If I go out one night, I must stay in the next. It's the same with my golf. If I play one day, I don't play the next. I try to pace myself.
I immediately felt the need, back when I was a managing tech engineer, to attach myself to Nat Turner. And to research him and learn about him and try to find ways into his life that I could apply to my life.
First there's my role just as an executive being responsible for advertising, regardless of gender. I think that's a position that I take seriously. That's the first role. But I think for my role as a woman at Google, you try to set a good example and be a role model for the other women in the organization.
If I see something that's extremely challenging, I'm like, 'That seems really hard. Let's try it.' It's just my personality.
I've slipped on occasion into the realm of irresponsible invective, but I try to avoid it and generally recant when I fall short. Because name-calling does nothing to improve understanding or move the political debate forward.
I try, and I think I succeed, in making my readers feel pity for my psychopaths, because I do.
You can plan physically to try to win the Tour, but I could never plan for what was going to happen after it.
In my introductory course, Anthropology 160, the Forms of Folklore, I try to show the students what the major and minor genres of folklore are, and how they can be analyzed.
What I'd like to do is try as many different ways of working as possible. That's what I'm looking to do - collaborate with as many different directors.
All you can do is just make the most of what you've got. You try to make the most of where you are to get back to where it is that you want to be.
I'm going to go away on vacation, I'm going to try to get away from the phone, away from scripts. I think it's important to sit back and think about what you want.
I just try to write the best story I can, a story I would love to read, and hope that readers feel the same.
I try to live my life free of regrets, but I do have one style regret that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Mum used to dress my brother and me in bright neon bike pants and big baggy t-shirts that were so long you could barely see our bike pants.
I would love to do something dramatic. I don't know if anybody will ever give me the chance, but I would love to try it. I'm trained in acting and spent many years working on it, so it's just a matter of opportunity.
When you are racing in an able-bodied competition, you're all equal and you go out there and try your best, and that's what counts.
I gave myself until I turned 25 to make it. And if it didn't happen, I thought I'd just try to find a nice husband.
If you really want something, it's nerve-racking, but at the same time, I try not to stress myself out about it too much because there are also so many arbitrary things that go into being cast for something - you know, like the color of your eyes, all these things that are kind of out of my control.
Vince or Brad or Benicio would say, Maybe we should try this, and Guy was open to changes.
We were born and we die. In between, I think we try to live as best we can.
I had a ukulele when I was much younger. I have no idea what happened to it but I think that was part of it, just being inspired and wanting to try to play an instrument that, to me, sounded beautiful.
I was a wild, mischievous kid, and I had tremendous imagination. Any experience I had, I'd try to reenact it.
I try to keep everything under wraps. Everything I can do to make sure people don't know what they're getting themselves into, I will do it.
Talking with other parents really gave me some lessons that I try to hold on to now, as a parent of two boys.
It's good training for a novelist to try to discern the truth about a place after only a few glimpses of it.
I am involved in Greenpeace. And I just recently completely switched my diet over to near-veganism. So you try to do little things that you can. I recycle every single day. Every single thing in my house that can be recycled is.
I am never happy with what I do, so I try not to watch stuff that is filmed with me in it because I am always like, 'Oh, I could have done that a little bit better,' or, 'I could have done that differently - that riff could have been a little better.'
I'm very lucky that I started out as a reader of the comic book and a viewer of the show. And I try to remain that, and make 'The Walking Dead' that I love watching. Luckily, I have the source material that I love, and I want to serve that as well.
I have to understand what my strengths and limitations are, and work from a true place. I try to do this as best I can while still protecting my writer self, which more than ever needs privacy.
Sometimes it's important to get out of that comfort zone and, I think, try new things, and sometimes you can express yourself better.
I try to motivate people and inspire them, to let them know that they're not alone.
I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say.
So it's really hard for a horn player to comp. But I'm totally into trying to switch those paradigms around and find a little magic space where that works, and try to mine that.
The capability of negotiating... is something that means you not only have to understand fully what you believe and what your national interests are but in order to be a really good negotiator, you have to try to figure out what the other person on the other side of the table has in mind.
That certainly is one approach to take. My own is to acknowledge the inner child and try to work with my first fascination with science fiction. I have tried to build on its idea content and narrative drive rather than to discard them.
I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
I try not to make snap judgments. I never, ever make conclusions about products I've never tried.
