You could go out with a camcorder tomorrow and make a movie with virtually no money, but promoting a tiny low-budget movie costs $20 million. And the money they spend on the big movies is astronomical.
‐‐ Amy Heckerling
You could go so wrong with a 'Planet of the Apes' reboot; you could make it melodramatic, you could make it campy, you could fall into so many traps with it.
‐‐ Andy Serkis
You could go to Estonia and there's probably an episode of 'Seinfeld' playing there. Television is a very powerful thing.
‐‐ Yul Vazquez
You could have 50 different states having 50 different regulations... until they were all litigated out.
‐‐ Antonin Scalia
You could have a zillion Facebook followers. Those people don't buy records. It's about a hundred to one...Record companies, they don't have any money, so they see social media as the free marketing... So... 'Billy, light yourself on fire and stand upside down, and that'll market the record.'
‐‐ Billy Corgan
You could have all the tools in the world, but if you really don't want to be there, or if there's something that's off course that's playing on your mind... the game of golf is so mental, and if you don't have everything in the right order, it's very difficult to win golf tournaments.
‐‐ Jason Day
You could have another downgrade. You could certainly have a stock market reaction that would be negative. And, I think nobody who looks at it objectively would want to happen.
‐‐ Rob Portman
You could have everything right but be in the wrong place. You think your business is no good, but really, the problem is your place is no good.
‐‐ Fred DeLuca
You could have names like Hatred; you could have names that mean something like Suffering or Poverty. So names are not just names: names have real meaning, and they tend to tell the world about the circumstances of your parents at the time that you were born.
‐‐ Petina Gappah
You could have ten scientists in this room. You could ask them all: 'Who's religious?' About three to four will put their hands up.
‐‐ Ridley Scott
You could have the bases loaded, and you bring up the best pinch-hitter in the world to pinch hit, he hits into a double play, and then all of a sudden: 'How could you do that?'
‐‐ Joe Torre
You could have the biggest screen, you could have the clearest screen. But if there is not great content on this thing, that big-screen TV is not a huge value to you, even though it has the best picture on the planet.
‐‐ Brian Krzanich
You could have two completely different careers if you could stay healthy to 90. How fascinating that would be.
‐‐ Cynthia Kenyon
You could hear him, literally, half a mile away when he opened up. He was at his peak then. He was, naturally, dying to get out of the place he was in, and he recorded for us his appeal for pardon to the governor.
‐‐ Alan Lomax
You could imagine a language exactly like English except it doesn't have connectives like 'and' that allow you to make longer expressions. An infant learning truncated English would have no idea about this: They would just pick it up as they would standard English.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
‐‐ Ray Liotta
You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there'd be something funny about it to me.
‐‐ Chevy Chase
You could literally be perfect and people would still hate you, for being perfect.
‐‐ Ryan Lochte
You could live in Winnipeg a thousand years and not meet Ringo, Paul McCartney, or Bob Dylan.
‐‐ Burton Cummings
You could look at people in India and say we are manufacturing the cabin that is going to be a part of the U.S. President's helicopter. That's a pretty big deal, right? There are 11 other heads of state who we support, but the fact is, to me, it's a very large deal.
‐‐ Louis R. Chenevert
You could look at something a hundred times from space, but the next time you come around the world, suddenly it's very different and gorgeous-looking, just because of the change of weather or the angle of the sun.
‐‐ Chris Hadfield
You could lose hundreds or thousands one day on paper and gain it all back the next, and it has literally no effect on your immediate future, provided the money you have in the market is money you're investing for the long haul (meaning at least three to five years).
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
You could make a film out of just about anything so long as there is a clear vision about the story.
‐‐ Duncan Jones
You could make the most beautiful film, and that weekend it's raining too hard on the East Coast, and no one goes out. Artists should have a chance to do it again. That's the challenge: Women artists don't get a second chance. People-of-color artists don't get a second chance. You're put in director's jail, and that's a wrap.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
You could mention my name in any hallway in any academic institution and you would have people foaming at the mouth.
‐‐ David Horowitz
You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch. That's where the great talent is.
‐‐ Ernst Lubitsch
You could never hide yourself in these places - in Mies's Farnsworth house, for example. That was a mistake of Modernism. People need places to hide from each other, too. You need everything.
‐‐ Ben van Berkel
You could not buy a house in those days without just assuming that the house was not only a place to live, but it was a good investment, because it was going to keep up with inflation or get ahead of inflation, and it was just - that was America.
‐‐ Paul A. Volcker
You could not even pay anyone to say something bad about Bill.
‐‐ Brandon Cruz
You could not have evolved a complex system like a city or an organism - with an enormous number of components - without the emergence of laws that constrain their behavior in order for them to be resilient.
‐‐ Geoffrey West
You could not receive a young man in your room; you might be permitted to have him to tea in one of the public reception rooms, but you could accept no invitation from young men to tea or other entertainment without a chaperone from the College.
‐‐ Dora Russell
You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
‐‐ Heraclitus
You could pack for a trip to Europe with the bags under my eyes!
‐‐ Natalie Morales
You could play the blues like it was a lonesome thing - it was a feeling. The blues is nothing but a story... The verses which are sung in the blues is a true story, what people are doing... what they all went through. It's not just a song, see?
‐‐ David Edwards
You could play well and still lose.
‐‐ Retief Goosen
You could power America with renewables from a technical and economic standpoint. The biggest obstacles are social and political - what you need is the will to do it.
‐‐ Mark Z. Jacobson
You could probably go three or four months without the word 'God' coming from my dad's mouth; Mum would pray for a parking space.
‐‐ Laurence Fox
You could put all of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's angry sermons on to one loop. You could put that loop up on the big screen at Radio City Music Hall and let it play there 24 hours a day, seven days a week and Barack Obama will still emerge as the next president of the United States.
‐‐ Gary David Goldberg
You could put all the talent I had into your left eye and still not suffer from impaired vision.
‐‐ Veronica Lake
You could put me on a stage in front of 100 people, and I could do a tap dance, but one-on-one was really difficult for me. And it took me most of my life to learn how to work with that anxiety, to embrace and be comfortable with it.
‐‐ Brie Larson
You could put me on any track. I support that one million percent. Whatever the track is, I'm going to smash it. Believe that.
‐‐ Busta Rhymes
You could put on monkeys jumping up and down and get bigger numbers than MSNBC.
‐‐ Bill O'Reilly
You could put this record on and not get jarred half-way through. I wanted it to be all cut from one cloth, and that was the way we took it through the whole production process.
‐‐ Jules Shear
You could read Kant by yourself, if you wanted; but you must share a joke with some one else.
‐‐ Robert Louis Stevenson
You could run harder, longer. If the workout was four 200s really, really fast, they wouldn't seem as hard as before. You could cut the rest down from five minutes to three. That's a big difference.
‐‐ Kelli White
You could say I'm a bit of a nomad.
‐‐ Poppy Delevingne
You could say I'm a character actress. Or maybe a character actress who does peculiar, interesting lead roles. Does that make sense?
‐‐ Imelda Staunton
You could say I'm a mod, but with a small 'm'; I don't wear a parka, but I do question what I wear and what I listen to, which is what it's all about.
‐‐ Martin Freeman
You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.
