of

quotes
that
will
inspire
you.
Selfless
But
Confident
Actor
"I
am
an
extremely
selfless
but,
at
the
same
time,
supremely
confident
actor."
Failure
Is
A
Part
Of
Life
"Failure
is
a
given
part
of
life.
There
is
no
way
you
can
control
the
future.
The
only
thing
you
can
control
is
how
you
get
over
it."
Value
For
Animals’
Lives
"Animals
feel
pain,
just
as
people
do.
They
value
their
lives,
just
as
we
value
ours.
I
hope
you'll
also
make
the
compassionate
choice
and
go
vegetarian."
Confidence
"Don't
waste
too
much
time
analysing
what
went
wrong.
Reliving
your
failures
only
chips
away
at
your
confidence."
Realisation
Of
Your
Boundaries
"Success,
or
the
lack
of
it,
has
a
way
to
make
you
realise
what
your
boundaries
are."
