A Quote by Francis Ford Coppola

My talent is that I just try and try and try and try again and little by little it comes to something. — © Francis Ford Coppola
My talent is that I just try and try and try and try again and little by little it comes to something.
If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that's what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don't try to be authentic and real with themselves.
I just try to stay in my little circle. And I don't try to do too much. And when my opportunity comes, I just try to make the most of it.
My idea was that if I loved to sing, I would just do it anywhere I could, and always go out and always try to learn and try to perform, and try to find opportunities. Little by little, I sort of built upon that idea.
That was probably one of the things that if I look back at my career and say what is something I would try and do a little bit differently, I’d try and be a little bit more loose playing the game. Have a little more fun doing it.
There was a little man, and he had a little soul; And he said, Little Soul, let us try, try, try!
I try to exercise when I'm on road - I really do try - but I also try not to push myself too hard. I just try to move.
Whenever something good happens to me, I try-it may sound kind of bad-to think a little negative. I just always try to keep myself grounded.
If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!
People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don't normally do, but I think that's just a natural thing for artists. It's like, 'Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.'

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try again.
I try to have the right thing happen at the end of the case, try to have the case have a moral compass to it, try to do a little teaching while I'm at it because that's the, you know, that's the preacher in me.
Even in the minor leagues, I just said I'll get my little bit of time in here and then get out of here. I was going to try, though. I wasn't going to just give up. I was always going to try. I'm here. I figured I might as well try.
I always try to act as though there is a little boy or a little girl around, and I try never to do anything that would give them a bad example.
Say "yes" to life! "Yes" to wonder, to joy, to despair. "Yes" to pain, "yes" to what you don't understand. Try "yes." Try "always." Try "possible." Try "hopeful." Try "I will." And try "I can."
I just try to attack the rim as hard as I can. Try to get the crowd pumped up a little bit.
