Do you deliberately play risky moves?

Do you try to maintain equality or do you try to unbalance the position in any way you can?

depends on who I am playing. If my opponent is weak, I will make risky moves to make it more exciting. If I fear my opponent, I play as solid as I can.

I would characterized what I do more as 'aggressive' moves but I still try to be positionally sound.

Depends on the situation as Bartleby73 mentions. In my case I try to play the best moves in rated games, although I unintentionally play risky moves in too many games but don't realize how risky they were until it's too late. 

lol, i guess its a matter of taste. i prefer to play safe since my middlegame is not too good.
