So many people always try to help me carry my luggage and help me do things I can do myself. If I can do it myself, I'm going to do it myself. I'm not going to let other people do it for me, and I think that's a big part of where I came from. I'm not a real prissy girl.
Forget 'full of myself,' I'm not remotely impressed with myself.
I didn't want to make cinema so a person forgets himself and has a lot of fun. 'I forget myself, I am a little poor consumer.' I wanted to make a picture where someone who sees it say, 'This is me! This is me!'
I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty... but I am too busy thinking about myself.
Every time I introduce myself, I'm reminded where I came from.
I've always done theater. I've never thought of myself as a comedic actress in any way. 'Anchorman' kind of cracked that open. When I got a small part in 'Anchorman,' I didn't know it was possible on camera to improvise. So I was like, 'What's happening?'
But as far as, for I think it will be amazing you know where I find myself years from now because of this film. It's just amazing, I think everybody's going to kind of know this film and because of it, me. So I you know it's crazy.
I'm not the type to pat myself on the back and all that, but somebody has to be lucky, right? When I got to Dallas, I was struggling - sleeping on the floor with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment. I used to drive around, look at the big houses, and imagine what it would be like to live there and use that as motivation.
I try to master every facet of a character in order to build a safety net for myself, so I can go on to take more risks to create someone really distinct.
I look forward to proving something to myself and others.
I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide, but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist, every morning at the time of his visit, made me want to hang myself, realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
It's as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it.
I myself am a very nonviolent person and only resort to violence when I absolutely have to.
So I'm trying to spread myself to the point to where I can do the night shows and not have to worry about the matinees, and do one or two matinees down through the year.
I love myself. Anything that has my name I'm tickled to death.
I'm a passionate person. I'm a lot of things, like most people are. Most people are dynamic. The focus is not on me though, I'm a screen. The aim is to always keep myself in the position where the screen is clear.
I like pushing the envelope. I like pushing myself and the audience, whether it's a TV show or live. I like to throw people over the edge of the cliff and scare the wits out of them, but then pull them back and make them safe.
I'm kind of pleased with myself that I've got a tailor on Savile Row. I'm 68 years old. I deserve it.
I don't get into that second guessing of myself publicly.
I have not had the chance to go out there and do myself justice in an Olympic marathon yet. I have not been able to get to an Olympic marathon injury-free yet.
'Fast Food Nation' isn't about my journey into the dark world of fast food and the prison book is not about my journey into the prison world. I'm not using myself as any kind of narrative link.
Truthfully, I've never seen myself as being too thin. Sometimes I'll look at photos and be like, 'Oh, that's not a good look.' But generally speaking, I'm not too thin.
I need to set the record straight for myself.
If I drive myself to the brink of my ability, then I don't get stale or bored.
What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.
I've always just given myself to the band, if you know what I mean, and been busy with that.
I hate working out - I have to mentally push myself through it. I can get very whiny, saying things like, 'I can't do it!'
I have the wherewithal to challenge myself for my entire life. That's a great gift.
I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say.
I don't view myself as a political leftie. I view myself as a storyteller who is fair to both sides.
There are elements to my faith which are echoed very closely in the scripts that come through. I read certain moments, and I'm able to say, 'Yes, I recognize that. I champion that. I ally myself to that idea.' Then there are times where I don't. My feeling is, at this stage in my life, that it will be an ongoing struggle.
I don't see myself as a 'black actor,' I'm just Shemar Moore the actor.
I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.
Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.
I just can't seem to make myself care about what I look like when I am working out.
