It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't a perfect thing at 17. I didn't have confidence. I was hunched over and real embarrassed, and I didn't want to be in the limelight. But it changed over time.
It is better to be young in your failures than old in your successes.
At 16, I was more resilient and easygoing than I am now.
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.
I know that I'm inadequate, but I never thought that at seventeen. I thought I was doing the best I could. I thought I was being idealistic.
It's failure, really, that you grow by, although nobody likes to experience it.
When I look back at my life now, I'm not amazed by what I did at 16 to 21.
The young must be prepared to experience innumerable disappointments and yet not fail.
Failure is fantastic, because you meet yourself and get to know your limitations. This is how I express myself, and I can't do it any other way.
Even as far back as when I started acting at 14, I know I've never considered failure.
