There are some public figures who are very private and almost hide behind their work. I try to be as open as possible.
What the public hates the most is when they think the politicians aren't listening to them. They understand that we can't solve all their problems with a snap of our fingers, but they sure want us to try because we are public servants.
McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.
I just try to do my best to shoot the puck and we'll see what's going to happen with it.
Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.
Since the Puffy Combs case in New York, I will not try any more criminal cases.
When a producer like Prasad, who knows people's pulse, is ready to try something new, why not me?
I'm the farthest thing from a bibliophile. I purge my collection regularly: If I haven't read a book in a couple of years, I try to give it to someone who will.
At the end of the day, I represent myself first and foremost, and I'm not going to ever purposely try and misrepresent myself.
If I were to try to describe the way in which I write, the only word I would use without qualification is 'slowly.'
I am one of the best to have raced in F1. I am probably not fastest in qualifying, or the wet, but I am 9.5 in all areas. I try to benefit from that.
As children, we have a tenuous idea of love; we often try to quantify it with how much we feel seen and heard.
The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.
There are different types of cornerbacks: you've got your longer guys that will try to get physical with you and use their length, and you've got your quick guys that will try to use their quickness, and then you've got your 'tweener' guys that will try to use both.
It is better to not even try it than to endure the ramifications of either quitting smoking or dying.
I always loved bands who would try to change their sound radically album to album, experiment in one album and revert back in another.
Whenever anyone challenges anything, the powers that be try to paint them as extremists or radicals or whatever. And I think that's actually nonsense.
As a writer, I try to do different things, but I'm not going to become a darker artist or turn into Radiohead overnight. I don't think that's my style.
I try to make music, all kinds of music, whether it be singing or rapping.
What I don't do is try to like become whoever I'm rapping with. The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL.
