I'm a very shy person and I never tried to do theater.

I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself. So failure or reversal does not bring out resentment in me because I cannot blame others for any misfortune that befalls me.

I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.
