I don't need to be told what I am or what I should do or if I beat this guy it means I'm good or if I lose to that guy it means I'm bad. I'm at peace with myself, and I know what I do every day in my training will speak for itself, and success will be a byproduct.
I don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
I myself was a wedding photographer when I was, like, 16.
I've always been in the right place and time. Of course, I steered myself there.
I used to eat because food tastes so good. I love food, it's one of the best things on this planet. But I changed the way I was thinking. I started asking myself, 'Hey, am I eating because it tastes good? Or because I really need some more? Am I really still hungry?'
I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.
I felt the need to tell stories to understand myself.
I knew I had a great figure, but I never regarded myself as beautiful.
I enjoy my work too much to force-feed myself with pressure.
In no way do I want to draw attention to myself.
Sometimes when I walk into a gallery and I see someone's work, I think to myself, 'Gee, I wish I had done that.'
I don't call myself a very good Christian, but I think I know one when I see one, and I also think I know when I don't.
Art was a way for me to express myself and for me to also escape because it was tough growing up as a child. We didn't have a lot of money. I was always creating. I was writing stories. I was doing comic books. I made my own universe.
I was raised Irish Catholic, but I don't consider myself Irish Catholic: I consider myself me, an American.
My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.
If the picture speaks to me, if it tells me something about myself, then I want it. Then I have to have it.
I get paralyzingly nervous a lot of times, so I tried bravado. The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: 'strength.'
I say to myself that I shall try to make my life like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it and so go out themselves to warm and cheer.
I felt within myself that I needed to change what I was doing. I needed a new stimuli. So the interest from Manchester United was a perfect fit.
I need to start caring about myself if I'm going to be a proper father.
I set myself one task, which was to get Labour on to the front foot, back in the game, making the weather on the economy, and that's going to take me a year.
I see myself being married to my girlfriend and backpacking all over the world. If I can go out and do a 15-mile hike and climb a 12,000-ft. peak, I'm good to go.
I'm proud that somebody like myself has made it to the very top.
Now I am ready to set new goals and start a new career for myself outside of the ring.
I have adopted clothes from all the projects I'm in. It's really been a while since I've bought anything myself.
I've never really been a confident person, except from a musical standpoint. I had to push myself early on, but it got easier with each gig.
I'm trying to work on my modelling career and remove myself from the whole FHM stigma.
I know that no one can really stop me but myself and that really no one can help me but myself.
Because I'm married and have kids, I feel like I sometimes get pegged as a choirboy or something, but I wouldn't exactly describe myself that way.
I insist on the truth. I surround myself with people who tell the truth.
When I was growing up in East Germay, everyone said there was no God. So I started looking for it myself.
I worked with someone who told me they'd never like me. But for some reason, I just felt like I needed her approval. So I started changing myself to please her. It made me stop being social and friendly. I was so unhappy.
With a goose-quill and a few sheets of paper, I mock myself of the universe. They say I am the son of a courtesan; it may be so, but I have the heart of a King. I live free, I enjoy myself, I can call myself happy.
I suppose where I am sort of reflects the work I have chosen to do. Are there occasional frustrations because I can't work with a certain director because it's a big studio movie, and I don't have enough of a studio profile? The answer is yes. But generall... generally, I have the career I have chosen myself.
Modeling is exciting, but I certainly felt frustrated that I couldn't speak out or express myself. I always wanted to express my desires in some other medium.
I really just want to continue to challenge myself. And I want to continue to grow as an artist. I never want to stop.
