I can dance. I like hip hop and stuff and jazz movements, but I'm horrible in ballet. I tried.

Keke Palmer

When I started out, I was very vociferously against theatre or what I saw theatre as being, so I tried to make my plays the opposite of that - something a bit more cinematic. I'm a film kid, so I'll never have the same love of theatre as I do of movies. It's just the way I was brought up.

Travis Barker

I can't even remember how many times I tried to kill myself.

I tried to copy some of his mannerisms at first but it didn't work. And then I just let the spirit of the character grow in me and it just took its rightful place. I started to speak the lines and it felt right.

I never made it on 'Castle.' I tried a few times, so I don't know, but it never worked out.

I don't play the bass. I'm not in a band. I tried to think of ways I could touch base with the troops and support what we're doing.

With 'All Is Song,' I tried to construct a very traditional narrative that pulls no tricks.

When my first husband died, what I tried to do is to sort of, you know, try to bring some rationale to the circumstance and think about worse circumstances, and also open the door to what other women experienced when all of a sudden they were left alone. And particularly if they had children.

Olympia Snowe

At the end of the program, I tried to talk to the kids a little bit about life skills.

My team and I tried cashing checks at check-cashing places and paying bills by money order. It's incredibly inconvenient and time-consuming - it's practically a part-time job just to manage and move your money.

I kind of - I like my life; I feel I have lots of opportunities. And my parents actually having had such high expectations for me - I would say it's the greatest gift that anyone has ever given me. I complained a lot when I was little, but that's how I feel now. And that's why I tried to do the same with my two daughters.
