When you are tough on yourself life is going to be infinitely easier on you.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.

Develop an interest in life as you see it the people things literature music - the world is so rich simply throbbing with rich treasures beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Very little is needed to make a happy life it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

You can never really live anyone else's life not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you've become yourself.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.

And understandably so that when you're in legal jeopardy you really cannot put yourself in a position to open yourself up to the media.

Being a press secretary is like learning to type: You're hunting and pecking for a while and then you find yourself doing the touch system and don't realize it. You're speaking for the president without ever having to go to him.

I enjoy the element of pushing yourself learning something new whether it's a dance step a scene an emotion.

As you get older you're always maturing you're always learning something new about yourself.

You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do but I'm learning.

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something you're growing and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.

Someone taught me how to eat properly. Learning from others is important when it's not working for yourself.

That was a real learning element for me because I realized that the more true you are to yourself the more you will lose people.

I feel the older I get the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time it's all about finding yourself.

It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school or even a single class is a great bet too.

It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make particularly young ones is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles the bee's knees and it's not true.

The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
