Times have changed. Trying to compete as a small attraction in the Southern California area has become tougher and tougher.

I was just trying to mainly guard the 3-point shot. But, he’s (Steele) so quick, he made a sudden stop and gained enough space to get a look. Fortunately, it just fell short.

I was trying to figure out what the heck I was doing. I wanted to get in there and run and obviously play some defense. We’ve got a young team but that’s not an excuse....

I’m not trying to prove a point. I’m not trying to prove anything. I just want to get it out of my system and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that....

He tries to find the exit from himself but there is no door.

I wasn’t trying to bunt it, that’s for sure.

There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying.

It’s just natural. They’re trying awfully hard, and (they’ve) got to take care of themselves because we want them to stay on the field 15 times (for spring practices).

The good thing is we are still in there and still trying (to sign him). The chairman is working on it and I hope we can get him.

Michael rang to say thanks for trying to sign him,

First period, I was kind of tentative, I was trying to feel him out, and once I got an idea of what he was going to do, I just had to stay aggressive. I stayed...

We’re in a situation where we just can’t stop the bleeding. We keep trying to put band-aids on the wound, but nothing seems to help.

It’s not a case of the glass being half full or half empty; more that we tipped a whole half-pint into an empty pint pot. I had to see how much was there, though, and...

It’s weak and despicable to go on wanting things and not trying to get them

A scientist doesn’t know all the answers. Nobody does, not even teachers. But a scientist keeps on trying to find the answers.

Don’t you worry if everything seems so difficult right now. They will get better, just give it a try. Don’t be too harsh on yourself if you seem to be trying & trying but nothing...

They knocked shots down (while we were) trying to get back in a rhythm. But the important thing is that we won by 20 points and that’s the bottom line.

Well, when you’re trying to create things that are new, you have to be prepared to be on the edge of risk.

During times when we were trying to kill the clock, she could handle the ball. She dribbles so darn hard, I think people were afraid to stick their hand in there.

The funny thing about an impossibility is that it tends to be a magnet for those who would prove it otherwise.

We’re trying to work ourselves out of a job.

That’s fine. We’re just going out there and trying to get the ball back for them as many times as possible. That’s all we care about. What they do with the ball is the offense’s...

Who you are tomorrow begins with what you do today.

The good thing for me is I have more to offer. As an athlete, you are always trying to get better. You always strive to do that. I have elevated my game.

I think he is just trying to make everybody happy, trying to cover it up, trying to overlook us.

It was good for us. We weren’t really trying to put up fast times but I was happy with the fact that we still ran some quick times on old tires. I feel very good,...

We’re trying to get better, and we’re not where we want to be — but we’ve progressed. If we stay consistent on defense, we’ll be fine. We’ll get the easy baskets and then won’t have...

The fourth quarter is going to be volatile and trying. I don’t think the market has fully discounted all the negatives in front of it, including the hurricanes’ impact on the economy, higher energy prices...

I would think this is a long shot, trying to get the Court of Appeals to stop this trial. The defense has a better chance of having a stay granted than winning on the merits...

making excuses. Why don’t they let the inspectors do their job? Stop making excuses, stop trying to politicize the operation, stop trying to pick the inspectors.

Stop and think about a new rock band just trying to come up with a name that’s not been used. There’s only so much you can do in one direction.

It was a very intelligent goal. Take the shot before they are still trying to organize and she just walked up and smacked it in the net and it was a nicely placed shot.

We were trying to make a statement.

It was a great way to go in the half. One second they are trying to cut our lead to nine, but then we turn around and extend the thing to 20. That’s a big...

He’s been trying that 3 all year. I told him, ‘Someday, you’re going to make one of those things.’ It just came up at the right time.

Tony Soprano is an everyday kind of guy, bringing up teen-agers, having a daughter, trying to get her into a good school. God, half of America can deal with that.

[T]he whole point is the wishing and remembering–not if what you want happens, not if remembering hurts. Because when you wish for something, you’re askin. And when you ask, you’re trying. And all anyone can...

I’m just trying to do something, do something to move the runners up. I haven’t been swinging the bat the way I should. That’s part of the game. I know.

It’s hard to do what Mac was trying to do,

She is trying hard and hopefully we will see her come up with a good result in the Wimbledon.

There are intense talks going on. They are trying very hard to see if they can make last-minute changes for the Sunni Arabs.

We’re not trying to be on [the MTV show] TRL, but we enjoy playing to the largest crowd possible. It keeps the pressure off us if it’s not our main focus. We do what we...

Scott taught me a lot on general high jumping stuff, using my forearms and trying to keep me relaxed. He taught me how not to always be in such a hurry and missing stuff.

Things have been very distorted by how warm the weather was in January. To some extent, we’re trying to get a handle on how it impacted the economy. It helped retail spending and housing starts,...

I was trying to get to the basket, but I took what was there. It was a tough shot. I got enough arc, but it was a little strong.

The greatness of a purpose………!!!A lion was trying to chase a deer, lion was tryig his best and a monkey while sitting on a tree was watching all this, during running suddenly deer faced a...

My point is that because it got out the way it got out, there’s no spin here. I’m trying to be open about our process, and our process is just starting. You know your media...

We’re off to a good start and we’re trying to take advantage of it. It’s important because they’re in our division, but it’s no more important than that.

I don’t think the ministry is trying to conceal the cases, … The cases occurred in a remote and isolated area, and the symptoms might be similar to many other diseases, so it’s not easy...

I’m trying to figure out where I would need to stand on the court to have the same trajectory,
