Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
That's a lovely starting point for me as an actor: the question of what will we - or can we - do with this lot of years with which we're blessed? More than my other films, 'The Danish Girl' is about the gigantic risks involved in being true to one's self.
Above all, do not lie to yourself.
I think being true to yourself is ultimately the best way of living.
Life would be so much harder if I had to lie about who I was.
When in doubt, tell yourself the truth.
Swavey is the movement. Three words... It's Unique, it's true, and it's yourself. It's a very unique thing: it's true to yourself, and it's all about you just being yourself.
Do be true to yourself, whether it's bad doesn't matter. The important thing - you have to copy while you're studying. And culture is - each of us - is like one pearl added to another to make a chain. We each contribute to the other. And that's all right. But once you're on your own, do that which comes from within. And I feel this very strongly.
I just need to know that I did the very best I could and that I was true to myself.
Well, if you're true to yourself you're going to be true to everyone else.
I think that by staying true to myself and making music from my heart, the blessings come.
When will women begin to have the first glimmer that above all other loyalties is the loyalty toTruth, i.e., to yourself, that husband, children, friends and countryare as nothing to that.
Being true to yourself really means being true to all the complexities of the human spirit.
We're trying to say that if you, in love, when you're not true to yourself, the love won't last. Because love is complex, and we always have the dark sides and the sad sides.
We all have our own paths. That's the important thing of this movie. God's waiting there for everybody. Be true to who you are and true to your values - not to media, not to the influence of friends necessarily or people even that you admire. Be true to your heart and you'll find that path.
I have to be true to myself, and that's what I know for sure. I can't try to be anybody else.
Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.
I know unless I'm true to myself I couldn't be happy. Too much emphasis is placed today on externals and too little on character.
You must be true to yourself. Strong enough to be true to yourself. Brave enough to be strong enough to be true to yourself. Wise enough to be brave enough to be strong enough to shape yourself from what you actually are.
Honesty is telling the truth to ourselves and others. Integrity is living that truth.
We might as well be true with ourselves.
I'm not two-faced, I'm honest, and I tell it the way it is. And I'm not good at hypocrisy, pretending to be someone I'm not.
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
For us there is but one crime: to be untrue to ourselves.
If you're an actor, always be true to your character. If you are not an actor, have character and always be true to yourself.
