We probably wouldn't worry about what people think of us if we could know how seldom they do.

More often than we realize, people see in us what we don't see in ourselves.

I don't think of myself all the time.

Most people don't walk around knowing what other people think about them, and I don't think it's healthy to know what faceless strangers who you'll never meet say about you.

I think we must all feel that there are people out there who know things about our young selves, you know, our early, early lives, that no one else can ever know.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself.

I don't know what people who I've never met think about me. Some have written horrible things, some have written nice things - but I'm proud of the fact I've remained close to everyone I've ever worked with.

People don't know about the human part of me that really cares about the world. For instance, I don't know what I feel about wearing my furs anymore. I worked so hard to have a fur coat, and I don't want to wear it anymore because I'm so wrapped up in the animals. I have real deep thoughts about it because I care about the world and nature.

Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?

I often worry that my idea of personhood is nostalgic, irrational, inaccurate.
