I've only had success when I'm not trying to. It's that weird thing where if you're trying to impress a girl, you're not going to impress her. But if you aren't trying to impress a girl, you'll probably impress her because you're not trying.

Mike Posner

If you're trying to impress a girl, go with something that doesn't look like you're trying to impress, but you should still make an effort. It goes back to what you're comfortable with. Look like you're there with interest.

Matthew Daddario

I don't know who he (Wladimir) was trying to impress in that homo-erotic video of his doing bicep-curls. It didn't impress me.

David Haye

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

Robert Greene

Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.

Henry Rollins

Stop trying to impress people with your clothes and impress them with your life.

Richard J. Foster

I'm in the middle of just trying to impress my nieces, who think I work for the bus company because they saw a picture of me on a bus. I did an independent movie with Mark Pellington (I Melt with You), and then tried to impress my nieces again, by starring opposite Miley Cyrus (in So Undercover). So, basically I'm just trying to get some respect from my family.

Jeremy Piven

It is only possible to succeed at second-rate pursuits - like becoming a millionaire or a prime minister, winning a war, seducing beautiful women, flying through the stratosphere, or landing on the moon. First-rate pursuits - involving, as they must, trying to understand what life is about and trying to convey that understanding - inevitably result in a sense of failure. A Napoleon, a Churchill, or a Roosevelt can feel himself to be successful, but never a Socrates, a Pascal, or a Blake. Understanding is forever unattainable.

Malcolm Muggeridge

But the judge would have to be people in the fashion world and a bunch of random girls. Because guys in the league aren't trying to impress guys in the league. They're trying to impress people who have clout in the fashion world and women.

Iman Shumpert

Robert Greene

You can't have a favourite meal, like you can't have a favourite movie or a favourite book or a favourite child.

Michelle Pfeiffer

'Words, Words, Words' was very much its title. It's just words, words, words and trying to show that I can pack as much material into an hour as I possibly could word count-wise.

Bo Burnham

I'm not trying to put on airs for anybody. I'm only trying to impress myself by doing the best job I can do.

Matthew McConaughey

We're trying to impress ourselves in a way. That's why we keep trying to do things better... we never get satisfied.

George Harrison

I'm not trying to have no surgeries because I'm trying to impress somebody and I end up hurting or tearing my labrum or rotator cuff.

Shannon Sharpe

You're always trying to impress your parents regardless of how old you are. And when they're gone, there's nobody to impress. But I think my parents would be proud of me. My father has been gone for 30 years, and by the time he passed away, I was a lawyer. I hope he would be impressed.
