Being told to get out, not being afraid to fail and try new things - that really makes a difference.
When I'm being funny, I try not to offend. I don't think much of what I've done has been in really ghastly taste. I don't think I have embarrassed many people or distressed them.
I would classify myself as an individual. That's what I try to stay true with - being myself, 100 percent.
I try to lead by example, being conscious of others and being responsible.
Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself.
I always try to write about believable people.
When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.
They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.
When you try to unravel something you've written, you belittle it in a way. It was created as a mystery.
Gymnastics is the greatest sport in the world, and one of the hardest, but we have to watch out for domineering male figures who try to belittle and scream at young girls.
I try, when I go into places, not to belittle what's gone before, because I know how difficult it is to manage, and everybody does it differently.
I rarely eat breakfast because of our schedule, actually. If I do, though, I'll try to do an egg-white omelet with some bell peppers and mushrooms. Maybe a side of a bunch of different fruits.
I want to defend and put my title on the line as much as possible. If the top in the division are ready to try to come and take my belt - and the key word is 'try' - I'm ready to give them that opportunity.
I try to learn from Falcao, and Manu Riviere as well - his movement is excellent - it's really good for me. I need to work on my movement and my finishing, but seeing these guys on a regular basis gives me a benchmark.
When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
I was going to try to get into the creative writing program at Berkeley; it's just that the acting thing worked out.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
I try to be smart with my comedy. Generally, it devolves into bathroom humour. I describe my comedy as, 'I have the best intentions, but usually it fails.'
So many people have opinions and try to guide you, and everyone has the best intentions, but it makes it harder to cut through the noise and be like 'wow, this is what I really want to do.'
I try to be the best man I can for the day.
