Don't try to guess what it is people want and give it to them. Don't ask for a show of hands. Try your best to write what you like, what you think your friends would like and what you think your father would like and then cross your fingers... The most valuable thing you have is your own voice.
I want to appeal to everyone. Because I'm not saying I'm the best, but we the best.

I didn't learn how to swing a golf club until late in my career. And even though I won all those tournaments, I still struggled with consistency, and I relied on my strengths, which were hitting the ball long and high, and I could chip and putt with the best of 'em.
I think to progress in major tournaments and to be at your best, you need a big squad, and you need to rotate it.
As far as I'm concerned, the best acting class is life.
I felt that what you should do is really take the best from each party's agenda and come to a solution somewhere above the positions of each party. So from the Left, take the idea that we need day care and food supplements for people on welfare. From the Right, take the idea that they have to work for a living and that there are time limits.
Giving people some kind of control over what they do is important. Human beings don't do their best work under conditions of control.
Serving my neighbors in Congress and fighting for them has been the best job I've ever had.

At the end of the day, you know yourself best.
New York City is one of the greatest places on the planet. You have the best in food, art, theatre, and definitely people-watching.
On 'Think Like a Man,' they got the best out of me because they allowed me to bring my own cadences and opinions to the character that I was playing. I think we got the best of that particular character.
This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.
I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.
It's the best time ever to be a doctor because you can heal and treat conditions that were untreatable even a few years ago.
I said if I ever conducted, I would always give myself the best chance to succeed - though sometimes, despite everything, you still fail.
I've never seen a tornado and I've lived in Oklahoma City basically my whole life. It's not like we're infested with them on a continual basis. But you learn to live with the warnings. And you learn what to do if one is coming your way. And then you cross your fingers and make the best judgments you can.
I always tell myself that when you're playing a character, pretend they're on trial and you're giving the best witness of their life. You really need to think about every element of the character and represent them properly, as if they were a real person. You want to give 100 percent of what they're worth and what they deserve as people.
I don't have a bunch of mates. I don't have a man cave. My wife and I, we are each other's best friend.
At Burning Man, the audience is the show: the boundaries between stage and public overlap and melt. Every form of self-expression, every fantasy... everything has a place.

The best alpinists are the ones with the worst memories.
We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.

My job as a physician is to make sure I have provided my patients with the best options to make the decisions that affect their lives.
I think that writers are best served by sticking to their writing. Not having loads of theories about the best way to position the writing. I think that if the writing is good and the point of view is strong, the writing is going to take care of itself.
I read reviews and consider myself pretty 'plugged in' to the literary cosmos, yet one of the things I love best about book-touring is the opportunity to compare notes with favorite booksellers around the country. I always come home with books by authors I'd never heard of - or books I've read about but didn't realize I might love.
Want to know the best thing about being a professor? Colored chalk.
Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler and I used to argue for hours about who the best athletes are. I thought football players were better overall.
