I Tried Quotes

I don’t like drawing characters facing right. If I tried to do that at a book signing, I’d have to pencil it first Picture Quote #1

One night I had an idea while I was at the movies: to photograph the film itself. I tried to imagine photographing an entire feature film with my camera. I could already picture the projection screen making itself visible as a white rectangle. In my imagination, this would appear as a glowing, white rectangle; it would come forward from the projection surface and illuminate the entire theater. This idea struck me as being very interesting, mysterious, and even religious Picture Quote #1

I tried living as a very nice person, but there’s no need to be nice.. you have to be mean to survive Picture Quote #1

I tried to get as far away from home as possible after I graduated from high school because I had a hard time being a kid Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over Picture Quote #1

In my twenties, I was determined to change the world. In my thirties, I tried to transform the church. In my early forties, I discovered I was the problem Picture Quote #1

I once spoke to a human geneticist who declared that the notion of intelligence was quite meaningless, so I tried calling him unintelligent. He was annoyed, and it did not appease him when I went on to ask how he came to attach such a clear meaning to the notion of lack of intelligence. We never spoke again Picture Quote #1

Everybody wants to feel that you’re writing to a certain demographic because that’s good business, but I’ve never done that... I tried to write stories that would interest me. I’d say, what would I like to read?... I don’t think you can do your best work if you’re writing for somebody else, because you never know what that somebody else really thinks or wants Picture Quote #1

I have no problem being 53. Why would I want to be 35 again? I want to discover who I am in my 50s. And if I tried too hard to look younger, it would seem that I was uncomfortable with who I am, wouldn’t it? Picture Quote #1

I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn Picture Quote #1

At this point, I feel like I can allow myself to be goofy and take more risks, and even if I do fall on my face, I know it’s not the end of the world and at least I tried to do something different Picture Quote #1

I never liked the bar scene. I tried to like it. I would give it a try every three or four months. I’d think, tonight I’m going out. But I never met anybody in that circumstance Picture Quote #1

I was a nervous young man. I wanted to do so many things. And I was so enthusiastic and earnestly in love with so many things that I tried too hard. I tried really, really hard. And I made a lot of mistakes. I was afraid of a lot of stuff. And I kind of feel bad for that person I was Picture Quote #1

There was a perception of me, and I earned it because I was really intense, really gruff. I treated certain people poorly at times. It was because of who I was. It was almost my strength. I came in all business. I tried to find ways to fit in with that demeanor, but it’s not easy Picture Quote #1

I tried once in my life to write a novel. I had written something like 80 pages of it when my laptop got stolen. When I told people this, they acted as if something tragic had happened, but I kind of felt relieved, grateful to the thief who saved me from another year of something that felt more like homework than fun Picture Quote #1

If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it’s the biggest sport in the world Picture Quote #1

I think I tried to control situations within my first marriage and I wasn’t the easiest person to live with Picture Quote #1

My mom was a single mom, and she had enough on her plate. I knew when I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to, and I tried to keep her from finding out about it. I did a pretty good job of that Picture Quote #1

I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn’t work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be a musician from when I was kid. It was always a massive dream of mine. School was also really really important to me and having an education was top of my priority. So I really wanted to have a degree before I tried anything in the music industry Picture Quote #1

I’m the youngest of 12 children. And although I was the youngest, I tried to organize things in my family. When there were disputes, I tried to mediate Picture Quote #1

If I tried to shout over my older brother, my mother told me keep quiet. If I tried to shout over my little sister, my father told me to shut up. I found the best way to be heard was to lower my voice and actually speak when I had something to say Picture Quote #1

In high school, I had to hide my comic book side, my nerd side from the civilian world so they wouldn’t categorize me. They would try to marginalize me for what I like. I tried to give it up, believe me. I tried to kick the habit. But there’s too much I liked about it to give it up completely Picture Quote #1

As soon as I got into music, I tried to be a working, real artist who gets paid for what he does, who doesn’t have a day job Picture Quote #1

I was taught when I was young that if people would only love one another, all would be well with the world. I found when I tried to put that into practice, not only were other people seldom lovable but I wasn’t very lovable myself Picture Quote #1

Do you know that cats can’t wear corsets? They can’t stand! Not at all! They just fall over. I know because I tried! Picture Quote #1

I learnt the lesson on nonviolence from my wife, when I tried to bend her to my will. Her determined resistance to my will on the one hand, and her quiet submission to the suffering my stupidity involved on the other, ultimately made me ashamed of myself and cured me of my stupidity in thinking that I was born to rule over her Picture Quote #1

I tried to dance in my earlier films, but it was more like struggling to stay afloat once you are thrown into the water Picture Quote #1

We always feed our dogs at 5pm. I tried to explain daylight saving to them. They took it pretty ruff Picture Quote #1

Then to deliver the message to the audience is our mission. I tried to imagine, if they killed my family, daughters, I would do anything to protect my family. It’s insane but that’s the situation everybody was in Picture Quote #1
