Personal Quotes

If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.

I don’t always like my own behavior. I haven’t known anyone who is perfect all the time.

You can’t predict what someone else is going to do and when someone else is going to leave.

I try to stay focused on my life and do try not to be brought into the Hollywood fantasy.

You don’t want to get rid of your experiences, because they’re your experiences – good or bad – and you need them, but it would be great if they weren’t on the video shelf!10Source: azquotes.com
