It's much easier to talk about racism when you're able to use mutants as a metaphor. People would much rather talk about Charles Xavier and Magneto than they would about Martin Luther King or Malcolm X.

Cheo Hodari Coker

John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola and Oliver Stone - those guys are consummate filmmakers. They believe that you don't talk it, you show it. So when I find a role now, I try to find a visual way to tell what the character is about rather than trying to speak about it.

George Hamilton

But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.

Po Bronson

Class is something that I think seriously about and try to organise my politics around. I think there are lots of novels that don't really engage with questions of class at all, and they get less conversation about issues of social privilege than I do. But it's better to try and talk about it and maybe fail.

Sally Rooney

I hate having to do small talk. I'd rather talk about deep subjects. I'd rather talk about meditation, or the world, or the trees or animals, than small, inane, you know, banter.

Ellen DeGeneres

There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.

Garry Winogrand

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say

Bobby Rahal

I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say.

Bobby Rahal

I would much rather not be the center of attention, and I'd much rather travel and be writing my novel, rather than standing on a stage and trying to get people to understand something.

Willis Earl Beal

Politically, I don't care what party you're from, offer a point of view and let's see what happens and really debate the issues rather than use personal attacks. Really talk about it, talk about immigration, talk about education, talk about pollution.

Robin Williams

Rather than trying to fit a prescribed need for office sizes, we try to go with the flow of the building as much as possible.

Miguel McKelvey

I would rather fail trying than succeed at doing nothing.

Denis Waitley

If you're going to fail, you'd rather fail early than fail late in general.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

If you talk to a lot of people in government, they will talk about the pathway to getting something done rather than the thing itself. And I just talk about material outcomes.

Bill de Blasio

I don't believe in talking about my work. I let it speak for itself. I'd rather make money than just talk about my business. People think that because I don't talk much to the media, I am arrogant. I am not arrogant, but I do have an attitude.

Shailender Singh

Try to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better that they should fail than you should.

Charles Dickens
