Always be yourself express yourself have faith in yourself do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.

God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser it's like living fertiliser because you're forced on yourself.

Before I was married I didn't consider my failure to manage even basic hand tools a feminist inadequacy. I thought it had more to do with being Jewish. The Jews I knew growing up didn't do 'do-it-yourself.' When my father needed to hammer something he generally used his shoe and the only real tool he owned was a pair of needle-nose pliers.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star whatever that means you might be setting yourself up for failure.

If you've gone into a marriage and you haven't been clear about how you're going to handle money how you want to raise kids who is going to work or stay home or what have you then you've set yourself up for failure.

As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.
