'Cars 2' is about a character learning to be himself. There's times in our lives where people always say, 'Well, you've gotta act differently. You should always be yourself.' That's the emotional core of the story.
Don't be ashamed to position yourself in a circle of people who are doing better than you. Great minds will always motivate you to push yourself to the limit.
If you can't find good friends to surround yourself with, then by all means be on your own. Bad friends corrupt good minds.
Stop focusing so much on what is on the outside and start getting to know yourself better on the inside. Your true purpose in life lies in your inner positive voices.
I think that part of the difficulty of being a celebrity is that you may have to hide what you're feeling and you aren't totally allowed to be yourself, because you're in the public eye.
Delighting in the Lord, knowing His Word, and committing yourself to Him are ways to ensure that your plans and desires for yourself match God’s plans.
Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it's far removed from your situation.
There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.

The way you get to know yourself is by the expressions on other people's faces, because that's the only thing that you can see, unless you carry a mirror about.
I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.
You just have to believe in yourself when you've got something, and just keep pounding on the door, because if you pound long enough, somebody is going to open it.
When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself.
You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.
I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you're putting yourself out there all the time, you're not holding anything back.
