I try not to intellectualise what I do.
‐‐ Phoebe Philo
I try not to interpret things of the world into a single meaning. Rather, I try the opposite.
‐‐ Kim Ki-duk
I try not to invent; I try simply to translate the weird language of the natural world. And I'm not into absolute ownership of things.
‐‐ Alice Oswald
I try not to invest time in what other people think of me.
‐‐ Martin Henderson
I try not to judge because I've been judged a heck of a lot, and it don't feel nice.
‐‐ Estelle
I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.
‐‐ Bill Veeck
I try not to label myself anything, really, but you know, I'm definitely an indoorsy person, and I definitely kind of just try to, you know, stay away from life in the public eye, at least.
‐‐ Macaulay Culkin
I try not to listen to the shoulds or coulds, and try to get beyond expectations, peer pressure, or trying to please - and just listen. I believe all the answers are ultimately within us.
‐‐ Kim Cattrall
I try not to live in the future too much; that can make you crazy as an actor. There are so many people who are obsessed about their career path, like it's something which you can control, which fundamentally you can't.
‐‐ Romola Garai
I try not to live my life on my phone or my social media pages.
‐‐ Jane Levy
I try not to look any further ahead than the next cup of tea. You never know if that cuppa will come or not, do you?
‐‐ Tamsin Greig
I try not to look at my schedule for the week because I'll get so overwhelmed. Every day, there are multiple things to be done and 10 things I don't end up accomplishing.
‐‐ Hilary Duff
I try not to look back on my career.
‐‐ Dave Madden
I try not to look for messages in films.
‐‐ Robert Duvall
I try not to make the same mistakes today that I made yesterday.
‐‐ Darrell Royal
I try not to observe myself in the process of composing a poem because I don't want to come up with a formula, which I would then be unscrupulous in using.
‐‐ Thom Gunn
I try not to pass judgment on anyone, and I wish they wouldn't pass it on me.
‐‐ Mary Beth Whitehead
I try not to pay any attention to clothes fascism and I'd rather be thought of as someone who has his own sense of style.
‐‐ Michael Sheen
I try not to picture a reader when I'm writing. It's like trying to make a great table but not picturing anybody sitting at it.
‐‐ Sadie Jones
I try not to plan that too much.
‐‐ Philip Seymour Hoffman
I try not to play two days in succession. I usually try to space it so I have a day in between.
‐‐ Darrell Royal
I try not to punish the audience by making them listen to too much acoustic guitar.
‐‐ Kaki King
I try not to push myself too hard, but I also need to perform and earn the results.
‐‐ Im Dong-Hyun
I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I'm trying to do creatively. At the same time, I do think it's wonderful when I hear people say that it's inspirational that I'm an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse, and my friends are a diverse group of people.
‐‐ Mindy Kaling
I try not to put messages in my songs. My only message is man's communication with his fellow man. I want to narrow the gap of strangeness and alienation.
‐‐ Rod McKuen
I try not to put my purse on the floor - demons will get into it.
‐‐ Nina Arianda
I try not to put pressure on filmmakers to come up with a big scare at the beginning. I think that helps let the audience settle in and get to know the people they're about to spend 90 minutes with. Once the scarier stuff happens, it's scarier because of that.
‐‐ Jason Blum
I try not to read best-dressed lists or anything like that.
‐‐ Nina Dobrev
I try not to read best-dressed lists or anything like that. For every good thing, there will often be a not-so-nice thing people would say.
‐‐ Nina Dobrev
I try not to read blogs. The comments are extremely harsh.
‐‐ Jessica Simpson
I try not to read Google.
‐‐ Dito Montiel
I try not to read reviews. It's hard not to hear what the critics are saying, but as an actor, I try not to let it in and to just give the best performances I can. At the end of the day, if you're trying to please the critics, you're missing what's really important: being creative and having fun.
‐‐ Reid Scott
I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that's what brings everybody down - no matter what you do, you're always going to have haters.
‐‐ Vanessa Hudgens
I try not to read the negative comments, and when I do, I let it roll off my back. I remind myself that there will always be haters as long as you are in the public eye.
‐‐ Ryan Lochte
I try not to read the social networks too much. I find that way madness lies.
‐‐ Kit Harington
I try not to recommend too many books, frankly, because I think there's a certain synchronicity that happens when people discover books.
‐‐ James Redfield
I try not to regret too much. I find that feeling guilty takes up so much of my time already.
‐‐ Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
I try not to repeat a story. I try not to repeat an emotion. I want it to be all sort of new for the viewers and to challenge myself as a writer, so there's always pressure. What else can you come up with?
‐‐ Michael Patrick King
I try not to repeat myself in fills in all the Rush songs unless it is something simple or something I feel is my own characteristic thing.
‐‐ Neil Peart
I try not to repeat myself too often, but it's a gamble. 'Fred Claus' had three Oscar winners in it. No business - it was a bad movie.
‐‐ Elizabeth Banks
I try not to second-guess editors; they're the clients, and I have no expectation that my strip is going to make it into every paper every day.
‐‐ Garry Trudeau
I try not to see Woody Harrelson because he has become this big movie star, and it grates, so I try and stay away from him.
‐‐ Ted Danson
I try not to set myself up as different or as a celebrity or special. I have a husband that can get on my nerves. I have kids that test my patience. I've got a cat I can't keep off the sofa. It's real. On a bad day, I'm reading 'Acts of Faith.'
‐‐ Iyanla Vanzant
I try not to shut any doors before I even get there. I like doing music. I like singing. I love all music. Music kind of goes hand in hand with acting anyway.
‐‐ Jeremy Shada
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics.
‐‐ Dean Koontz
I try not to take much time off for lunch, so I usually end up with a tossed salad from the local deli.
‐‐ Aslaug Magnusdottir
I try not to take myself too seriously.
‐‐ Greg Laswell
I try not to take myself too seriously, but I do take my work seriously.
‐‐ Alison Doody
I try not to think about any of the production side of things. If you do, you tend to get unfocused and distracted. I just try to think about the character and the scene and what I'm doing.
‐‐ Shanley Caswell
I try not to think about anything special while running. As a matter of fact, I usually run with my mind empty. However, when I run empty-minded, something naturally and abruptly crawls in sometime. That might become an idea that can help me with my writing.
‐‐ Haruki Murakami
I try not to think about my life. I have no life. I need therapy.
‐‐ Keanu Reeves
I try not to think about negative thoughts and possibilities and disaster and things like that.
‐‐ Rory Cochrane
I try not to think about the expectations of other people because there's always going to be expectations.
‐‐ Stephanie Sigman
I try not to think about the trope or whether or not my books are like 'Fifty' or 'Crossfire' or any other series.
‐‐ Julie Kenner
I try not to think about what people think of me. You can't, because then you get hung up in all the people who love you, and you've also got all the people who hate you, because of what you're doing.
‐‐ Eve Ensler
I try not to think about writers who came before me when I'm writing myself. If I did, given the abundance of literary talent Scotland - and Edinburgh in particular - has bestowed upon the world, I wouldn't be able to get as much as a sentence written.
‐‐ Allan Guthrie
