I wouldn't describe that 'position' as 'parasitic.' I'd describe that experience as 'edifying.' I don't merely write from a critical intellectual distance. I actually live around here.
‐‐ Bruce Sterling
I wouldn't discount the possibility that the Israelis would act if they came to the conclusion that basically the world was prepared to live with Iran with nuclear weapons. They certainly have the capability by themselves to set back the Iranian nuclear program.
‐‐ Dennis Ross
I wouldn't do a film like 'The Dirty Picture.' I have a husband and kids, and I won't be able to do justice to such a role. You need a certain mentality and ease to carry such a character.
‐‐ Kajol
I wouldn't do a project if it weren't a story I wanted to tell. That's rewarding in itself, as a writer, if you're working on a story that you enjoy telling.
‐‐ Stephen Schwartz
I wouldn't do go to another band.
‐‐ John Deacon
I wouldn't do just a tour, it would have to be an album, and the album would have to beat Pull.
‐‐ Kip Winger
I wouldn't do nudity in films. For me, personally... To act with my clothes on is a performance; to act with my clothes off is a documentary.
‐‐ Julia Roberts
I wouldn't do the music thing if it weren't for my brother, who's a producer. He understands me and helps my vision come to life.
‐‐ Debby Ryan
I wouldn't dream of selling my work. I give them to friends, to charities.
‐‐ Rod Taylor
I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.
‐‐ Kate Winslet
I wouldn't eat a hamburger for 40,000 dollars.
‐‐ River Phoenix
I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start.
‐‐ Anne McCaffrey
I wouldn't even begin to presume that the talent of an able actor is anything like the talents of a prodigious musician.
‐‐ Juliet Stevenson
I wouldn't even dare read the Torah, let alone attempt a witty observation on the Torah.
‐‐ Charles Grodin
I wouldn't even dare to sing like Ed Sheeran.
‐‐ Richard C. Armitage
I wouldn't even get elected. I'd probably deck a couple of people, too which would not play very well with the national media.
‐‐ Tim Robbins
I wouldn't even go into the history of the last days of the Soviet Union, the withdrawal from Europe, and what promises were given at that time, because those were oral promises, and our leaders of that time strongly believe that, like in ancient Russia, a word given is better than any treaty.
‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
I wouldn't even have braces on my teeth. I think they are horrible and this idea that everyone should conform and be perfect is ridiculous.
‐‐ Georgia Jagger
I wouldn't even hold my kids sometimes because I didn't want them to spit up on me when I was dressed for an awards show.
‐‐ Lauryn Hill
I wouldn't even know - and I spent three years in the CIA - I wouldn't even know how you'd start a covert action program in a place like Iran. It would be extraordinarily difficult.
‐‐ Frank Carlucci
I wouldn't even mention myself in the same breath as someone like big Paul.
‐‐ Kenny Cunningham
I wouldn't ever do a radio edit because I feel like it would totally go against the point of 'Follow Your Arrow.' I just think you're going to like it or not like it.
‐‐ Kacey Musgraves
I wouldn't ever give myself the label bisexual, but bi-curious, yeah.
‐‐ Adam Lambert
I wouldn't ever presume to say that I am a comic book fan.
‐‐ Ray Stevenson
I wouldn't ever say if you're having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.
‐‐ Joel Osteen
I wouldn't ever set out to hurt anyone deliberately unless it was, you know, important - like a league game or something.
‐‐ Dick Butkus
I wouldn't exactly call it 'cooking' but I can make noodles. That means I can boil water, put the pasta in and wait until it's done.
‐‐ Devon Werkheiser
I wouldn't exactly describe 'Detention' as a horror movie. I mean, it does have horror elements in it, but it's got a lot more to it, and it's not a typical horror movie.
‐‐ Shanley Caswell
I wouldn't feel comfortable talking to someone I didn't know very well and, beyond that person, a readership of X millions, about things I think are private.
‐‐ Natasha Little
I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.
‐‐ Joaquin Phoenix
I wouldn't get nearly as many books written if I lived in New York. The Columbia Gorge is fantastic. When the sun shines, I just want to be outdoors.
‐‐ Chuck Palahniuk
I wouldn't give up my career for somebody. The most important thing to me is my work, and reaching people through my work. It's so important to me. It's my passion.
‐‐ Adelaide Kane
I wouldn't go back and be 25 again for all the tea in China.
‐‐ Minnie Driver
I wouldn't go back and change anything.
‐‐ Charlie Simpson
I wouldn't go back on my old days, though; everybody needs to have their wild years. It's just a question of when and I'd rather have had them early than be doing it as a mid-life crisis type thing.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.
‐‐ Saoirse Ronan
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
‐‐ Cass McCombs
I wouldn't go out of my way to experience the indignity of middle-age just because it might be good meat for a story.
‐‐ Roddy Doyle
I wouldn't go so far as to make 'You Don't Own Me' a tango or 'It's My Party' a hip-hop thing. Believe me, those things have been suggested to me. But I thought if I could stay true to the song, the arrangements would work. I'm really enjoying singing them.
‐‐ Lesley Gore
I wouldn't go so far to say that destiny preserves me. I managed to survive and to succeed.
‐‐ Ariel Sharon
I wouldn't go up on a stage now if you paid a thousand dollars for one minute of acting. It's a nasty experience. You're up there all by yourself. You're so damn exposed.
‐‐ Elia Kazan
I wouldn't have a No. 1 record or song if I wasn't a hardworking person.
‐‐ Kesha
I wouldn't have become an engineer, I wouldn't have done what I did, had a hand not been held out to me. I have to remember who helped me when I needed help. The people of Jamaica helped me. I can't forget that. I would be ungrateful if I forgot.
‐‐ Michael Lee-Chin
I wouldn't have been able to go to drama school when I was 19. I don't think I was even conscious of life... I was like a zombie. But when I finished uni' I just realised... just go and do it, stop being a knob.
‐‐ Claire Foy
I wouldn't have been able to move to L.A. if I felt I was going to lose my identity as a New Jerseyian. My accent has gotten thicker since I've lived here.
‐‐ Gerard Way
I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.
‐‐ Loretta Lynn
I wouldn't have expected an audience of ours to burn down our equipment.
‐‐ Paul Kantner
I wouldn't have gone to a Division I school if I didn't have scholarship help. We couldn't afford it.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
I wouldn't have launched 'Sharp Daily' without smartphones. Frankly, there's no reason for me to start another newspaper - it's a dying industry. But the smartphone is changing everything.
‐‐ Jimmy Lai
I wouldn't have made it past the first round of American Idol auditions. It was months before our first song was recorded. The guys were like, 'Just seeng!' And I was like, 'I don't know how to seeng! Can't I just play the triangle?'
‐‐ Malin Akerman
