I have always tried to write in a simple way, using down-to-earth and not abstract words.
There was no one in particular I really tried to copy.
I worked with some wonderful people, tried my best and I feel comfortable.
I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for 'Watchmen.' We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don't miss the commentary about them.
Anybody that thought that I tried to protect the president has forgotten that I asked for the expansion of the Monica Lewinsky matter.
I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life - though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless.
I never wanted to be a statistic. I never wanted to be that cat who tried and never made it.
I find that I've tried to become a better hockey player every year and not just hold on. At the same time, I've also made it a point to increase or grow in some other area of my life. If I were just playing hockey, I would probably be done with the sport.
To know that one has never really tried - that is the only death.
I've never disliked a character I've played. I've always tried to find the humanity and the reasons for what he does.
Mama tried to save us from the streets, but the streets were too strong.
The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.
Throughout the years I have tried to hone my skills to gain mastery over the music in my head.
The faith of the church must be tried by God's word, and not God's word by the church; neither yet my faith.
I'm totally not against plastic surgery. I've tried Botox before. That's the only thing that I've done.
I believe that one of the things I've tried to do is work hard and take the business very seriously.
During the engagement I tried to throw a strong force through the canon, but I was obliged to use it elsewhere before it had gotten to the supposed location of the village.
If you've ever tried to start up the habit of early-morning exercise, you have probably encountered how easy it is to get derailed by too much choice.
Every time I went into the studio some engineer tried to impress me with how they're going to capture my sound with all kinds of tricks. But they limited the sound and never allowed me to play how I felt.
Really, I'm never much of a goal-setter. Whenever I've tried to make big, solid plans, they don't happen. I'm more into whatever the circumstances are that present themselves, making wise decisions around that.
We've never tried to write radio hits. If I hear our song on the radio, it's cool, and I'm proud, but it's never a goal.
For more than 30 years the Islamic regime and its apologists have tried to dismiss women's struggle in Iran as part of a western ploy.
I think I tried to steal a Mars bar once from a shop but then I went and put it back.
The test is to recognize the mistake, admit it and correct it. To have tried to do something and failed is vastly better than to have tried to do nothing and succeeded.
If we tried to write about politics, you'd realize that we're all a bunch of idiots.
I always said life consists of love and work. I tried to balance it 50-50. And, of course, now I'm so happy I did.

I know I lost my temper, but I tried to be human along the way.
In the sequence where I am burned at the stake, everything was so casual and hazardous that the bottom of my dress caught fire, and the grips became hysterical as they tried to pull me off the stake.
I fell in love with the public, the public fell in love with me, and I tried to keep it that way.
One regret I have is that I did not learn more about what was happening very early, so that I could have tried to stop people from engaging in illegal activities.
I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.
The Nationals tried hard to recover the lost ground. The final result, however, was the success of the Forest Citys by a score of 29 to 23 in a nine innings game, twice interrupted by rain.
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
I tried several times to get the song right. The tune and the chords that I started with, there really wasn't anywhere else it could go. I stopped fighting it and let it take me away.
In 1968, the sanitation workers of Memphis tried to form a union. The city resisted. The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to support them. That was where he lost his life.
