If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic.
‐‐ Paul Lynde
If I hadn't become a golfer, I doubt I'd be wealthy, because I don't have the sort of ego that drives a person all day long. I might have wound up driving a tractor.
‐‐ Fuzzy Zoeller

‐‐ Mary Ellen Mark
If I hadn't become an actor, I would've pursued a race-car driving career.

If I hadn't been a model, I couldn't have become a movie actress.

‐‐ Annie Lennox
If I hadn't been a woman, I'd be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I'd be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I'd be like Ru Paul.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
If I hadn't been able to get my first book published, I am not sure what I would have done.
‐‐ Sara Sheridan
If I hadn't been an actor, I probably would have been a social worker.
‐‐ Pierce Brosnan

‐‐ Claire Danes
If I hadn't been born a woman, I would have certainly been gay.
‐‐ Dorothy Hamill
If I hadn't been fair, I would never have made the $6 billion in real estate deals that I did. I mean, if you're not fair, people don't want to deal with you.
‐‐ Jerry Reinsdorf

If I hadn't got into comedy, I wouldn't have met Abbey, my wife, and I wouldn't have my two girls, and the whole thing unravels. That's the thing about being basically - whisper it quietly - happy, is that you don't really want to change anything, because once you start changing stuff, then what you've got all disappears.
‐‐ Robert Webb
If I hadn't had a baby, a part of me thinks I might have turned up on the red carpets all the time and gone, 'Hi, it's me!' Maybe other people do it because they haven't got kids and they've nowhere else to be. But because I have, I don't feel like that.
‐‐ Catherine Tate
If I hadn't had a childhood career, I probably would've signed a contract with the first person I came across.

‐‐ James Hetfield
If I hadn't had that decade in the music industry and, perhaps more importantly, time to reach the point of being sick and disgusted with it, I wouldn't have written 'Kill Your Friends.' That book gave me my whole career.
‐‐ John Niven
If I hadn't had the experience of being famous, I would have searched for it my whole life. I would have just gone on and on trying to find it.
‐‐ Matthew Perry

If I hadn't learned to lay on a two-hander once in a while, I'd never have left Flin Flon.
‐‐ Bobby Clarke
If I hadn't left Czechoslovakia, I would have been dead.
‐‐ Tom Stoppard
If I hadn't left South Africa, I felt I was at risk of being pigeonholed. I looked around and saw actors who, 10 to 15 years into their careers, were still playing stereotypical Afrikaans characters, stereotyped Indian characters. That was not something that I wanted for myself.
‐‐ Adhir Kalyan
If I hadn't left Texas, I might not have met the director Terrence Malick, and I wouldn't have met my husband and I wouldn't have had the children that I've had. Life is interesting like that.
‐‐ Sissy Spacek
If I hadn't read all of Jane Austen and DH Lawrence, Tolstoy and Proust, as well as the more fun stuff, I wouldn't know how to break bad news, how to sympathise, how to be a friend or a lover, because I wouldn't have any idea what was going on in anybody else's mind.
‐‐ Sebastian Faulks
If I hadn't spent many years trying to be as compassionate as Mother Teresa, as positive a thinker as W. Clement Stone, as prolific a writer as Stephen King, and as good a speaker as many of the legends I have studied, I would not be as successful as I am today.
‐‐ Jack Canfield
If I hadn't started painting, I would have raised chickens.
‐‐ Grandma Moses
If I hadn't turned out to be a filmmaker, I would have been a musician.
‐‐ Bahman Ghobadi
If I hadn't won at the Worlds and claimed so many ranking points, I would have been struggling for Rio. I'm in a good place now, though, and having the chance to fight for gold in Rio after everything I've been through would be a dream.
‐‐ Bianca Walkden
If I hammer my own thumb while doing some DIY, it's not nice, but it's not the end of the world. To care obsessively about similar levels of discomfort in animals seems to be a case of mistaken moral priorities.
‐‐ Julian Baggini
If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I'd probably move back to Louisiana. I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There's no traffic like there is in L.A. It's really nice.
‐‐ Britney Spears
If I have 1% of my dad's brain, I'll be happy. He's so quick.
‐‐ Tamara Ecclestone
If I have a 100 percent batting average, you should fire me, because it means we haven't tried anything really noble.
‐‐ Larry Brilliant
If I have a 12 or 14 hour workday, I am home the next. I cut out anything that is frivolous or doesn't need to be done.

If I have a bad hair day, I just think, 'Well, it will be an OK hair day tomorrow. Just put your head down and go.'
‐‐ Mitt Romney
If I have a big shoot coming up, I do low-carb, no red meat, and earlier dinners. And I just tell myself that sure, maybe I cannot eat all the things I'd love to today. But there are many more days in the week, and that perfect bite will come when I'm done with whatever shoot.
‐‐ Chrissy Teigen
If I have a bunch of computer lingo that I have no idea what I'm speaking about, I really need to know what I'm talking about.
