When I'm working on a novel of my own, I try to read mostly nonfiction, although sometimes I break down and peek at something else.
I will not programme generic orchestrations but try to find original ones - when I play Richard Rodgers songs, for example, I have Peggy Lee's original orchestrations that I got from her granddaughter for them.
A lot of players try to buy penalties, and sometimes defenders can't do a lot about it.
Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.
To play meaningful games and try and win a division, a pennant, a World Series, that's what it's all about. That's the thing I'm most proud of.
As the times change, people change, and so do their tastes, so I try to understand what the public wants, what they require. I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.
Acting is something I always wanted to try after wrestling, and I felt like this was a perfect fit.
My daughter and I have this thing we call a PMA: 'perfect moment alert.' I try to really notice when we're having a PMA.
I think, as human beings, we try to hide our flaws and try to present this perfect person, this person we wish we were, to our spouse when that causes so many troubles.
In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.
I have to say that I've always believed perfectionism is more of a disease than a quality. I do try to go with the flow but I can't let go.
I think all musicians have at one time or another experienced one physical problem or another. I have had tendinitis a couple of times, so I try to be really careful. It takes patience and persistence to overcome injury.
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
All I can say is, I don't talk about the personal stuff. It's the one thing you can keep to yourself. At least you try to.
I think the motive is to establish in federal law the personhood from conception forward and try and alter the Constitution through statute.
I am persuaded that the chief reason why we do not enjoy religion is that we do not try to enjoy it.
I try to be a realist and not a pessimist or an optimist.
Every so often, when I am feeling plucky, I try to write a screenplay that combines all 10 of Americans' top phobias and market it as a sleeper hit.
My phobias worsen as I get older. I'm scared of flying, driving. I'm terrified of sharks. I'm a germaphobe. But I try to face my fears; I do. Well, most of them.
