I tried the paleo diet which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. And I tried the calorie restriction diet: The idea is that if you eat very very little - if you're on the verge of starvation you will live a very long time whether or not you want to of course.

At one point I even thought 'Oh I'll take diet pills.' I tried it for one day and I thought my heart was going to explode. It's awful and I would never ever recommend it.

I've probably tried every fad diet in the world.

I tried the Atkins diet in the Seventies when pregnant with my son as I didn't want to pile on the pounds. Now so long as I'm healthy I don't care what my scales say.

I've tried just about every crazy diet you can imagine.

I started dieting. I dieted dieted dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.

If I designed a computer with 200 chips I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.

I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.

I tried a dozen different modifications that were rejected. But they all served as a path to the final design.

Gaming in general is a male thing. It isn't that gaming is designed to exclude women. Everybody who's tried to design a game to interest a large female audience has failed. And I think that has to do with the different thinking processes of men and women.

More than 100 people have been sent to death row who were later exonerated because they weren't guilty or fairly tried. Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.

My mother was the sweetest lady who ever lived on this planet but if you tried to tell her that Jesus wasn't a Christian she would stomp you to death.

Those who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up.

I tried to tell them about the dating process because I'm single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard but the whole time he really wanted me!

I used to be really nervous when I sang. Like when I was a kid starting young 18 and 19 and my dad really had to sort of push me to start singing in front of people. Ever since I got out there and really started doing it the only thing I've ever tried to do is just sort of is be myself you know never put on a voice. Sing naturally.

Even if I tried to be my dad it would be a mediocre slightly embarrassing version.

If I have a problem stuff's going through my head I feel like using I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32 I believe.

I remember once we got an interview and he said 'Dad these people are writing about me like I'm an adult. Don't they know I'm a kid?' I have never tried to encourage him to get a music image like other musicians have.

I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything to forge my own path to think to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.

I grew up in a house where my father encouraged my brother and me to fail. I specifically remember coming home and saying 'Dad Dad I tried out for this or that and I was horrible ' and he would high-five me and say 'Way to go.'

I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19 and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said 'Mommy used to be kind of cool kind of like a Britney Spears.'

I saw a drummer play once when I was a kid and I thought that's really cool. You know you're moving. You're using your arms and fingers. So I tried it and I loved it.
