Additional Information

The phrase “I’ll try anything” can mean that someone is willing to attempt anything that might help them achieve their goal or solve a problem. The use of the phrase was common in the late 1960s and early 1970s during a cultural movement that emphasized experimentation and exploration. 

It is similar in meaning to the famous quote made by American actress, singer, comedian, screenwriter, playwright, and sex symbol Mae West (1893-1980), in which she states, “I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure,” but both have different connotations. “I’ll try anything” implies that someone is willing to try new things in general, while the famous quote implies that someone is willing to try something new at least once. They both involve being adventurous, open-minded, tolerant, or unprejudiced.
