To wake up in England and have the newspaper on your front door with a headline that says, 'Ozzie's Beach Whale of a Daughter,' doesn't really do much for your self-esteem at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a kid who didn't have a lot of self-esteem.
There are a lot more tabloids in England that like to report other things in your life, some of which are true and some of which are exaggerated and untrue. There have been stories where people claim to have seen me in one place and I wasn't even in that city then. The Aussie press is more judgmental and moralistic.
I am not someone who throws around the word 'self-esteem.' It is a fictional description.
Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.
I got the wake-up call that no one is policing our oceans. I wondered, how can I do anything? What really can I do to make things better? There are some perks to being a celebrity. My job is to be funny once in a while, but it's my responsibility to make good use of it.
The idea of exposing the British public to the full breadth of my personality isn't a good one.
Celebrity gives us delusion of self importance.
Self-esteem comes quietly, like the truth.
Self-pity is never useful. It tends to distort like a fun-house mirror.
Although it's not something I'm particularly proud of, I'm willing to admit that, in addition to whiling away the long stretches of time in the air and waiting in airport lounges reading the 'New Yorker' and 'New York Times' on my Kindle, I've picked up the occasional tabloid magazine.
