SIN: Self-Inflicted Nonsense
I don't know an actor who hasn't let himself down at some point. I imagine it's the same in politics. There's always the potential to self sabotage.
In spite of really intense competition for the job, I'm still my own worst enemy.
You will find that our enemies are our own kin. It is they who betray us. So learn this most important lesson-in the end, our worst enemy is ourselves
Yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.
I stand in my own way on a daily basis. I don't know if this is something I will ever overcome completely, and I'm oddly okay with that.
The ego is your enemy, not your friend. It is the ego that gives you wounds and hurts you. It is the ego that makes you violent, angry, jealous, competitive. It is the ego that is continuously comparing and feeling miserable.
I always have strong urges to sabotage myself. Whenever someone says they like something about my music, I tend to not want to do that anymore. It's not even that I don't like it anymore: it's that I keep trying to find ways for people to dislike me.
I have a tendency to dip my foot in self-destructive behavior.
I think we all carry the seeds of our own destruction. You really have to be aware that just because something is good, it doesn't mean it's not going to trigger a self-destructive impulse.
It's been said to me that I'm self-destructive because I'll walk away from things that are good.
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
What feeds me destroys me.
You not only are hunted by others, you unknowingly hunt yourself.
