This is embarrassing and personal, but once a month, since I was twelve years old, I go to my favorite jewelry store and try on my dream ring.
When you try to build a team, you need a mix of talent.
I try to eat healthy, but being Belgian, I'm also addicted to chocolate.
My daughters are both funny and smart and lots of fun. They play lacrosse, soccer, musical instruments, like to cook with me, and are naturals in the swimming pool. Honestly, though, what I like doing most with them is eating. I've worked really hard to make sure they are willing to try all sorts of different foods.
I won't even try to predict the specifics, but I think the ebook - as a medium - could be a game-changer.
I've been singing since I was 12. And I think that all the information is finally starting to chill out. And I don't have to be fancy. I can just kind of do things and simplify things and try to be the best singer I can be.
My natural accent is American. I chose to speak with a U.K. accent when I was about to enter the final year at drama school in London. I was going to try to find a way to stay in the U.K. after I finished college and could not imagine trying to live and get work there with an American accent.
It was the winter of war, in 1939. It felt completely pointless to try to create pictures... I suddenly felt an urge to write down something that was to begin with 'Once upon a time.'
I try to eat right. Every three hours, small portions. It helps to keep you fit.
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
When I start to get that few pounds, which I try to monitor, then I just pull back. So it's really just being conscious.
We write when the time comes, and we try to be exciting, and stuff that excites us usually makes the record.
I wouldn't want to even try to begin to describe our customer, as I think she likes a certain amount of anonymity. I try to offer clothes that allow that. I myself do not like being defined so readily, so I imagine that she is similar?
Film is drama. You've only two hours, so you lie by exclusion, and try to make up for it by portraying the environment.
I try to stay off Twitter.
I always try to look for the hidden face of the character, the hidden face that we all have.
Probably more than anybody else, I loved Nat 'King' Cole as a performer - not only his singing but his piano playing. Whenever he had a new record come out, I'd get it and try to learn how he was playing. And he was one of the nicest people I'd ever met.
I'm a proud Dominican American. My folks always taught me that it's important to keep the ladder down and that to whom much is given, much is expected. That's why I have pursued a career in public service. I can't think of a better way to give back what this nation gave to us than to try to make sure that opportunity exists for everyone.
Very often, I recognize many, many defects, so I try to improve myself every day. I think my voice is very communicative.
I don't really try to get involved politically by giving money to politicians or by saying I'm a Democrat or Republican. Right now, I just view myself as an American.
Mostly I have to try to censor myself so as not to write things that will hurt other people, or that will go too far.
The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, 'I'm not interested,' or you're unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don't understand that, and I think it's rude. You're at Grandma's house, you eat what Grandma serves you.
I am on the power toothbrush train and I'm asking people to try to using an Oral B power toothbrush. I just started using one and I cannot believe that I waited this long to use a power toothbrush. It's so much easier than using a manual toothbrush.
I try to get over to Iraq and Afghanistan as much as I can.
I have an office full of product from brands trying to be in videos and an inbox full of songs from artists, but at the end of the day if the artist doesn't support the brand or it doesn't make sense for the song, then it will never work. What we do is try to pair them up so that both sides are happy.
I was taught from a very early age that it was probably the most American thing you can do is to question what's going on and to try to fix things that you see that aren't right. I believed that as a young person, and I believe that today.
I don't go, 'It is now time to change Americans' perception of Muslims. It's going to be a long day.' I think you just try to be unique and try to be yourself, and if something good comes of that, then great.
Personally, I would counsel any woman who asked, in my family, to do her best to carry the child full term, and I'd try to help. But I do believe the government should not prohibit a woman from making that decision.
Cooking at home is easier than cooking in the restaurant because you don't have to write a menu or try to please everybody.
I always try to design fashion that is interesting and innovative, and I like to break traditions and challenge people's expectations.
I think that high school themes are replayed over and over throughout your life, and you try to pretend that it's a phase and that once you're out of high school it's over, but I don't think that's true.
I'd actually quite like to try working behind a bar for a while. I'd give that a go.
I think it's so exciting to try anything you possibly can.
When I'm in the car and somebody comes on the radio singing the high notes, I try to sing along.
I have a very eclectic iPod. So I've got my cardio people - so it's anything from Beyonce to some Jay-Z to Janelle Monae, her song 'Tightrope,' that's a good cardio song. And then I've got Sting. I've got Mary J. Blige. I've got The Beatles. I've got Michael Jackson. I try to pick the songs that I personally love.
My approach with actors is to try and give them whatever it is they need from me. Direction to me is about listening and responding and realizing how much they need to know from me and how much they have figured out for themselves, really.
