You wait a lifetime to meet someone who understands you, accepts you as you are. At the end, you find that someone, all along, has been you.
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
You can make a thousand promises to yourself that you'll take that same fantastic love and give it to someone else, but the moment you see that person with someone else, it's like a gut full of razorblades. It never gets easier. And it shouldn't, really.
Don't wait around for someone else to tell your story. Do it yourself by whatever means necessary.
It takes a lot for you to find your confidence, but you shouldn't let someone else be the person to find it for you.
I auditioned for 'The Office,' and I don't know if it was a role I could do, but I liked the character. You do one take, and you're reading with a person who's just sitting in a chair and not really... you're not playing off someone, which is what I like to do. I like to play around and find the moment.
Still, it's an interesting technique-leaving one person behind in order to find her or him somewhere else. And in someone else.
There's a moment in every romantic comedy when a person sees something in someone else that nobody else sees.
That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that youre supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time.
I spent a lifetime giving my power away, assuming that everybody knew better what was right for me than me. And then there comes a point in your life you go, Oh, wait a second! There's an a-ha moment when you realize that the only person that can delegate your future is you.
Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise.
A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work, whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.
Do not look around at what everyone else is doing. No one is asking you to be someone else. But the world does need you to be you, because you are the only one who can do the job. Be the person God created you to be. He made you exactly right.
Yes, it gets better, but I also understand that saying to a 15-year-old that, 'Oh, don't worry, just wait a year', is like saying 'Wait a lifetime', but every single person has the right to go to school and not be afraid.
It's true that charisma can make a person stand out for a moment, but character sets a person apart for a lifetime.
To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.
