You don’t always just have to do an indie movie to feel like you’re controlling it with a few people that you really have connected with, creatively. You can do it on a bigger scale. – Kristen Stewart
What the Internet offers is this completely unfiltered transmission of thought to thought, of psyche to psyche, and whatever you’re feeling, you can just sort of put it down and send it out there, and you can do it all in the confines of your room, without any actual contact. – James Lasdun
I always swore I would never write a book. But I read Clare Balding’s and it was really interesting and so prettily written and lovely and not too revealing. I went to her book launch and met her editor who said ‘why don’t you think about it? You can do it however you want, based on your characters or you.’ – Jennifer Saunders
I was a late bloomer, but I had a career as a contemporary dancer before that, so I had some kind of connection to this world. But I was always a little more in love with the drama of dancing than the aesthetics, so I thought, ‘Why don’t you give it a chance if you think you can do it a little different?’ – Mads Mikkelsen
We often grow up being told that we can do this or that, but if you don’t see anybody that looks like you doing it, you don’t believe you can do it. But I had great teachers, and I wanted to be a great teacher. – Jesse Williams
I find you can lose yourself in an acting sense in a fight far more easily than you can in a dialogue scene, and I love that about it. We try as actors all the time: we strive just to completely sort of lose ourselves in the moment, and we never quite get there, but in a fight, you can do it in seconds; that is what I love about it. – Kit Harington
At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It’s a cliche, but it’s underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable. – Leonard Cohen
To have been the first woman premier of Victoria was not only a great opportunity but also a great chance to say to the young women of Victoria – Liberal or Labor – ‘You can do it, too.’ – Joan Kirner
I have always been small and one of the smallest heptathletes out there. And earlier in my career, I was faced with coaches and athletes who felt I was too small to be a multi-eventer. It gives you a push to show you can do it. – Jessica Ennis-Hill
I used to think no one should go into show biz, but now I feel differently. I now feel like it’s a great career. If you can do it and make money at it and still not be so famous that you can have a normal life – then I think it’s a great career. – Julia Sweeney
It is harder to get adult, character-driven material on television than it used to be, but there are lots of other places that you can go to sell it. If you can do it for basic cable or pay cable, we have those outlets. – John Wells
I cannot save the world; that’s not what I’m trying to do. I guess I’m just trying to walk the walk and be an example to those that want it. Not everybody does, but if Mary J. Blige can come out of that same hole you were in, then you can do it, too – that’s my goal: to do that without saying it, but actually live it. – Mary J. Blige
I love yoga, and I love circuit training where you can do five exercises, 15-20 reps of each exercise, and I do it five times in a row – it only takes twenty minutes, and you can do it anywhere. You feel instantly better. – Jessica Lowndes
America is built around this premise that you can do it, and there are an awful lot of people who are unlikely to have done it who did. – Michael Bloomberg
Auditioning is a horrible experience because you know you are being absolutely scrutinized and judged. There are days where you can do it and days where it’s just not happening, and I feel like that’s how it is with all artists; you have some days it kind of works. – Kelly Reilly
I love to create interesting textures with language. You can do it as long as it seems like a discovery. – Robert Morgan
This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to win Wimbledon, is by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that’s what I was able to do today. – Roger Federer
I try to stay in the best physical shape that I can because I do most of my own stunts. It looks amazing if you can do it, but I don’t advocate it because you always get injured. – Raymond Cruz
You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination. – Ralph Marston
I’ve done that kind of stuff in records, where you start going back and you want to just redo everything, destroy everything, because you think it all sucks and you can do it better. – Regina Spektor
I always found the dramatic side of things easier than the comedy, because there’s so many ways to do comedy, and it’s also subjective. Someone might not laugh at what you do, whereas if you’re going to do a dramatic scene, there’s usually only one way you can do it. – Rhys Thomas
I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because it’s not about you. You are a terminal for a higher power. As soon as you accept that, you can do it forever. – Quincy Jones
Highlight reels are about that one person. After a barrage of highlight reels, you get the sense that you can do it without a team. But music thrived the most when groups were involved. People lose sight of that – that community makes the world run. – Questlove

The heart of the matter seems to me to be the direct interaction between one’s making a poem in English and a poem in the language that one understands and values. I don’t see how you can do it otherwise. – Robert Fitzgerald
Making movies is eating candy. It’s a very expensive candy, so you value when you can do it. So when you can do it twice at once, it’s like, you know, a kid in a candy store! – Phillip Noyce
