Ive tried to avoid labels, but they always find you.

The most important thing to remember about food labels is that you should avoid foods that have labels.

Joel Fuhrman

Perhaps the choice is a negative one, in that I was trying to avoid everything that touched on well-known issues - or any issues at all, whether painterly, social or aesthetic. I tried to find nothing too explicit, hence all the banal subjects; and then, again, I tried to avoid letting the banal turn into my issue and my trademark. So it's all evasive action, in a way.

Gerhard Richter

I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.

B. D. Wong

The best advice is to avoid foods with health claims on the label, or better yet avoid foods with labels in the first place.

Mark Hyman

I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

Paul Newman

I have always tried to avoid regrets. Could I have done differently some things in my career? Maybe.

Rafael Nadal

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.

Dan Hicks

I've always tried to avoid music being direct therapy, and I've always found there's a power when you write something that can have its own interpretation - although I'm not being intentionally evasive.

KT Tunstall

I've tried as much as possible to avoid the standard nine-to-five thing. I've tried to organize my life so that I can move around, change the rhythm and the tempo.

Assata Shakur

I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.

Rafael Nadal

That's what I've always tried to do. I've always tried to prepare the same. I've always just tried to keep the same routine throughout the season and go out there and try to be consistent on Sundays.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

I've always tried to avoid politics because most politicians that I know are quite dirty in terms of human dignity, ethics and morals.

Steven Seagal

I don't think I've ever tried to make something happen that I've absolutely had to force. You know how they say: if you can't avoid it, enjoy it. For me, it's the other way around: if I can't enjoy it, I avoid it.
