Try
(page 6)
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.
When things are a disappointment, try not to be so discouraged.
When I was in college, I was debating to try my hand at show business, or to become a professor. I just thought of the risk of not going into show business and always wondering if I would've had a chance. Because that's where my real heart was.
Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
You can say we're trying too hard or that we didn't try hard enough, but we're not trying at all; we're just doing what we do.
If you are afraid of being lonely, don't try to be right.
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
If two wrongs don't make a right, try three.
I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.
I try to understand place on a deeper level than just the physical or environmental aspects. It includes cultural and intellectual forces, too. It's an inclusive approach that brings in many disciplines and sees place as a dynamic thing.
There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
I am trying to do the best work I possibly can and making movies that will have resonance for years to come. I think if you try for an Oscar or a goal like that, the more people are going to see it as transparent. It's not on my radar. If it happens, great, but I'm happy to continue working as I am, really.
Occasionally I get fed up, going to visit a factory, when I am being shown around by the chairman, who clearly hasn't got a clue, and I try to get hold of the factory manager, but I can't because the chairman wants to make sure he's the one in all the photographs.
If companies don't think systemically enough — if they try to capture too much of the value — eventually, innovation moves somewhere else.
Everything will probably never be OK. But we have to try for it.
