The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.
The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don’t have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as heck we should never teach.
If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one’s own self.
Home is that youthful region where a child is the only real living inhabitant. Parents, siblings, and neighbors are mysterious apparitions who come, go, and do strange unfathomable thing in and around the child, the region’s only enfranchised citizen.
We really are 15 countries, and it’s remarkable that each of us thinks we represent the real America. The Midwesterner in Kansas, the black American in Durham – both are certain they are the real American.
If somebody rejects you or your choices, you are still real, and you are still worth every bit as much as you would be if you had not been rejected.
Real power comes when we stop holding others responsible for our pain, and we take responsibility for all our feelings.
Even if the most important person in your world rejects you, you are still real, and you are still okay.
There was Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, an aloof superstar who had everything and needed no one. And Michael Jackson, the shy kid under the mask, who lacked even a single real friend.
I put real pressure on myself and I demand the best out of myself.
Real charity is giving from the heart without taking credit.
I love Switzerland. It’s so clean and cool. We don’t get much snow where I live so I get real excited in Lausanne and Geneva. I’d like to buy a house there when I’m older and settle down. It’s all so cute that it looks like a movie set.
I’m a collector of cartoons. All the Disney stuff, Bugs Bunny, the old MGM ones. It’s real escapism, it’s like everything’s alright. It’s like the world is happening now in a far away city. Everything’s fine.
This extravagant dwelling, as domineering as it was distant, brought home to me the intimateconnection between tyranny and abstraction, and put me in mind of John Berger’s observation that “abstraction’s capacity to ignore what is real is undoubtedly where most evil begins.”
I am going to say something I have never said before and this is the truth. I have no reason to lie to you and God knows I am telling the truth. I think all my success and fame and I have wanted it, I have wanted it because I wanted to be loved. That’s all. That’s the real truth.
The deeper I go into myself, the stronger I become, because I realize that my real self is much bigger than any fear.
The main thing that I hate the most is ignorance, like the prejudice problems of America. I know it is worse in some other countries. But I wish I could borrow, like from Venezuela or Trinidad, the real love of color-blind people and bring it to America.
I truly love my fans. Truly, truly from the heart. That’s the real truth. I love them.
Nothing’s real, but all is possible if God is on my side.
I love putting on an outfit or a costume and just looking at myself in the mirror. Baggy pants or some real funky shoes and a hat and just feeling the character of it. That’s fun to me.
