My role in society, or any artist’s or poet’s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
Don’t let anyone try to tell you who you are. Define yourself.
I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
If I’d been on the Remain side I would have tried to have seen the best in Europe and tried to explain that. Instead, what they’ve done is endlessly try and talk up what they see as the weaknesses of Britain and they aren’t there. That’s a total mistake.
When you have enough understanding and compassion in you, then that amount of understanding and compassion will try to express itself in action. And your practice should help you to cultivate more understanding and compassion.

I see myself out of my own eyes, which means I have no idea what’s going on the other way around. I just think I try to be a good person – and I fail.
Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don’t lose the passion and the love for what you do.
The more colorful the food, the better. I try to add color to my diet, which means vegetables and fruits.
The most important thing, in anything you do, is always trying your hardest, because even if you try your hardest and it’s not as good as you’d hoped, you still have that sense of not letting yourself down.

I just try to be the best I can, but I’m human.
One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
I try not to be too invasive into my personal life. When I was younger, I used to tweet a lot, everything I was doing and feeling. I can’t do that anymore, because it’s just giving people too much room to judge.
I love stories, and as I got older, I realized how important what happened yesterday is to how you try to make your present better.
If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.
I’m really bad with answering questions. Usually, I don’t even answer them. I try to find inspiration inside of the question. I think, and I jump from one beam of inspiration or energy to the next, as opposed to explaining the energy.
Don’t try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough.
I show up ready to play, so I normally try and fit the situation.
I sleep on my stomach with my head under a bunch of pillows so if someone wants to come in and try to kill me they can’t tell if I’m there or not, so they’ll just leave.
I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things, but it’s never at the expense of the other guy.

Your life story would not make a good book. Don’t even try.
Always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.
I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it.
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you’ll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we listen and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life.
Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.

If you try to do your best there is no failure.
Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she’ll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.
Don’t try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can’t be done except by liars.
Try to forget what objects you have before you – a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, ‘Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,’ and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.
Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that’s who you are. Don’t try to be someone that society wants you to be; that’s stupid. So be yourself.
I am constantly struggling to show people that there is more to me than my appearance. You do have to try and overcome those hurdles. Female actresses need to be given the chance to be more than how they look.
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
Instead of minority and majority politics, if we try and give the same rights to all, it is not polarisation. This is the core value of our Constitution.
My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’
If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots!
Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
I don’t think you should try to be anything you’re not. If you’re not smiling all the time or always happy – I don’t think it matters. If you’re having bad day, show you’re having a bad day. Don’t try to put up something that’s fake.
I don’t try to be sexy, but I do want to look as good as I can.
We must guard against disrespectful, disparaging, and criticizing thoughts. We must try to practice reverence and devotion in our thinking at all times.
I remember being in college knowing I didn’t want to go anymore. I wanted to try and become an actor. There is a something in me, with a risk of sounding cliche, that I just had to do it. I knew from an early age that acting was my path.
Do what you say you’re going to do. And try to do it a little better than you said you would.
Everyone goes down a road that they’re not supposed to go down. You can do two things from it. You can keep going down that road and go to a dark place. Or you can turn and go up the hill and go to the top – try to go to the top.
You can’t try to be authentic. You either are or you aren’t.
I think rap music is brought up, gangster rap in particular, as well as video games, every other thing they try to hang the ills of society on as a scapegoat.

‘The Lion’ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’
We try to make our own BTS context. Maybe it’s risky to bring some inspiration from novels from so long ago, but I think it paid off more. It comes through like a gift box for our fans. That’s something you can’t find easily from American artists.
When you meet with someone and you try to assess whether they’re telling you the truth or not, there’s several things you can do. You judge demeanor and credibility. You look at corroboration.
I try as much as possible to take a moment every so often, pause, and enjoy the journey.
Most of us believe, or should believe, that every child can learn, given the opportunity, but try substitute teaching just once and you will see firsthand the socioeconomic issues that distract our kids from taking advantage of that opportunity.
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide.
The trouble with most comedians who try to do satire is that they are essentially brash, noisy and indelicate people who have to use a sledge hammer to smash a butterfly.
It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say.
As far as practicing is concerned, I usually try to do one to two hours a day. It isn’t good to practice too much, or your playing becomes too mechanical.
I’m always down to try a new burger, but Shake Shack is still my top. What makes them so special is for the bread they use Martin’s potato rolls which is just the best hamburger buns ever.
