In my old age I've come to find that if you respect other people, you feel better about yourself.
When you act, you really have to give all of yourself, and if you're doing that purely for money, it's not healthy.
A good basic selling idea, involvement and relevancy, of course, are as important as ever, but in the advertising din of today, unless you make yourself noticed and believed, you ain't got nothin'.
I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.
That's what I love about acting, you get to find little pieces of yourself in every character you play.
Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don't give up.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.
Everyone is their own kind of lesbian. To think there's a certain way to dress or present yourself in the world is just one more stereotype we have to fit into.
If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
What happens so often as an actor is that you retain the information about the scenes that you yourself shot and you obsess over certain scenes that you found the most challenging or interesting. The rest of the film kind of falls away in your memory or it fades a little bit.
I don't want to sell myself short. You hurt your spouse, not so much by the infidelity, but by the negative feelings about yourself that you bring home.
If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.
Who knows what critics are thinking? I know that you make more of a name for yourself, make more of an interesting review, if you're kind of mean-spirited.
The only question to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success?
I believe you are never past the point of creating opportunities for yourself.
If you play a role, you want to familiarize yourself with that person's world. If I were playing an airline pilot or a doctor, I'd probably want to hang out with a doctor or an airplane pilot for a while, ask some questions. You don't get to hang out the kings. They don't help consult on movies. So your resources are, by necessity, secondary.
I parade in next to no clothes every day. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people, but I think everyone is different, and that is something we should be celebrating.
I think everybody has ups and downs in their lives. We learn from the biggest disappointments, right? You learn how to be humble to yourself and to be humble to others.
To discern what weaknesses and faults separate you from God, you must enter into your own inward ground and then confront yourself.
Just taking care of yourself is a job of its own.
You come to a point where you give up on holding yourself to a perfect feminist ideal - it just feels stifling.
Do not know yourself. I want to continue to surprise me.
If you don't really have a dream, you can't really push yourself; you don't really know what the target is.
Whoever you pretend to be, you must face yourself eventually.
If some band sucks, you're going to have to find out about it for yourself, because I don't have the interest in issuing warnings.
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
Americans work a long away ahead of themselves because of the size of the place. To make any impact at all you have to promote yourself with live performances ages before a release.
You really need faith in yourself to make art and to stand up for what you believe in.
First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
You might make a lot of money, but it's very hard to get out from under that rug. The more you can reinvent yourself, the better - and unfortunately TV is designed not to let you redesign yourself.
You can spend a bit of yourself when you give yourself to a character. At the end of a job, you have to remind yourself who and what you are.
I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.
I realized what you could do in motion pictures by surrounding yourself with geniuses.
A lot of acting requires you to be a charming version of yourself. A lot of what happens in the industry is that you are cast based on other things that people have seen you do, or how you are perceived to look or sound. If everyone thinks you're bizarre and creepy, then you play bad guys.
To see a doll of yourself is very weird and very neat at the same time.
Every role you do is kind of a side of yourself. That's why they give you the part.
