I found the emotion that as an athlete you block out, and it really helped me to understand myself as a person. I'm a really emotional person and it helped make me a better person.
You can't hate/love others without loving/hating yourself first.
I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.
Can you truly love anyone if you do not first love yourself? If you hate yourself, can you love anyone else? If you do not accept all of who you are, can you accept anyone else? Hard questions. It remains to be seen whether I get any answers, hard, or otherwise.
I have myself to respect, but to myself I am not amiable; but my friend is my amiableness personified.
Of course we all know when music's too much in the head, and we define our greatest players by the way they are able to communicate directly from their emotional selves.
Falling in love is a narcissistic endeavor. You play the role of lover, and you find someone to act it out on.
I think that idea that sort of our emotional self and our emotional life is a faucet that you turn on and off, and that we are in control of it entirely, that's a really appealing idea for a lot of people. But there are certainly the times where it's appealing to me, but it never quite works the way I hoped it would.
What am I, a Frankenstein? What am I, some kind of an ogre? I'm a good person; I'm a warm person.
It is very difficult to accept in others emotions you cannot accept in yourself.
