Gaby Hoffmann Quotes

Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel, you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind, how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?

I stopped caring what people thought.

Maybe I don't take myself so seriously any more. And I don't care how I'm judged. I'm past all that.

Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.

I've spent a lot of time self-reflecting. Especially as an actor, you have to know yourself really well in order to do things effectively. And when I dress, I dress for me. I don't dress to make other people think that I'm this way or that way.

Don't worry about people knowing you. Make yourself worth knowing.

I've always been drawn to the message of 'Be yourself. Love yourself.' I need to be reminded of that all time.

Vanity destroys your work. That's the one thing you have to let go of as an actor. I don't care how sexy or beautiful any woman is. At the end of the day, she has to take her makeup off. At the end of the day, she's more than just pretty.

To me, a strong sense of self isn't believing in a lot.

Be comfortable in your skin.

I will never, ever sit here and say, 'Oh my God, I'm so confident now, I love myself', because I don't.

If you feel good about yourself on the inside, that's gonna show to people. I don't think it's all about makeup and hair and how you dress. I think it's more of an inner thing and how you feel about yourself and that's ultimately what will shine through no matter what.

What me and my girls are about is being confident in yourself.

I was raised by a woman who was her true and authentic self. So I feel like it's very important to put on for people who aren't that confident or people who don't realize the value in self-love.

It's fun to cast away concerns you might have about what other people think about you.
