Sometimes decisions get made and it ends up being God doing for you what you couldn't do for yourself.
You're just so excited that you have this record deal or this movie opportunity that you don't stand up for yourself and say, This is what I want to do.
Just look at my face. Its an extraordinary experience. All of my friends who are grandparents have been saying, just wait, a bit cynically, but its just extraordinary. You feel like a child again yourself. Just walking on air.
I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.
You've got to be actively involved in the process yourself and you've got to listen carefully to what the coach is saying, take that on board yourself and implement what the coach is saying.
I'm from a generation of women that shattered the glass ceiling. We didn't wait for doors to open. The lesson I learned is that you need to open some doors for yourself in pursuit of career advancement.
Believe in yourself, listen to your gut, and do what you love.
Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.
There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.
Be true to yourself and go with your instincts - don't be somebody you're not just to fit in.
You need to believe in yourself.
Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.
Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don't learn nothing, cause hey, it's not your fault, it's his fault, over there.
The existence is a tremendous curiosity, with in the course of the years, the discovery of yourself in your inmost evolutions. With the age you feel better than you are, what you represent. Which means a little at the planet's scale.
If you try to talk about yourself honestly when you're an actor, you come off as stuck on yourself.
Being an actor sometimes requires that you ask yourself questions you'd rather not know the answers to.
Telling people more about yourself and distinguishing yourself from your opponent - they're both essential parts of communicating with voters.
Above all things, reverence yourself.
Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

I think that as soon as you think of yourself as a famous person or anything like that, you're objectifying yourself in some weird way.
Set yourself earnestly to see what you are made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it.
You have to push yourself when you're older because it's very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart - you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important. When your mind is busy, you don't hurt so much.
Do everything yourself.
When a test pilot comes off a flight, there is typically another pilot who is going to take it up, and he believes in the debriefing. You don't keep something to yourself.
The freedom to express yourself without fear - that perhaps is something we in the U.S. take for granted. It's almost inconceivable to think we would be afraid to express our opinions or thoughts, but that's not true for all parts of the world now, and certainly not before World War II.
There's a certain - there's a different pressure with playing in a Ryder Cup. You know, you're not just playing for yourself. You're playing for your teammates. You're playing for your country.
You can fool a lot of yourself but you can't fool the soul.
You should examine yourself daily. If you find faults, you should correct them. When you find none, you should try even harder.
I haven't written an awful lot recently, but I think I probably will start again very shortly. Being so much on the road, when you have a couple of weeks off, you're likely to avoid sitting at the piano, and taping, and giving yourself more work to do.
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
