, but sort of.
‐‐ Taylor Momsen
I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels, but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it.
‐‐ Colin Baker
I could imagine at a certain age, when I have no vocal cords left, that I would find a young man who could sing my parts for me. But I don't see why I would stop.
‐‐ David Bowie
I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.
‐‐ Marissa Mayer
I could imagine that boats sailing in harbors will only use electric engines. And then once they are out in the water they will use diesel.
‐‐ Henrik Fisker
I could jump, I was quick, I could catch and all those types of things, but when it came to just flat out speed, that's something I had to work really hard at.
‐‐ Troy Brown
I could just go to the horse races and take lovely holidays, but I have some strong views, and I want to make a difference.
‐‐ Zac Goldsmith
I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.
‐‐ Mia Hamm
I could just sit back and get someone to spin my achievements, I suppose, but when I see others do it, I always think, 'Why are you telling me how successful you are?' I am always suspicious of those kinds of boasts.
‐‐ Simon Cowell
I could keep trying to do the same kind of comedies. You know how it's going to go, and you can get an audience with it, but then I feel like a hamster on a wheel.
‐‐ Vince Vaughn
I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.
‐‐ Barry Bonds
I could lie and pretend that I hunt and camp, but that wouldn't be me. Clothes? Shopping? That's stuff I like!
‐‐ Ryan Seacrest
I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.
‐‐ Shah Rukh Khan
I could lie and tell you I'm a hardcore gamer - I'm not.
‐‐ Josie Maran
I could list hundreds of words I've come up against in the course of my work that did not exist in the era of which I was writing and for which I never could find a suitably old-time, archaic or obsolete substitute.
‐‐ Gary Jennings
I could listen to the radio and I had access to books from time to time. Not all the time.
‐‐ Aung San Suu Kyi
I could live a normal life. My motivation is only to take on new challenges.
‐‐ Holly Madison
I could live a thousand years and still not know everything, still not have tried anything.
‐‐ Cam Gigandet
I could live anywhere in the world I want. But Los Angeles is the place to live.
‐‐ Eli Broad
I could live in a sari; I was born to wear a sari.
‐‐ Vidya Balan
I could live in Target clothes forever.
‐‐ Georgina Bloomberg
I could live my whole life being so comfortable doing things I've already worked hard to not be nervous at, or I could continue to push the envelope and make myself uncomfortable and learn and see what I'm capable of, and acting is definitely that.
‐‐ Ruby Rose
I could live naked... I love it.
‐‐ Olivier Theyskens
I could live on challah bread, the Jewish kosher bread, quite happily.
‐‐ Dan Aykroyd
