I went to the University of Toronto for a year, and I'm always trying to get across what university is really like.
I'm always trying to get those interviews that are impossible to get, because they are the ones that are most interesting to the audience.
All through my comics career, I was always trying to reinvent the form.
I write poetry to figure things out. It's what I use as a navigating tool in my life, so when there's something that I just can't understand, I have to "poem" my way through it. For that reason I write a lot about family, because my family confuses me and I'm always trying to figure them out. I write a lot about love, because love is continually confusing in all of its many glorious aspects.
I write about love and family a lot, because I'm always trying to figure those things out. At different points in my life, just when I think I've finished writing about it, the dynamics shift, and then I have a whole new set of questions and worries and misunderstandings to wrestle with.
The spiritual mind is always metaphorical. Spiritual thinking is poetic thinking. It's always trying to put a very diaphanous experience into words, realizing all the while that words are inadequate.
It's so disappointing, to put it mildly, that people know so much about my life. Because it means that they're always trying to look at my books in terms of my life.
I'll do anything for $50. People are always trying to get me to do dumb things. The possibilities are endless.
Sometimes, a new toy, a new technology, will focus you. The world is always trying to draw you out, so you always have to remember to go in.
Even in traditional filmmaking, you're always trying to find novel ways of telling stories, and this is different.
It's nice to have recognition for doing a good job, but at the end of the day, I'm just an actor and I'm doing my job and I'm always trying to get better at doing that job.
We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.
I'm always trying to swim to new ground.
Businessmen are always trying to advance their business interests, but they are not running for Prime Minister.
The other thing [my psychology professor] said to me was that I was always very mindful of the person who was away from the group, that I was always trying to bring them in.
I'm always trying out new stuff onstage. That's where I do all my writing.
I was always trying to pick guys up. I'd ask guys out and stuff like that. I had no pride. I was the biggest lurch at dances, waiting for the ladies' choice. I'd lunge at my prey like a baby wolf.
Always when I directed the play, I was always trying to cast people not who were necessarily like the characters, but people who I felt had the essential component that the character had, some kind of soul for it.
I have superfine, superoily hair, so my struggle is always trying to get the volume I want. I end up not doing much with it ever.
I'm always trying to do something active because I love it.
Blankets on the other hand are incredibly needy as they are always trying to fill a “void”. Are a bit whorish in that the instant you walk away from them in less than a minute they’ll be all over someone else, and the moment you actually need them they’re nowhere to be found.
The more freedom I allow myself as a writer to wander, become lost and go into uncertain territory - and I am always trying to go to the more awkward place, the more difficult place - the more frightening it is, because I have no plan.
I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
I like embracing kind of normal forms but am always trying to approach them as if no one's ever done that before. As if I'm literally the first person to ever write a book.
There’s a whole list of things I would probably change about myself. For example, I’m always trying to lose fifteen pounds. But I never need to be skinny. I don’t want to be skinny. I’m constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don’t beat myself up over it.
