I've never lost perspective on who I am. Well, maybe briefly, but generally I'm pretty balanced.

I've been criticized for not having perspective in the past and I thought that of myself many times but not there.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.

There is undoubtedly a lot of pressure that comes with recognition, which can be a good thing and bad thing all at the same time. But if you stay focused and don't lose sight of what you're doing and who you are, you can rise above it.

If I meet other people and criticize their weaknesses, I rob myself of higher cognitive power. But if I try to enter deeply and lovingly into another person's good qualities, I gather in that force.

I actually had someone say to me, 'Lynn, you're going to have very good days, and you're going to have very bad days. But It's rare that things are as good as they look, and it's rare that things are as bad as they seem.' So having perspective, and challenging perspective, is important to making good decisions.

I think it's going to take my whole life to sort of get people to know what my perspective is.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.

I try and stay positive; being negative isn't good for my personality. I don't just bring myself down, I bring everyone around me down. It's like a dark cloud, 'Uh oh, here we go,' and have to snap out of it.

People are always wanting to pull me up on my shortfalls. I try to battle against those and concentrate on how good things are.
