I'm not playing a role. I'm being myself, whatever the hell that is.
First of all, I always see the sun! The way I want to identify myself and others is with halos here and there halos, movements of color. And that, I believe, is rhythm.
I don't like talking about myself. I don't like talking about these introspective things.
Were I to put myself on... one of those online dating things, I would not include in my profile that I'm regularly hospitalized for psychosis. But I do know that when I get really bad, there is a place for me to go where I will feel better.
I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man.
I limited myself to introduce a change in my way of thinking and the way I see things. When I look at my child, I do it in a different way then when I'm contemplating a chair. They are different... the child is a living being, and the chair is an object.
I was asked to go to Cannes to present Amores Perros. And little did I know that this film would be huge. I saw it for the first time in Cannes, and it was the first time I'd seen myself on such a big screen. And it had a huge impact on me - it was the strangest feeling.
I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.
Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.
Me, myself, personally, I like to keep myself private. I have never said I am a paragon of virtue, a model of morality. I simply do what I do.
If there was a fire at my house I would throw more things on it. The only thing I would take out? Myself!
I write best when I sort of collide myself with another man. So I think, I hope, that a combination of me and Stieg Larsson will create something good.
I can cook really well. I started cooking as a kid, so I can fend for myself in the kitchen and even do a little gourmet action.
Thus, neither my government nor myself, personally, are without ideals and responsibilities.
I'm happiest on set because I'm not myself. I'm someone else. The moustache, the dinner jacket. It's not me. You're always this sort of double, and it's liberating. Imagine being stuck with yourself... all those doubts.
I don't see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf.
For years, I wasn't feeling good about myself. My head wasn't clear. I was doing nothing productive.
I call myself a FFP: former fat person, and when you're an FFP, you will always see in yourself what people used to bully you for.
Then I was working in a store in Newark, New Jersey, and I saw an actor in person, and I got so excited. My whole day changed. That's when I decided to challenge myself to make my dreams become a reality.
I don't wear a bikini on the beach. I walk around my house in pyjamas. I haven't seen myself naked in the mirror for probably a decade. I'm very prudish.
When I compete, I tell myself to be calm. It's not something that's the rest of your life. You're in gymnastics for fun.
I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.
Most of the worst things said about me, I've said myself.
I've always been an unselfish guy, and that's the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability - not only for myself but for my teammates.
When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn't know it!
I wanted to make an image for myself as an outlaw type. A kind of rock 'n' roll sensibility.
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
Playing in the National Football League, you're told, you know, where to be, when to be there, what to wear, how to be there. Being able to step away from that, I have an opportunity to look deeper into myself and look for what's real.
To outsiders it probably seems like splitting hairs, but to me, Bright Eyes is a simply the collaboration between myself and Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. What you hear is definitely the sum of all our ideas and represents all three of us. But I still write the songs myself.
I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.
I do know that there is no reason for me to drown myself from sorrow since I haven't yet tried to achieve anything great.
I look on myself as a sort of hybrid, having grown up in the world of Shakespeare out in the cornfields of Ohio.
I have to prove myself in a lot of ways - as an actor, as a person, as someone who can handle pressure.
I am a danger to myself if I get angry.
I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man or any of that. I'm a character actor.
The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
