I want to follow my dreams. I want to make sure that I put myself first and accomplish what I need to accomplish.

I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time.

I'm hard on myself, so I'm working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself.

I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that's what I do.

There are lots of people I admire and respect, but I don't necessarily want to be like them. I'm too happy being myself.

For years I tried to put myself in a box, and it frustrated me, so I had to let go and let the universe take its course.

I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.

I love challenging myself, doing different things, and exploring different areas that I haven't been to or gone to before.

Even at my lowest point, when I've wanted to give up, I know that I have to believe in myself because I'm all that I have.

I give myself a cheat day where I annihilate my diet. I'm an all-American girl, so I go for a burger and fries and a shake.

It sounds corny, but I've promised my inner child that never again will I ever abandon myself for anything or anyone else again.

I think I'm good at looking moody. I'm not much good at analysing myself, but I tend to fit the strange and tortured characters.

It took me years to realize that 'normal' is actually super boring and that being myself was harder but infinitely more rewarding.

I learned patience, perseverance, and dedication. Now I really know myself, and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I feel I'm anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures, I never see myself; they aren't self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear.

I am not competing with anyone. I am competing with myself. When I wake up every day I am only worried about how I can better myself.

I feel confident imposing change on myself. It's a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That's why I need to throw curve balls.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord's vengeance, I myself don't like it.

The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.

To me, being beautiful is just accepting myself. I feel beautiful when I'm wearing makeup; I feel beautiful when I'm not wearing makeup.

There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

My whole thing is to inspire, to better people, to better myself forever in this thing that we call rap, this thing that we call hip hop.

Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.

Before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.

Humility is a super-important factor in all of our lives, and I try to remind myself every evening in front of the mirror, 'Just calm down.'

As I get older, the more I stay focused on the acceptance of myself and others, and choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something's not good enough, and I won't stop until I feel like I've made it. I'm never satisfied.

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.

I'm not that conservative. I do feel - I guess I'm more of a Democrat at heart, although I've never affiliated myself with a particular party.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.

I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.

Myself when young did eagerly frequent doctor and saint, and heard great argument about it and about: but evermore came out by the same door as in I went.

You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, 'I'm proud of what I am and who I am, and I'm just going to be myself.'

Being honest with myself is something I like. I am happy that I don't make excuses when I make a mistake. This is a good way to improve in the fastest way.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

Very smart people are often tricked by hackers, by phishing. I don't exclude myself from that. It's about being smarter than a hacker. Not about being smart.

The energy you give off is the energy you receive. I really think that, so I'm always myself - JUMPING, dancing, singing around, trying to cheer everybody up.

Maybe some people think that it's all about the hype, about the fame, but it's not. It's all about being the best. It's all about challenging myself everyday.
