I always treated writing as a profession, never as a hobby. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.
I think pop culture underestimates people. The message is, 'Being yourself is the worst thing you could possibly be.' But people are still attracted to it.
Part of the philosophy of 'The Dice Man' is that you have got to be laughing at yourself at every moment and be free of yourself at every moment.
I was saying earlier that it's really strange - you can almost step outside yourself and observe yourself running, and that's what I was doing.
And because no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself and your dream, New York will always be the place for you.
It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.
I think the only way you can really grow is if you push yourself and put yourself in uncomfortable positions and doing things that you're not used to; it's exciting.
Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful, magical person that your are.
If you keep on saying a single thing to yourself, you are likely to attract it to yourself, dreaming it always, then in a twinkle of an eye, it comes to you.
Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work.
Surround yourself with great people; delegate authority; get out of the way
Ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect
My advice is don't keep asking yourself if you can do something. Just get out there and do it. You can really surprise yourself.
Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. Pick people who are interested in what you're interested in.
Sometimes you need to take a break from everyone and spend time alone, to experience, appreciate and love yourself.
It's difficult to not be able to just be yourself without criticism in any position, whether you're in high school, college, or this industry.
Confidence is nothing more than believing in yourself, and believing in yourself is about doing the things you once didn’t believe you could do
You can understand a lot about yourself by working out which fairytale you use to present your world to yourself in.
When you do reality, you have to be pretty careful. You have to almost monitor yourself to make sure that you don't get yourself in situations that you shouldn't.
You can NEVER be like someone else! Just be yourself and you will find that you'll be much happier that way and accomplish more as well.
You project a version of yourself to the public to protect and insulate yourself a little bit. Actors come up with a version of themselves in order to protect the real person.
