I guess I was trying to rob somebody and they shot me and I lost my leg.

There was a wide variation of things going on, and we’re trying to figure out what is the timing of some of construction.

There are gaps. We’re trying to narrow those gaps,

I don’t know if getting down there and trying to rebound and getting under all that contact would be a smart idea right now because of coming down on somebody’s foot or landing the wrong...

They were going for it, too. They were trying to score a goal. They were all going forward, and I stepped up at the right time.

We also think they’re trying to take the other parks and slice off pieces of them too. This is sort of a test case to see if they can get away with it.

The big picture is we’re trying to get ready for the playoffs. You want to keep guys healthy.

I think it’s clear Iran is trying to acquire all aspects of the fuel cycle, there is evidence they are considering doing some research on weapons but no one knows if they are going to...

We just got stops, rebounds and hit free throws. We’ve been trying to prove something every game and I think we’ve proven to ourselves that we can defend, rebound and hit free throws and if...

Trying is always enough.

I don’t think there’s any extra pressure trying to repeat, but what I do feel are a lot of great memories to look back on and to gain some momentum.

They seem to be trying to replay the good-cop-bad-cop strategy the US and EU [European Union] used against them, but in their own way where they play both the good cop and the bad cop.

We have central banks that are trying to frame exit strategies from unusually accommodative conditions.

What they’re doing is what we’re trying to do, which is close the gap a bit. The percentage increase sounds daunting, but the dollar increase is not.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

I think what the commissioner is trying to do is trying to put an end to all of this. I know people have said, ‘Where is this investigation going, and what purpose?’ But I think...

What we were trying to do was get to the fourth quarter. And we couldn’t get there. They could score so fast. It messes you up. They’re the best offensive team I’ve seen, absolutely.

There was still trepidation (last spring). I was just trying to survive.

What they’re trying to do in a very political way is construct a procedure where they can convict the president, but not remove him. And you can put as many fancy words around that as...

All the proteins look very similar. Without the labeling, it would be like trying to find a specific potato within a couple hundred thousand of them.

I mean, we’re trying to protect the interests of working families and these attacks in several different areas have been directed at workers.

Do we make it seem cool? I think we do. What we’re trying to do is tell Eric’s story. I think Eric is cool. … I don’t think there’s a video game quality to our...

(It) kind of locks me in, makes me feel good about my target and where I’m trying to go and where I’m trying to step with my pitches. It just kind of gives you a...

You have to keep trying to upgrade.
