~By Ryan Gosling ~
That song is a story that shows how easily you could get slipped into being labeled as the bad guy, even though what you really trying to do is tell the bad guy to leave you alone.
~By Slick Rick ~
I do know one thing: I wish people were doing more dangerous musicals, more courageous musicals and not just falling into the trap of trying to figure out what the public wants, because you find out that the public very often wants what's good.

The process of composition, messing around with paragraphs and trying to make really good prose, is hardwired into my personality.
~By Rick Moody ~
The stated mission at the time was simply to use the influence of the entertainment industry to do an accurate portrayal of drug and alcohol abuse. We all admit that we're not trying to censor anybody.
~By Gerald McRaney ~
It's rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.
~By Jim Garrison ~
I was surrounded by nature and trying to come to terms with this blissful nature versus the inhumane mentality of war. People were being deluded by someone using the word peace.
~By Thurston Moore ~
We're trying to build a platform utilizing the Internet that allows the good American people to speak out about their frustration about the polarized country that we live in politically.
~By Hamilton Jordan ~
Ever since I came to Congress in 1992, there are those who have been trying to silence my voice. I've been told to "sit down and shut up" over and over again. Well, I won't sit down and I won't shut up until the full and unvarnished truth is placed before the American people.
~By Cynthia McKinney ~
There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.
~By Francis Bacon ~

~By Bob Woodward ~
The commentary track became a lot like the movie and there are some funny, long, awkward pauses that you can tell we're just trying to find stuff to say. None of us had gotten to really talk about the movie until that moment and they were in New York and we were in L.A.
~By Jay Roach ~
Now, Tim has been really, really busy, and it's been my job now to kind of deal with everything. And trying to figure out how we balance that, logistically it's a nightmare. But these little jobs make it much easier.

~By Lindsey Shaw ~
I don't have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, 'I can't process it' well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?
~By Charlie Sheen ~
The voices on the record, that was trying to treat my voice like guitar players treat guitar tones.
~By Gary Cherone ~
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.
~By Gavin DeGraw ~
You feel the music needs something but you don't know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that's frustrating, especially if you don't come up with something for three days.
~By Beth Gibbons ~
I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!
~By Grey DeLisle ~
I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.
~By Travis Barker ~
I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.

~By Vin Diesel ~
Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!
~By Garth Brooks ~
Trying to take money out of politics is like trying to take jumping out of basketball.
~By Bill Bradley ~
I'm very wary of large groups of people getting together and trying to believe the same thing. It never seems to end well, whether it's political or religious or whatever.
~By Peter Krause ~
It's no good trying to keep up old friendships. It's painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it.
~By W. Somerset Maugham ~
When I was coming up, we weren't trying to get a hit or get paid, we were just trying to do our thing. The only thing we were really trying to do was to be recognized for our originality.
~By Bootsy Collins ~
Rock and roll doesn't necessarily mean a band. It doesn't mean a singer, and it doesn't mean a lyric, really. It's that question of trying to be immortal.
~By Malcolm Mclaren ~
Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.
~By Laurell K. Hamilton ~

~By Michael Chabon ~
The actor is concerned with his own bit of it, but the director's somehow trying to work the whole thing into a much bigger picture. It's like conducting an orchestra.
~By Roland Joffe ~

~By Bernice Johnson Reagon ~

~By Kathleen Winsor ~
It was a place that is trying to destroy the individual by every means possible; trying to break his spirit, so that he accepts that he is No. 6 and will live there happily as No. 6 for ever after. And this is the one rebel that they can't break.
~By Patrick McGoohan ~
And so about many other things of the same nature, we are trying to make people believe these things, and we make creeds of them; and thus we continue to do our own will, which is the ground of all sin.
~By Elias Hicks ~
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
~By Will Rogers ~
Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun, but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.
~By Michelle Trachtenberg ~
The songs were really complicated. I used to meet people in bar bands who were trying to play our songs and they were really struggling with it. Technically it was really difficult stuff.
~By Kip Winger ~
We started with Denny Cordell, and he was a great record producer. He knew exactly how to take a band that knew absolutely nothing, and guide you without trying to tell you what to do.
~By Benmont Tench ~
What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

