I'd be on stage in Ireland performing for thousands of people and just not believing in what I'm doing at all. And it hurt, it hurt badly. I knew every day that I couldn't continue this way.
I kind of felt like I was never good enough. I always wanted more.
A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.
I'm not really satisfied with anything I have written to date.
I'll always have a chip on my shoulder until I hang my shoes up. No matter how long I play this game, the chip on my shoulder will always be there. That won't change.
I feel like whenever I do a movie, people think, 'Well, that's good, but that's probably the best he'll do.' I sort of bang and bang and kick in a door, and people say, 'Now a million doors will open for you.' And they don't.
I remember feeling that. I couldn't do, nor did I want to do, the kinds of roles I'd been doing.
I've had some ambivalent feelings about being an actor. I don't know that I've ever been totally and completely comfortable with it.
I'm a lot of things, but none of them are great.
Every time I bestow a vacant office I make a hundred discontented persons and one ingrate.
I may be a successful football player, but I feel like such a failure.
Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside.
Being a solo artist in general can be incredibly lonely. It's funny how often the bigger you get sometimes, the lonelier you feel.
During my freshman year of college, it became undeniably clear that I didn't want to be great again. I correlated greatness with misery.
I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.
You don't want a guy to be happy he's not starting.
I almost wish I could be more exciting, that I could match what is happening out there to me.
I thought my goal in life was to be in a successful band, and I had got that, but I was as miserable as I had ever been, and I couldn't understand why that would be.
I'm an actress but it's not fulfilling me in the way I thought it would.
I'm so proud of what we accomplished during our era of Colts football, but I think every person, down to the last man, would tell you that he expected to win more than one ring in Indy. If there's any regret I have from my career, it's that.
Luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy.
Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do as of doing the things they do not want to do.
I'm just this committed dilettante. I think what I've found is that I've tried to do a lot of different things in my life and discovered I'm not as good at them as I'd want to be.
I'm disappointed that success hasn't been a Himalayan feeling.
I look around at people who had success so early and then didn't know what to do with themselves.
