If someone's liver doesn't work, we blame it on the genes; if someone's brain doesn't work properly, we blame the school. It's actually more humane to think of the condition as genetic. For instance, you don't want to say that someone is born unpleasant, but sometimes that might be true.

If someone's lying about something small, you don't know what else they're lying about. I'm a big girl, I can handle the truth - even if it's not good news.

‐‐ Jim Rash
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
‐‐ Gilles Villeneuve
If someone said, 'You can go live in this little town in Costa Rica for a couple of weeks and all you've got to do is sing for us,' I would do that. That's more exciting to me than the prospect of going on some national tour, where you're going to play arenas or sheds every night, because of the crushing repetition of that kind of line.
‐‐ Jackson Browne
If someone said, 'You've got to eat your next two meals at American fast-food restaurants,' I would do one meal at Chipotle and one meal at Popeyes fried chicken.
‐‐ Danny Meyer
If someone saves your life, you develop a brotherhood, no matter what your race.
‐‐ Omar Epps
If someone says, 'Democracy is a sham, those people don't speak for me... the system's rigged,' you say, 'Vote.' Someone says, 'I was making a statement by not voting,' and then you say, 'Well I can't hear it.'
‐‐ Jesse Williams
If someone says 'grunge' or 'punk,' you know what the sound is, but if you say 'No Wave,' it's kind of mysterious. That was the most interesting part and should have been the most inspirational thing about it... here's this collective sonic insanity, and none of it sounds anything alike.
‐‐ Lydia Lunch
If someone says, hey, you know, this long weekend, let's go skydiving - I would say, no, are you nuts? I'd just as soon sit down and have a cup of tea.
‐‐ Rick Mercer
If someone says something unpleasant, I can't say it doesn't smart a bit. It always does. Someone can take a really nasty swipe if they want because it kind of feels powerful for a person to write in a paper and get that thing out there.
‐‐ Annie Lennox
If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it.
‐‐ Murray Gell-Mann
If someone says they're going to ring me at 10 o'clock and it's 10 past and they haven't rung, I'm irritated.
‐‐ Richard Attenborough
If someone says to you, 'Go to an old-folks' home,' that's kind of ridiculous, because a lot of old people are doing terrific things for society.
‐‐ Myron Scholes
If someone says you're a reporter and doesn't want you to anchor then you wonder why you worked so hard at it.
‐‐ Gayle Gardner
If someone stands in front of one of my paintings and says, 'This is just a mess', the word 'just' is not so good, but 'mess' might be right. Why not a mess? If it makes you say, 'Wow, I've never seen anything like that', that's beautiful.
‐‐ Albert Oehlen
If someone starts agreeing with me, I don't like it. Out of pique, I become something else.
‐‐ Alexei Sayle
If someone suddenly lost their director the day before shooting and wanted me to step in, I'd be willing to. But I'd do brain surgery the same way. I'm always up for something new.
‐‐ Carter Burwell
If someone talks about union, fidelity, a monogamous relationship, love, blessing; I would say it sounds like marriage to me. And blessing, you see, I think is undermining our sacrament of marriage.
‐‐ George Carey
If someone tells you he is going to make a 'realistic decision', you immediately understand that he has resolved to do something bad.
‐‐ Mary McCarthy
If someone tells you often enough you're worthless, you start to believe it.
‐‐ Kierston Wareing
If someone tells you something is off the record, I don't print it. If they don't tell me something is off the record, then it's fair game.
‐‐ Michael Hastings
If someone thinks homosexuality is immoral, they have a right to believe that.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
If someone thinks, 'I'll spend the off season working on my fitness and I'll come back a better cricketer,' I don't think that's enough. You need to spend a lot of time working on your skills and honing your skills.
‐‐ Rahul Dravid
If someone thinks I'm posh, it just shows how lowly they are. Some people think I went to Eton. I'm far too stupid to get into Eton.
‐‐ Sebastian Horsley
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
‐‐ John Lennon
If someone throws you in a pool and you can't swim, you're going to struggle.
‐‐ Bernard Sumner
If someone tied me down and made me answer the question, singer, actress, clothing designer, I most likely - it could change on any given day, but mostly likely I would lean towards singing. It's where I feel most like myself - on stage singing.
‐‐ Mandy Moore
If someone told me when I was 16 or 18 years old that I'd be doing a side project with Tony Iommi, I wouldn't have believed it.
‐‐ Peter Steele
If someone tried to take the hierarchy thing too seriously - for example, being lovely to producers but moaning to runners about the tea - that would not be accepted on 'Harry Potter'; someone would pull you aside and have a word.
‐‐ Tom Felton
If someone uses the uniform, whatever uniform, for partisan politics, I am disappointed because I think it does erode that bond of trust we have with the American people.
‐‐ Martin Dempsey
If someone wanted to do a biopic about me, I would like for them to consult my family.
‐‐ Andre Holland
If someone wants to be very tight about authenticity or ownership, it just sounds kind of competitive to me.
‐‐ Savion Glover
If someone wants to eat healthy, they can do that and get the sandwich exactly right. I'm so pleased we're able to influence so many people and their eating habits.
‐‐ Fred DeLuca
If someone wants to employ me, whoever wants to employ me, I'll go and do that. I just want to work.
‐‐ Matthew Lewis
If someone wants to give you, like, $100 million, it's hard to say no. But I don't want to accept that kind of money right now. I'd feel burdened by it.
‐‐ Michelle Wie
If someone wants to marry you outside the temple, whom will you strive to please - God or a mortal? If you insist on a temple marriage, you will be pleasing the Lord and blessing the other party.
‐‐ Ezra Taft Benson
If someone wants to say 'I love you' in a straight play, they say it, and then it's the other person's turn to talk. But in a song, you can sing about it for another three minutes. The musical form has that unique opportunity to express at length what joy really feels like.
‐‐ Marsha Norman
If someone wants to sticker a record for whatever reason, that's fine. But once it affects someone's opportunity to, you know, get that record, then I have a problem with it.
‐‐ Scott Ian
If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of Jenson Button,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.
‐‐ Jenson Button
If someone were to actually come to one of our training sessions, there's lots of flipping and sweating and crying and blood going on all over the place. I mean, if that doesn't qualify it as a sport, then I don't know what does.
‐‐ Meryl Davis
If someone were to ask me before I made the NBA, you going to have to go through all this, you're going to have to sign your soul away to play in the league, I still would have done it.
‐‐ Chris Webber
If someone were to come from another planet and see the world through movies, they'd think that the world was populated by white men in their 30s who shoot a lot.
‐‐ Bonnie Bedelia
If someone were to put a proposition before men bidding them choose, after examination, the best customs in the world, each nation would certainly select its own.
‐‐ Herodotus
If someone were to think that trees are made to support the sky, they would all seem too short.
‐‐ Franz Grillparzer
If someone who is poor says, 'I may not have much money, but for me, what's really important is to have a good television so my family can enjoy and watch,' we should be a little careful and recognize that just like we all have individual liberty to make the choices we want, that we not judge too much on that.
‐‐ Sendhil Mullainathan
If someone who knows what's going on comes up and says they liked the music, I appreciate that.
‐‐ John Lurie
If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I've read it.
‐‐ Dean Koontz
If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn't mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else's bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?