~By Mike Krzyzewski ~
Once I start something, I always finish it. They had been trying to get X-Men made for 30 years and they thought maybe if I got involved, it might actually happen.
~By Bryan Singer ~
I was an actor... or, at least, I was trying to be an actor.
~By Richard Donner ~
My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs.
~By Georg Brandes ~
This kind of music was just hitting England, so we were getting this following in clubs in Birmingham just cause we were trying to do something different.
~By Jim Capaldi ~
You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.
~By Jeff Gordon ~
My musical background is like almost every non classical musician in the world. One day a special record was heard and that was it. I was hooked, started trying to play various instruments and was off to bar land to become a rock star. What else?
~By Kevin Johnson ~
Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and no one else trying to hurt America.
~By Van Jones ~
The free man must be born before freedom can be won, and the brotherly man must be born before full brotherhood can be won. It will come into being only if we build it out of our very muscle and bone - by trying to act it out.
~By Barbara Deming ~
We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one.
~By Paul Gillmor ~

~By Ted Danson ~

~By Francois de La Rochefoucauld ~
When the new wave of terrorism came on the modern world, which is the late 1960s, early 1970s, I think we spent about a decade, the United States and our allies, trying to figure out how to deal with it.

I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.
~By Ryan Gosling ~

~By Danielle Steel ~
Good writers are monotonous, like good composers. They keep trying to perfect the one problem they were born to understand.
~By Alberto Moravia ~
Labels don't mean anything to me. I'm trying to play as passionately as I'm able to. If they want to call that cool, that's fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.
~By Lee Konitz ~
I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else.
~By Ray Walston ~

~By Bruce Sterling ~
Central and western Pennsylvania has one of the best workforces in the country and this will provide job training, new skills and additional resources for those trying to find a job.
~By Bill Shuster ~
They don't make you pay for the humor. It's up and down, but they're trying to give you as many laughs as possible in 2 minutes. They are the most honest comedians ever.
~By Mike Judge ~
One of the things that I have learned since trying to bring in an interesting story in under 28 pages is that we already agree on great chunks of typical superhero stories.
~By Bill Williams ~
The gun dealer is not only paying these two police officers, but more importantly, the gun dealer has said he will never again sell more than one gun to a customer. This is exactly what we're trying to get the gun industry across the country to do.
~By Michael D. Barnes ~
Acting is great. You spend your whole life trying to get it right.
~By Stuart Townsend ~
I try to help developing junior chess. When I lived in USSR, I got a lot of free help from very good coaches - now I am trying to repay that debt.
~By Boris Spassky ~

~By Vladimir Kramnik ~
It has been my policy not to respond to each of the many canards which have been part of the campaign to discredit my investigation, nor to waste time trying to prove negatives.
~By Jim Garrison ~
I like trying to win. That's what golf is all about.
~By Jack Nicklaus ~

~By Condoleezza Rice ~
I'm just trying to make a smudge on the collective unconscious.
~By David Letterman ~
I just play, and I'm always trying to write songs.

Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.
~By Oscar Wilde ~
Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar.
~By Xun Zi ~
We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'

We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28 - no Q, no gadgets.
~By Paul Haggis ~
So many of the sounds that contemporary composers were trying to create were to be found in the traditional musics of the world. That was encouraging but also little daunting to think that you had to work so hard to be new and yet it was old.
~By Robert Morris ~
I started trying to write when I was in second or third grade.
~By Margaret Haddix ~
I like playing around with the words; I love it when I feel like I've picked the exact right word to describe whatever it is I'm trying to describe.
~By Margaret Haddix ~
That's why I'm really trying to produce my own stuff. This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn't in control of for my other films.
~By Ted Demme ~
Murrow covered something because it needed coverage. He wasn't trying to get an audience just for the sake of it.
~By Daniel Schorr ~
Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be Revelation.
~By Eileen Caddy ~
