I wish somebody would have told me, 'Don't try too hard,' because when I was younger I wanted to try really hard. I wanted to please everybody and be this perfect, polite little girl.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Growing up, I wanted desperately to please, to be a good girl.
It gradually dawned upon me that there was no one more difficult to please than my mother.
I wish I was harder; I wish I didn't care so much about being the nice girl all the time because a lot of the time people can take kindness for weakness, so I wish I had a little bit more 'oomph' in me.
I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.
In all kinds of ways, I used to be really, really hard on myself.
I've now discovered that if you know what you want and try hard to achieve it, everyone else will try hard, too.
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
I'm content with the fact that I made a decent effort. That's what I've always worried about: that I wouldn't try hard enough.
I wanted to direct more than I wanted to act. And I found I couldn't do everything.
I've never tried too hard.
