bit broke chisel easy hammer impersonal interact site trying web
I didn't want the Web site to be impersonal and I wanted to interact with people, ... The hammer and chisel bit was not as easy as it looks. We broke 137 monitors trying to get that done.
moving trying behind-you
Leaning forward in your chair when someone is trying to squeeze behind you isn't enough. You also have to move the chair.
beautiful inner-peace trying
I get those fleeting, beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day, I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.
gay people trying
Trying to get the talk show, looking back on it, we had to beg a lot of station managers to pick up the show because people thought no one would watch it because I'm openly gay.
mind trying finding-happiness
We're just trying to find happiness in the bodies and minds we were given, like everyone else.
guy comedian trying
I've been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so it's pretty equal. I don't know why that is. It's been the same thing for a while. It's hard for female comedians to stand out. That's weird. That's a shame.
bored trying new-things
I like to try new things because I get bored so easily.
men trying way
I'm sure men have their own ways of trying to demean one another, but women can be very gossipy and judgmental, and that doesn't help.
regret trying friendly
When I look back on the stuff I used to wear, I wonder why somebody didn't try to stop me. Just a friendly warning, "You may regret this," would have been fine.
keys balance trying
Life is about balance. The good and the bad. The highs and the lows. The thing everyone should realize is that the key to happiness is being happy by yourself and for yourself. Happiness comes from within. You have the power to change your own mindset so that all the negative, horrible thoughts that try to invade your psyche are replaced with happy, positive, wonderful thoughts.
funny hater trying
Normally, I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I'd like to talk about it, because my haters are my motivators.
almost anne stuck wrote
Anne wrote it for me and directed, so I was stuck with it, ... We always got along. It's almost gross, I tell you, when I think of how well we get along.
approval
I think I let go of the need for approval,
help
just help the way you can. It doesn't have to be money. It can be any way that you can.
