You can call me whatever you want to call me, but I am an American. No one can take that away from me. No, no one can.
‐‐ Jose Antonio Vargas
You can catch a scent in the wind - an idea, or a concept - and follow it. You can delve into your subconscious and see what happens, in a way you just can't when you're writing a novel.
‐‐ Lynn Coady
You can catch me in whatever's funky, whatever's got that swag. If it's got that swag, I'm putting it on.
‐‐ Desiigner
You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?
‐‐ L'Wren Scott
You can certainly extend your adolescence. There's people that are very good at extending it indefinitely.
‐‐ Ben Mendelsohn
You can certainly get an idea of the value of memory if your memories can carry you out into the world no matter how utterly dissatisfied you may be with the present and wish you could get away from it.
‐‐ Rudolf Steiner
You can certainly keep a low public profile if you want to.
‐‐ Rosamund Pike
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
‐‐ Mahatma Gandhi
You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.
‐‐ Dennis Farina
You can change friends but not neighbours.
‐‐ Atal Bihari Vajpayee
You can change my mind, but you gotta work harder at it.
‐‐ Doris Roberts
You can change the circumstances but you can never change man's inner nature.
‐‐ Ron Perlman
You can change the feel of your sofa by adding a thick, cozy throw and playing a couple of classic pillows off a more Moroccan-inspired one.
‐‐ Nate Berkus
You can change the look of an outfit so easily by changing the kind of jewellery you wear. If you have a basic outfit on - a black sweater and skirt or a simple black dress - you can go from the office to a cocktail party at night just by changing your jewellery. It helps if you change your shoes as well.
‐‐ Iris Apfel
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
‐‐ Joel Osteen
You can change yourself and you can change the situation but you absolutely cannot change other people. Only they can do that.
‐‐ Joanna Trollope
You can channel a lot within a comic framework, and I think 'The Guard' had a lot going on outside of the comedy, which is satisfying.
‐‐ Brendan Gleeson
You can choose a direction that will take you into something that isn't going to take you where you want to go, or you can choose another direction which is down the right pathway.
‐‐ Kerry Stokes
You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
‐‐ Barack Obama
You can choose not to sit on the fence. You can choose not to criticise. You must stand as guard at the door of your own mind and choose to be positive.
‐‐ Gail Kelly
You can choose to be very profitable very quickly if you don't want to grow.
‐‐ Sunil Mittal
You can choose to listen to one end of the spectrum or the other on Twitter, just like you can on television. But hopefully what we've done is given a voice to that broad middle ground.
‐‐ Dick Costolo
You can choose your family sometimes. You can choose people, it could be a teacher, it could be a professor, it could be someone you work with that actually genuinely cares about you and wants you to succeed.
‐‐ Nicolas Cage
You can cite me for contempt, Your Honor. I don't care.
‐‐ Jack Kevorkian
You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.
‐‐ Dale Carnegie
You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories.
‐‐ Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
You can coddle your child and tell them, 'You're the best no matter what.' But in the end, when they go out into the real world, I think it's pretty tough out there and other children are cruel.
‐‐ Amy Chua
You can collect all the plastic bottle caps you want as long as you give me the money so we can get off this death trap, find somewhere else and have tremendous fun screwing that up as well.
‐‐ Felix Dennis
You can come to a political position from an emotional place.
‐‐ Mike White
You can compare me with Greta Garbo. I have big feet, too.
‐‐ Lee Remick
You can compel fear. You can even make someone feel they're in love if they're isolated and dependent for long enough. But laughter is free.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
You can compromise between good, better, and best, and you can compromise between bad and worse and terrible. But you can't compromise between good and evil. And now people look at the other side as a completely different kind of animal and say, 'They are taking the country down the road to purgatory.' It's complete intolerance.
‐‐ Gary Ackerman
You can conclude from the glossy surfaces of 'The L Word' that L stands for latte or Lexus and stop there. Or you can notice that in some of its less flashy moments, the show has staked a claim on Large - as in a larger, denser, more ambivalent imaginary world, populated by imperfect and riveting citizens of all sexual stripes.
‐‐ Stacey D'Erasmo
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
‐‐ Dale Carnegie
You can construct the character of a man and his age not only from what he does and says, but from what he fails to say and do.
‐‐ Norman Douglas
You can construct whatever story you want to. Documentaries are constructions, as is all journalism.
‐‐ Tim Hetherington
You can control and censor a child's reading, but you can't control her interpretations; no one can guess how a message that to adults seems banal or ridiculous or outmoded will alter itself and evolve inside the darkness of a child's heart.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
You can control what you put in your body - 100 percent. You really can control your level of fitness and how your body looks.
‐‐ Sara Rue
You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user.
‐‐ Tim Cook
You can convey a lot of emotion with just some eyebrows and mouth movement.
‐‐ Gillian Jacobs
You can cooperate and not compromise your core values. But I'm a realist with the philosophy that sometimes you've got to take bites out of the apple instead of the whole apple.
‐‐ Jason T. Smith
You can count on Errol Flynn, he'll always let you down.
‐‐ David Niven
You can count on one hand the number of Novus Ordo churches in this country that feature a fully Catholic music program of any quality, consistent with the Roman rite tradition.
‐‐ Richard Morris
You can count on one hand the white rappers that have made it. So I just wanted to show the point of view of an actor in Hollywood, because what could be more soft than that. Rapping about auditions and acting and stuff. I thought it was just uncharted territory to clown on, so that pushed through with Dirt Nasty.
‐‐ Simon Rex
You can crash on one set of rocks or the other set of rocks, and they crashed on the other set of rocks, which was probably being too little to be commercially viable.
‐‐ David Talbot
You can create a good impression on yourself by being right, he realizes, but for creating a good impression on others there's nothing to beat being totally and catastrophically wrong.
‐‐ Michael Frayn
You can create some soul out of something that's electronic or mechanical.
‐‐ Brendon Urie
You can create the perfect triceps by just pushing yourself off your wall.
‐‐ Jean-Claude Van Damme
You can criticize any news staff in some ways, but the one thing that you couldn't call the Village Voice staff was a staff of stenographers, taking notes from public figures and just passing them on.
