My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me. – Jeff Bridges

What I aspire to do, and what I try the hardest to do, is write stuff that’s very personal in its way. I figure I can only say things the way I say them, so I’m trying to do something that is kind of anti-generic. – Jason Robert Brown
I would never try to motivate anyone to follow me. I would motivate him to follow certain principles. – Jim Brown
I’m going to try to not let anyone put me in a box, and that certainly applies to the things I do outside of acting. – James Franco
Winning is never enough, and I’ve got to try and do it as much as I can before my time is over. – Jason Day
I’m big on having a blistering pace. That’s one of the hallmarks of what I do, and that’s not easy. I never blow up cars and things like that, so it’s something else that keeps the suspense flowing.

I have been desperate to escape for so many years now, it is routine for me to try to escape. – Jack Henry Abbott

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I’m involved in. – John Frusciante
I wanted to try and trace the genuine origins of ‘Johnny’ and how he so successfully staged this takeover of ‘Michael Pennington.’ ‘Johnny’ is a contradiction to who I am as a person. I’m not very good at confrontation, I have a tendency to internalise and to carry things around. – Johnny Vegas
We’re going to be very strong with employers in all of our aspects, because I think there’s been too much of this idea let’s try and get along here, and we’ve eroded some of our standards. – James P. Hoffa
