Yourself Quotes

The hardest audience is yourself.

These quotes turn inward — an actor describing the fear that comes before any audience does, and thoughts on the quiet value of lowering the noise and simply listening more closely. For more on inner confidence, see Feel quotes.

Quotes by Tricia Helfer

Being naive I think is how you construct new music. When you start thinking too much what is it you're doing? You're just making an album. You're not doing brain surgery. If you take it too seriously you start taking...

Quotes by Travis Tritt

Quotes by Treat Williams

Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. You have to see how you're carrying yourself because there's a little girl. There's not a little boy, there's a little girl. I think I'm a little more overprotective.

Quotes by Tracy Morgan

Where do you go after something like 'Pacific Rim?' Which, for me, was such a moment, to have this thing and see it all come together, and it's big, and it has this cult following... You ask yourself, 'What's next?'

Quotes by Travis Beacham

'Tell me about yourself.' When interviewers ask this, they don't want to hear about everything that has happened in your life; the interviewer's objective is to see how you respond to this vague yet personal question.
