When you are young you don't always realise how full of doubts everybody is. — © Helen Dunmore
When you are young you don't always realise how full of doubts everybody is.
Everybody doubts themselves. Every writer doubts themselves, every artist doubts himself, and every football player does.
I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.
I don't think we realise just how fast we go until you stop for a minute and realise just how loud and how hectic your life is, and how easily distracted you can get.
Everybody has their doubts in their 20s, but I've always loved sort of having a sense of direction.
We've always had the blame-America crowd. We've always had the hate-America crowd. But we've now had at least two generations of education where this has been indoctrinated into the young skulls full of mush of young people. They've heard how horrible America was back in the days of slavery. They've heard how horrible America treated women. They've heard how horrible every minority group was treated. They've heard how mean-spirited the founders were. They've heard all kinds of literal lies.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
I always knew I'd be an actor. I always knew I'd at least be on a big screen somewhere. Everyone else I was watching, they were cool, but I thought that I could bring something fresh and new, even when I was really young. I didn't really know how it was going to pan out, for sure, but I always knew that one day I would be on the big screen. I had no doubts in my mind.
A true champion knows how to overcome doubts and manage those doubts and turn them into motivation.
I have a conviction that it's only when you are put at full stretch that you can realise your full potential.
I didn't realise how my life was changing. When I was 17, 18, 20, I didn't realise how big football was and everything around football. How many people live for football and love football. I was a professional, but I was a supporter.
The world has been set up in such a way that we don't even realise how ingrained certain things are, like how much we live in a patriarchal society or how institutional racism is ingrained in how we see the world. We don't realise how many things are being set in stone, in our heads.
Young players have to realise pretty quickly that it is not about one game, but how you perform over the whole season.
First we have to understand what doubts and fears are, how anxiety and doubts and fears come about. They are a psychic disease.
That everybody can do something, without regard to how old or young they are, rich or poor or middle class they are, how busy or not busy they are and what level skills they have. Everyone can do something. And everybody should do something. ... And if you do it, you'll be happier.
