If you live your life as a hostage to everybody else's decision, you either have to live a very narrow life, or you have to spend a lot of time in pain.
‐‐ Newt Gingrich
If you lived in a provincial town like Torre Annunziata, where there was nothing to do in the evening but go to the movies with your friends, the cinema was a world of fantasy. I had always been in love with it.
‐‐ Dino De Laurentiis
If you lived next door to me and didn't know what I did, you wouldn't know I was a celebrity. I don't have that lifestyle, nor do I want that lifestyle. I want to know that I can have a separate life with my wife and my kids and just be normal and go camping and fishing and outdoor stuff.
‐‐ Bill Engvall
If you lived the doubles, as I did, which was very stressful, you are sitting down in a chair experiencing a match without being able to hold a racquet in your hands.
‐‐ Guy Forget
If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything.
‐‐ Sam Mendes
If you'll think about various series you've read, can you think of any instance in which, say, the tenth volume of the series is notably better than the first nine? I can't.
‐‐ Thomas Perry
If you lock me in the room with a piano teacher for a year I might be able to knock out a rendition of 'Roll Out The Barrel,' but will I ever be a concert pianist? No.
‐‐ Alan Sugar
If you look a little punkish, then they're going to give you the parts. And if you play an iconic villain early on in your career, you tend to get asked to play one over and over and over again.
‐‐ Malcolm McDowell
If you look across the valley, you can see exactly what I mean: about four beautiful houses, and you think something is happening in each of them. It's like a mural.
‐‐ Jilly Cooper
If you look around at the people in show business today they are basically the people who didn't give up.
‐‐ Brent Spiner

‐‐ Nick Cave
If you look around the table and you can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.
‐‐ Paul Scofield
If you look around the world, the countries with the best environmental practices are the wealthiest. There's a reason for that. If you're worried about where your next meal is going to come from or shelter over your head, your focus is on those things.
‐‐ John S. Watson
If you look around, there are very few really super quarterbacks. There are just very few. If you're lucky enough to have one, lucky enough that one of these Andrew Lucks is available when you have the top pick, then that's just a matter of luck. You can't attribute that to anything else.
‐‐ Bob McNair
If you look around us, there are an awful lot of men out there, and women, but mostly men, who believe that they have got a fast-track path to Heaven, if they do the things that they believe God is telling them to do, and I don't just mean Islamic people. I mean Fundamentalist Christians.
‐‐ James Purefoy
If you look around world, the great brands are Real Madrid, Manchester United. The Yankees, the Cowboys and the Lakers are there. We should aspire with the Maple Leafs to be there.
‐‐ Tim Leiweke
If you look at 1983, the film of the year was 'Terms of Endearment.' 'Scarface' was lumped in under the gratuitously violent banner. I mean, we knew it was violent, that it depicted a violent time and place. But it wasn't the end-all of the thing.
‐‐ Steven Bauer
If you look at 2009, why did the recovery happen? Recovery happened because somebody in the world's largest economy opened the tap: the U.S., followed by Europe and now Japan.
‐‐ Uday Kotak

If you look at a lot of people's careers, the first couple of movies, usually, are the most embarrassing.
‐‐ Michael Ealy
If you look at a lot of the songs I've been involved in, there's always been this retro vibe. I started getting worried that I wasn't moving forward very much, nor was I even in tune with the music today. I almost scoffed at it.
‐‐ Nate Ruess
If you look at a magazine and something catches your eye, are you not going to open it up to see what's inside?
‐‐ Summer Altice
If you look at a map, you see that Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. It's 17 hours of straight flying from London. It's very far away, and sometimes you feel as if you're on another planet. But I like that. Also, that's ideal for writing.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
If you look at a multi-player game, it's the people who are playing the game who are often more valuable than all of the animations and models and game logic that's associated with it.
‐‐ Gabe Newell
If you look at a painting that you love by one of the great masters, every time you go back to it, you see something different - a different attitude or brushstroke. 'Hamlet' is like an entire gallery of old masters.
‐‐ Rory Kinnear
If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.
‐‐ Herb Alpert
If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.
‐‐ Amy Heckerling

If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.
‐‐ Patrick Chan
If you look at all the technology we're interconnected with every day, all this complex technology that connects humanity, it actually doesn't connect us.
‐‐ Chris Milk
If you look at all the vampires in the past, they were sort of decrepit old men. Stephanie Meyers just made it for a new audience. All the vampires are now young men and she describes them as not being ugly.
‐‐ Daniel Cudmore
If you look at America, one of the great strengths of America is its university towns and the way a lot of their businesses and a lot of their innovation and enormous economic growth have come from reducing that gap, getting those universities directly involved in start-up businesses, green field businesses, new development businesses.
‐‐ Denis Napthine

‐‐ Stefan Molyneux
If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.
‐‐ Jacques Audiard
If you look at an illuminated manuscript, even today, it just blows your mind. For them, without all the clutter and inputs that we have, it must have been even more extraordinary.
‐‐ Geraldine Brooks
If you look at any 15 pieces of mine, nobody does a piece like them. Totally new techniques. All the jugglers are stealing from me and claiming that they've done it.
‐‐ Michael Moschen
If you look at any ancient civilization, they've all used fantasy stories to train the young.
‐‐ David Gemmell
If you look at any kind of modern organization and you think, 'What are the foremost tools of power?' You will find that it is information.

If you look at any leaf on any tree branch, it's similar to but not exactly a repetition of the previous branch.

‐‐ Charles Jencks
If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it's a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.
‐‐ Christopher Hitchens
If you look at any of the big companies, whether it is IBM or L'Oreal, they have a corporate religion and corporate self-image that makes it very difficult for them to execute in different areas.
‐‐ Sandra Lerner
If you look at any other group of people suffering injustice, women are always in the worst situation within that group.
‐‐ Salma Hayek
If you look at any successful skit comedy show, ever, there is that format of introducing you to the player in the beginning, and then going on to see those sketches.
‐‐ Keegan-Michael Key
If you look at any superior athlete, you will find a strong parental influence. Parents introduce their children to a sport, and then they support them.
‐‐ Ivan Lendl
If you look at anybody who's had along career, if you look at the choices they've made - even if the movies haven't worked - they've always worked with great filmmakers.
‐‐ Bradley Cooper
If you look at anyone at the top of their profession, there has to be something a little bit different. Some of the top musicians are quirky aren't they, to say the least. You have to be driven, cold, hard and mentally tough as iron. My missus thinks I'm a bit weird.
‐‐ Michael Owen
If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win.
