Don’t try to be somebody you’re not because it doesn’t work. If you try to be this perfect person or perfect persona of what you think that somebody should be when they’re involved in public office, it’s just not going to work. Just be yourself, stay true to your core values, and really just stay abreast of the issues.
I always try to be nice. I never want to be that person that anyone perceives as being rude or disrespectful, ’cause that’s not me at all.
I don’t try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That’s nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
I try to look at problems very clearly and think, ‘How do we get out of this? What will work? What will be the consequences for the people involved?’
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

As a defender I try to keep clean sheets.
When I’m off the road, and I can really control my diet down to the calorie, I juice seven days a week. Every afternoon, whatever I have at hand, beets, carrots, ginger, whatever. I juice, literally, every single day. And on the road, I try to find fresh juice wherever I can.
I can’t stand being late. I try to be professional. I try not to let people down. But people let me down. That’s why I don’t rely on anyone to call me. That’s why I have clocks as well as people. I have to be able to call myself; it’s the only way to be sure.
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
The company without a strategy is willing to try anything.

I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn’t try to run their lives.
Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I’m hitting the bags and jumping rope – all that stuff.
You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you’re incapable of… If you think you’re incapable of running a company, make that your aim… Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.
It’s challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise.
It’s kind of a rule of thumb for me to self-doubt going into any kind of project. I always think that I shouldn’t be doing it and I don’t know how to do it and I’m going to fail and that I fooled them. I always try to find a way out.
When I am shooting, I am inside the theatre, when I am in the editing room, I am inside the theatre. I always try to feel what they will feel. I see a film, not as a director, but as the audience. If I am entertained, they will be, too.
In order to keep my creativity alive, I just try to enjoy life to the fullest.
I try my best to keep my feet on the floor and stay humble and let my ability do the talking.
I’m just smart enough to know what it is I don’t know and try to learn as I go along and accept that you’re going to make mistakes, and there are going to be things that are not going to be perfect.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
For me, I like to be different. I didn’t want to imitate another wrestler. I always try to find something from other genres, like movies, books, art, and musicals. That’s how I made my style.
Stand-up comedy and comedy in general is the ultimate form of free speech, because you get to poke holes in all the pretentious bubbles politicians and pundits and popes and pretenders try to float over our heads.
We try really hard to avoid those conventional experiences, these adrenaline rush, anger, competition, violence. We intentionally avoid that. We try to create a game that’s serene and tranquil and filled with love.
You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it’s the right thing to do out there.
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.
Somebody said they threw their copy of Dungeons and Dragons into the fire, and it screamed. It’s a game! The magic spells in it are as real as the gold. Try retiring on that stuff.

I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters – to make them personalities.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
Nobody’s perfect, everybody is flawed in a way, and to recognize your own flaws and to just enjoy them is something that I try to do for myself. I do that all the time.
If something’s important enough, you should try. Even if – the probable outcome is failure.
If I play a villain, I try to find his lightness and his good side. And if I play a hero or a good guy, I’ll try to find his darkness or his flaws. Because I don’t believe in good and evil. I believe in grays.
The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
I’m looking to try to do more out there and just taking advantage of the opportunities that I’ve been given.
When you snatch little pieces of other people’s lives and try to palm them off as your own, that’s more disgusting than anything. Robin Williams is a huge thief. Denis Leary is a huge thief. His whole stand-up career is based on Bill Hicks, a brilliant guy who died years ago.
The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive.
I surround myself with positive, happy people. And I always try to balance things that I have to do with things that I want to do.
I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I’m really good at email.
You can’t suppress the things that make us human. It’s pointless to try.
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.
Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.
As far as the constitution allows me, I will try to ensure that there is responsible and accountable governance at all levels of government in the country. For I will not have kept my own trust with the Nigerian people if I allow others abuse theirs under my watch.
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That’s truly about the game, and in some ways that’s about life too.
I think that if you live long enough, you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control, but how you respond to it is in your control. That’s what I try to remember.
Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they’re trying to say with jazz. You don’t need any prologues, you just play.
Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.
I do everything in my power to promote positivity however and whenever I can; and, constructively and softly, try to encourage tweens and teens that if they want to be part of a dialogue on my social platforms, there is an expectation that they do so with poise and respect.
Women don’t try to use me.
I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.
As long as inequality and other social problems plague us, populists will try to exploit them.
Each goal, each win, going to different buildings, the rivalries, the excitement – it is something. I try to catch myself, you know, in the warm-ups, when you’re on the line and the anthem and you get to some milestones and stuff. It’s such a neat experience.
I keep wondering how to explain the experience of child abuse from the inside. I’m going to try to explain what my world was like when I was sexually abused. The thing you have to remember is that this was the thinking of a child.
If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.
