Not caring more about what other people think than what you think. That's freedom.

You have to acknowledge a problem exists before you can actually go about finding a solution.

Like many people, I think I'm my own worst critic. And I think I take a lot out in an internally abusive way, looking at how I measure up, which usually was never enough. I never, never was as good as someone else.

I don't know if I personally instill a fear in people, but I think that there are things that I have been involved in that perhaps stir up their own personal fears.

I have a passion for my work, and that sometimes triggers creative conflicts.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

In the end the only thing that you can have on your side is time. The only way to gain time is by living it. And if I live expending my energy worrying about other people's perceptions, then I'm missing my moment.
