I am responsible for no one but myself.

I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.

It's easier to be responsible for the decisions that you've made yourself than for the ones that other people have made for you.

I do not take up a responsibility unless I am sure of putting my heart and soul into it.

The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.

Anyone in public life who comes out, comes out primarily for themselves, and their life is immediately improved. That's what happened to me.

Responsible choice involves consequences, not the least of which are relinquishments all along our way.

You've got to take responsibility for your own actions. We all know people who reach rock bottom. However much that they're told that what they're doing is harming their own life or whatever, you cannot make someone do it unless that person reaches the point where they know that they have to deal with it themselves.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
