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.

I think self-criticism is sort of a given when you're an actor. It's also about being curious and not being flippant. Anyone who accepts being in this noble profession is automatically self-critical.

I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It's not the outside world - it's your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.

If I can avoid looking at myself, I will. I don't care to examine myself or see much of what I do. I never care how I look.

Years of standing in the limelight portraying other people for large amounts of money does not usually lead to a high degree of self-examination, let alone self-criticism.

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.

I'm usually very critical of myself.

I don't let negative criticism, for the most part, bother me.
