Tried Quotes

I had a blog where I tried to be transparent while giving away nothing. I tweeted and Facebooked badly. As a writer, your ‘voice’ is your calling card, yet my voice was becoming indistinguishable from billions of other voices Picture Quote #1

Throughout most of my life, I’ve tried to downplay my Chinese heritage because I wanted so much to be an American. I was the only Asian kid in my elementary school, and I longed to be like everyone else. I insisted on American food; I was embarrassed by my mother’s poor English Picture Quote #1

I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That’s what I try to do all the time Picture Quote #1

There was no way I was going back to school to study anything for another three or four years. I was done with that. So I tried working on other people’s projects, but didn’t find any where I felt I could learn what I needed to learn Picture Quote #1

You’d come in in the morning and put your contact lenses in and they’d put your makeup on. I tried to stay out of the sun, because the more color you had, the more makeup you had to wear, to cover your color Picture Quote #1

Having a sense of humour is really key. You have to have a sense of humour with these things and I’ve just tried to remain who I am. My life has changed. It’s changed in the fact that I don’t have the freedoms I did before, but I’ve also got a huge amount of other freedoms that came along with it Picture Quote #1

The Internet wasn’t even an option for me, so one of the reasons I was so motivated to do street art was because there was no other outlet. Maybe if the Internet had been around then, I would have tried to do stuff that went viral and was clever and got me a lot of hits Picture Quote #1

The Bible improved my ethical IQ. I started to act like a good person. I tried not to gossip, and lie, and covet, and just by pretending I was a good person, I think I actually became a little bit better of a person. I’m not Gandhi or Angelina Jolie, but it was a baby step Picture Quote #1

I should say that I’m not conscious of any particular style or any particular literary device when I am writing. I have written 22 books, and they are all very different. I have tried all kinds of genres Picture Quote #1

I tried to avoid making plays or films that weren’t telling a story that I felt was important. And what I discovered in the process is, it makes you more empathic because you have to enter someone else’s reality and you learn to see through many other people’s eyes Picture Quote #1

My wife has helped me with a lot of things. She’s also got me to like a lot of different things like sushi. I never would have tried that if it weren’t for her. I also went to Hillsong (Church) in New York for the first time with her. It’s fun to experience new things with the person you love Picture Quote #1

There has to be an entry point to learn about myself, or an idea I’ve never tried, because then I can try on a new skin and see the world through a different perspective. If I have that spark, then I’ll save the [music] file Picture Quote #1

We went to America a few times and [Brian] Epstein always tried to waffle on at us about saying nothing about Vietnam.

I grew up bar-singing and saw all kinds of ways people tried to outrun their emotional pain. It doesn’t work. You end up with the original pain, as well as new pain added on top of it from the tactics you used trying to avoid it in the first place. It’s best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it Picture Quote #1

Pride is a thing that I have tried to abandon completely. Try as I might, pride still creeps into many of the things I do Picture Quote #1

Some officials overseeing local water systems have tried to go above and beyond what is legally required. But they have encountered resistance, sometimes from the very residents they are trying to protect, who say that if their water is legal, it must be safe Picture Quote #1

I still believe in the power of forgiveness. I believe in the power of redemption. Today I manned up and tried to accept responsibility for the errors of my ways. And I still believe in the resurrection Picture Quote #1

I’m confident in who I am. I’ve come to a place in my life where I’ve accepted things that are me, as opposed to feeling pressure to explain myself to people around me. That’s just the way I’ve always tried to be. It didn’t change when I became a star Picture Quote #1

Opponents of legal birth control, including abortion, have tried for decades to play the race card, saying that legal abortion is racist. What they ignore is that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. accepted the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966 Picture Quote #1

I’ve never tried to achieve anything. I achieved everything I wanted to achieve by being in the Rolling Stones and making records Picture Quote #1

On past records I usually did start with a story or an idea for a song and then write around it, but on Achilles’ Heel I would just start writing and try to let the song and my sub-conscience determine the direction. which is a goofy way of saying I tried not to decide before hand what the song and or the characters would do and be like Picture Quote #1

I’ve heard people tell me there’s never been a gay character like Agron on TV before, and some fans have even thanked me because they now feel like they have a gay action hero, and it’s very endearing to hear that kind of stuff. But I just played him the way he was and tried to do right by the character Picture Quote #1

Screaming, it’s not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It’s hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I’d rather just listen Picture Quote #1

When I tried to branch out into comedy, I didn’t do very well at it, so I went back to doing what I do naturally well, or what the audience expects from me - action pictures Picture Quote #1

All the history of the stage is a struggle, the gasping of a beautiful child born at the point of death. The moralists, censorship and oppression, technology, and now poverty have all tried to destroy her. Only we, the actors and audiences, have kept her alive Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car Picture Quote #1
