Everybody has their own way of tapping into their realness.

Everyone has a private self and a public self.

It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the 'fronts' people assume before one another's eyes, and the 'front' a writer puts on the face of reality.

We all have our ambassador that we send forward into the world. We all have people we are varying degrees of real with. There's a public face we all wear. As I get older and more comfortable in my skin, I am trying to combine the two so the real me is there all the time.

I think a person has to just be herself.

Many people feel their outer self isn't the whole self.

Not in our make-up, to be sure - not in the pose which is preceded by the tantaras of a trumpet - do the essential traits in our character first reveal themselves. But truly in the little things the real self is exteriorised.

I don't have to put on a front. If I had to, it would be difficult and tiring.

The image you see of me out in public is really different from who I am in real life.

I've always viewed myself as a behind-the-scenes person rather than in front of the camera.
