I couldn't stand seeing myself on the screen. — © Eve Arden
I couldn't stand seeing myself on the screen.
If I don't like seeing myself on the screen, I think when I start seeing that, that's when I think I'll stop.
I never like seeing myself on screen.
I hate watching myself on screen. I can't stand it.
I don't like seeing myself on screen. Whenever I see or hear myself, I think, 'What is that eejet doing now?' I'm in the wrong business. I don't like the limelight.
Seeing myself on the screen makes me cringe. I understand that I am that way - pouty.
It's not seeing myself 40 feet tall on a movie screen - it's the work. That's what thrills me.
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it's really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.
On screen and off screen in WWE, seeing people reflect what our world looks like, that's the goal, and I'm excited to be a part of that.
I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, "Can I be of help?".

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.
My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.
The one thing I cannot stand is when I do interviews, when I interview people, and I listen to the tapes and I hear myself talking and sort of stumble and stammer, or I hear the horrible sound of my own voice, or God forbid I see myself on video, there is that complete revulsion with seeing how I occur in the world.
It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.
I don't consider myself a stand-up comedian. I consider myself a performer; a comic as opposed to stand-up comedian. Stand-up comedians stand there and do their bits; I break every rule in creation. If there's a rule that can be broken in stand-up, I'll do it.
I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.
