If you go all the way back, I've always written science-fiction, I've always written fantasy, I've always written horror stories and monster stories, right from the beginning of my career. I've always moved back and forth between the genres. I don't really recognise that there's a significant difference between them in some senses.

If you go and stop people at a supermarket and ask them for their receipt and say, 'Hey how much did you just spend?' middle class shoppers have no idea. The poor know what they just spent.

If you go and talk to most people, they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education, of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say, 'Oh, well that must be true.'

If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home.

If you go around being afraid, you're never going to enjoy life. You have only one chance, so you've got to have fun.

If you go around the kitchen and ask my employees what they want to be doing in three to five years, most of them, if they're being honest, will tell you that they don't want to be working for me. They want to have their own place. And I think that's great.

If you go away on location for three months and your wife stays at home, you've made a whole new load of friends and she's made a whole new load of friends and you get home and you're kind of strangers.
‐‐ Michael Caine
If you go away with, you know, a girlfriend, wife, whatever, you have an argument on holiday because you're not used to spending that much time with people.
‐‐ Karl Pilkington
If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
‐‐ Elon Musk
If you go back all the way to the 1920s, filmmakers in Hollywood changed the identity of villains from German to Russian.
‐‐ Evan Osnos
If you go back and look, a completely underrated film is 'Quest for Fire.' That was one of the most genius, simplistic but incredibly sophisticated notion of what it was. The evolution of that was just fantastic.
‐‐ Ridley Scott
If you go back and look at President Reagan's speeches, they bring you to tears almost.
‐‐ Lawrence Bender
If you go back and look at the early promos for Gears 1, you'll see just how different the characters were from the actual first game, both in appearance and background. And it's an evolutionary process.
‐‐ Karen Traviss
If you go back and watch 'The French Connection,' it's been cannibalized so many times. There are certain movies like that, where you see the original and think, 'This isn't so great.' And the reason it isn't so great is because everyone has copied it.
‐‐ Adam McKay
If you go back far enough and get a wider enough picture of history, we have let go of many things that follow a religious narrative. We don't burn witches anymore. Most people would consider that barbaric. We don't sacrifice human beings, which was a religious act practiced by numerous cultures on this planet.
‐‐ Greg Graffin
If you go back in American history, oysters were the food of poor people. New York was filled with oyster saloons in the 1800s.
‐‐ Ruth Reichl
If you go back in time you'll find tribes that were essentially only concerned with their own tribal members. If you were a member of another tribe, you could be killed with impunity.
‐‐ Peter Singer
If you go back, 'The Great Gatsby' would be a portrait of the rich and fortune made by business.
‐‐ Robert Harris
If you go back to 1800, everybody was poor. I mean everybody. The Industrial Revolution kicked in, and a lot of countries benefited, but by no means everyone.
‐‐ Bill Gates
If you go back to 2001, the market had two violent short covering rallies then, although I know the market didn't officially get going until March 2003.
‐‐ Louis Navellier
If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
If you go back to any period in India's history, all the hard decisions this country had to take were taken when the Congress was in power.
‐‐ P. Chidambaram
If you go back to 'Pretty Fly,' it was a very popish song, but there was a satirical side to it, and I think that's cool. I like the idea that it's making people think just a little bit.
‐‐ Dexter Holland
If you go back to, say, the Brothers Grimm or Roald Dahl, you see so much darkness in children's material.
‐‐ Evangeline Lilly
If you go back to the 17th century, scientists generally weren't rewarded much at all for sharing discoveries, and as a result, they conducted a lot of their research very, very secretively indeed.
‐‐ Michael Nielsen
If you go back to the '50s and '60s... there was zero tech in S.F. It was all in the Valley... and it crept northward in early 2000s.
‐‐ Mitch Kapor
If you go back to the Conan the Barbarian series, I really liked that.
‐‐ Andre Braugher
If you go back to the early days of aviation, the guys designing it built it, and then they got in it and flew it. I mean, who does that anymore?
‐‐ Graham Hawkes
If you go back to the first single-cell form of life, it clearly possessed the capacity to receive, to utilize, to store, to transform, and to transmit information.
‐‐ Dee Hock
If you go back to the Greeks and Romans, they talk about all three - wine, food, and art - as a way of enhancing life.
‐‐ Robert Mondavi
If you go back to the history of the 'Madden' game, I was probably on the cover of it half the time. So if I was to believe there was a curse, I would also have to believe I'd been cursed. And I've never had that feeling.
‐‐ John Madden
If you go back to the time of J.P. Morgan, the world of high finance was completely wholesale. The prestigious investment banks on Wall Street appealed exclusively to large corporations, governments, and to extremely wealthy individuals.
‐‐ Ron Chernow
If you go deeper and deeper into your own heart, you'll be living in a world with less fear, isolation and loneliness.
‐‐ Sharon Salzberg
If you go down as a comedian's comedian, that's basically meaning other comedians are hopefully feeling that you're doing okay.
‐‐ Eddie Izzard
If you go down through the horizon of a black hole, at the center you don't find a tunnel that leads you to some other place in the universe.
‐‐ Kip Thorne
If you go far enough back, your genome connects you with bacteria, butterflies, and barracuda - the great chain of being linked together through DNA.
‐‐ Spencer Wells
If you go for an audition, you have a character description, and for the women, it's always about being beautiful, sexy. And for the men it's more about the character than how he appears physically. That annoys me.
‐‐ Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
If you go forward in the spirit of the original apostles and followers of Jesus Christ, trusting not in man but in the living God, he will enable you to pull down the strong holds of sin and Satan, and that work by which he is pleased will prosper in your hands.
‐‐ Adam Clarke
If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.
‐‐ Bridget Moynahan
If you go in and audition for roles rather than just be offered them, then you kind of get a chance to kind of discover that you can do something that you didn't think you could do.
‐‐ Peter Sarsgaard
If you go into a bank or a shop and you want them to believe that you're going to shoot them, that's an acting exercise. If you want to turn to someone else who's as tooled up as you are and persuade them to put their knife down because you'll use your knife, that's an acting exercise. Nine out of 10 delinquents are frustrated actors.
‐‐ Peter Mullan
If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you'll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry.
‐‐ Jim Jarmusch
If you go into a relationship expecting someone else to fill you up, you're doomed right off.
‐‐ Jennifer O'Neill
If you go into a relationship when you're 16, you've got no baggage.
‐‐ Daphne Guinness
If you go into an underground train in London - probably anywhere, but chiefly in London - there's that sense of almost entering a ghostly dimension. People are very still and quiet; they don't exchange many pleasantries.
‐‐ Seamus Heaney
If you go into any physics lab, everybody is depressed and feels isolated. We don't get any feedback that anybody cares about what we're doing.
‐‐ Aaron D. O'Connell
If you go into science, I think you better go in with a dream that maybe you, too, will get a Nobel Prize. It's not that I went in and I thought I was very bright and I was going to get one, but I'll confess, you know, I knew what it was.
‐‐ James D. Watson
If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will leave you alone.
‐‐ Ernie Pyle
If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.
