You must accept that you might fail then if you do your best and still don't win at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility you don't set high goals you don't branch out you don't try - you don't take the risk.

For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.

I never had a policy I have just tried to do my very best each and every day.

After 'Freaks and Geeks ' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek ' and it just looked ridiculous so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.

I thought it might be a good move to get into a beauty contest so I tried for Miss Pennsylvania and won. I think that helped me get noticed at least by the people of Pennsylvania.

I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sing about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.

I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. To me it was meaningless. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sings about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.

When I tried to play something and screwed up I'd hear some other note that would come into play. Then I started trying different things to find the beauty in it.

After the first miscarriage I tried to take the attitude that it was my body's way of telling me that this pregnancy wasn't meant to be.

For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art.

We want to answer this classical question who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art or whatever we do including science or religion tried to answer that question.

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.

I had one drama teacher who was amazing Ms. Perkins. She really tried to inspire me and get me going.

I was the first spokesperson for the Better Hearing Institute in Washington. And that's the message we tried to send out - there is hearing help out there and the technology and options are amazing.

My 'Movember' moustache was never going to be as big as Nigel Mansell's but I tried my best. The amazing thing is that when you try to grow a moustache you notice everyone else's. There are some amazing moustaches on the grid.

I have tried to be a leader. I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google let alone the first woman to have a baby to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons.

I tried acupuncture the patch and hypnosis but found that I needed to do it alone - when the time was right for me.

I've always tried to do my very best and I want to be the very best age whatever age I am.

Growing up on stage I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L'Oreal Paris iconic lipstick - it was instant glamour and I've been hooked ever since.

What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16 was so young and living in this castle that can't leave because of how she looks and married to a man she hates and three times her age.

We tried not to age but time had its rage.

And in my own life in my own small way I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us - no matter what our age or background or walk of life - each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
