Being abandoned by my mother gives me a sense of insecurity that I will never recover from. I have to try and recreate that balance by trying to create a sense of self-worth. And yes, being on stage is a part of that.

I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.

No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.

Don't try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

The greatest antidote to insecurity & sense of fear is compassion. It brings one back to the basis of one's inner strength.

The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite. You should feel like the people who are watching care about you. This is something we can try to give each other - the feeling that eyes signal support, not disdain.
