I've been trying to figure out for at least the last 10 years how to force myself into something more risky.

I don't want to make the same mistakes of being swept along with things, taking on jobs that I'm not passionate about, that I don't really believe in but that everyone says I should do.

If you don't believe in yourself, somewhere or another, you sabotage yourself.

I'm not afraid to take chances or go off on my own.

I want to be in control of my own destiny.

I'm trying to eliminate every vestige of my own personality, style, approach and get into somebody else's skin. Sometimes I feel I've accomplished it. But when I don't, I'm nobody at all, having left myself at home.

I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.

You have to find the place where you abandon everything of yourself. Then you can let something else happen.

Sometimes I really wish that I could sit back and enjoy it, live in the moment more. But I am terrified, and I want to better myself, not that I want to prove anything to anyone other than myself. I am ambitious, and there are many things I want to do. It doesn't get any easier.
