I need to learn to be more assertive.
There is a fine line between assertiveness and being relaxed.
I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.
People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused.
I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.
One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody.
People accuse me of being Methody, but I'm not at all. The one thing I don't want people to see is me. I don't want them to be able to recognize my faults and failures and qualities, and I won't use those things to spark off emotions or to illustrate.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
You have to assert something about yourself in order to be yourself.
I've worked very hard at understanding myself, learning to be assertive. I'm past the point where I worry about people liking me.
