I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race.

I suffered from self hatred so much. It's like I didn't want to look like that any more. I didn't to feel like that any more. It had to be another way.

I don't hate myself anymore. I used to hate my work, hated that sexy image, hated those pictures of me onstage, hated that big raunchy person. Onstage, I'm acting the whole time I'm there. As soon as I get out of those songs, I'm Tina again.

I hate to talk about myself.

I used to think I was ugly. I thought I looked like a camel. A person who doesn't love themselves, they will see anything that pops up on their face. I've seen squirrels, I've seen a bird, and I've seen all kinds of animals on my face. But that is the result of self-hate. I've learned to say: 'You know what? I am a beautiful black woman'.

I hate everybody.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

Everything that I hate about myself goes away when I was onstage.

The main thing I don't like about myself is an absurd level of self-consciousness that makes any sort of social encounter an ordeal for me.
