There's no such thing as coulda, shoulda, or woulda. If you shoulda and coulda, you woulda done it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know it's easy to say you shouldn't do something and then something happens and you say, 'Wow, I wish I would have done something.'
The things I could have done had Hollywood been more open? I don't dwell on coulda-woulda-shoulda. Because, hey, I've had a great career.
I have known many who could not when they would, for they had not done it when they could.
If it's what you do and you can do it, then you do it.
In society, we have these unspoken rules of conduct, these 'shoulds.' Even though we pride ourselves on being a democracy, there are all these ways we say you 'should' behave. But what if you're living your life by the 'shoulds' and you're not really living your life?
There's nothing I would do differently, no wishing I had done this or done that.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
It's a hard life... but if I could, I would do it all again.
Everything happens kind of the way it's supposed to happen, and we just watch it unfold. And you can't control it. Looking back, you can't say, 'I should've... ' You didn't, and had you, the outcome would have been different.
In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved, and this cannot be worked out from, 'If I do this, what will happen?' alone.
