If I could have a special power in real life I'd love to fly.
If I could do one thing over I'd have been nicer to my parents.
My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
If I could ever be on a Missy Elliott record, I could then die. Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige - I love hearing them interviewed, I love the way they talk about their art. They're very self-assured, they're funny, they're inviting. I love it.
I thought comedy would be the hardest thing I could do, and if I could do that, I could do anything.
I could name you a dozen superheroes whose powers I'd like to have. But if I could have any power in the world, it would be the power to read or watch a creative work and absorb the technical skill of the people who made it. Because then I could have even more fun writing. That's my core identity. I'm a writer. I just love telling stories.
I think I'll be fine in New York. If I could stay here and just get jobs in New York, that would be fine and that's what I'd want to do. I don't want to move.
I'd give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
If I could do anything over, I'd have spent more time with my first set of children. I would have taken more quality time with them, for sure.
I have a beautiful pair of Giuseppe Zanotti black pumps that make me feel like a model every time I put them on. I have a pair of Jimmy Choo flats I would marry, if I could.
It would be wonderful if I could see the end of civilization during my lifetime.
In my relations with my father, which are difficult and where I'm often met by coolness and indifference, I am constantly tempted to be cold and indifferent. Yet I know that this is a test if I could take it rightly.
If I could find anything blacker than black, I'd use it.
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life.
If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things.
If I could change anything, I would definitely have had a father around. My father. I would definitely say it affected me deeply as a young man, coming up. Who doesn't want a father? Those are the beginnings, and those are what can dictate the roads you choose in life, and choosing them well.
If I could sing, I wouldn't be a guitarist.
Yes, I love white, and I'd wear it all the time if I could. Some people think I have an issue with cleanliness, but to me it's just so pretty.
If I could get my membership fee back, I'd resign from the human race.
I don't know if this is the kind of retrospective analysis that people are fond of applying to their work or actions, but it feels like I knew I was going to be famous and I knew that an element of that would be traumatic, so that if I could make myself something big and otherworldly, it would be a kind of defence.

Even though I was dealing with all of these health issues, I was still doing well during my season. It wasn't the best season, but it was consistent. And I figured if I could be this consistent when I'm not my best, what happens when I get better, where could I be? So I wanted to see what I would be like on the other side.
When I was 16, I was doing what was popular. If I could go back, I would tell myself to not be afraid to be alone and not to follow others so much.
I'm sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids.
I never dye my own hair, I don't know if I could get every spot, and I have a good bit of grey.
I didn't know if I had the music for it or if I could pull off the larger concert experience. Then I realized if I can just continue to be myself, I'll be all right.
My father and mother - I figured if I could make them laugh, they'd stop fighting. I stole all their material.
I felt that if I could make the world better for the young, that would be the greatest thing we can do.
If I could steal someone's dream myself, I'd have to go for one of Orson Welles.
Obviously, if I could go back and change anything, I would be a perfect man. And I know there's no perfect man.
Writing songs helped me figure out how to communicate with other people. I finally figured out that if I could express something in a song, I could probably express it in my real life, too.
