Bobby Davro Quotes

My biggest enemy for the longest time was my head. When I first became successful, it made me anxious because I was overthinking everything, and you hear so many 'fail' stories.

I'm always thinking 'Don't mess this up.'

I've worried more and more as the years have gone on. The more you're seen to be doing well, the more stress there is. You feel you ought to consider things more, and be more fussy - there's further to fall. All these little worries.

I stress out a lot. Being a perfectionist doesn't help with that!

If you're going to worry about what people say, you're never going to make any progress.

I criticise myself an awful lot. I do worry to the point that I don't think it's very healthy. I'm always picking my flaws. It's a terrible anxiety I have. I wish I could pretend nothing fazes me, but it does.

I'm a super-duper over-analyzer. You mix that with self-doubt and pressure, and that's never healthy.

I struggle with perfection.

Anxiety and doubt are among my biggest struggles as a writer.

I always make things worse than they are or create problems that aren't there. And going and doing some simple task becomes a problem. I start imagining problems that aren't there. What people are going to think, who's going to judge me and am I going to be good enough? Am I worthy?

Writing on assignment, with lots of money handed to you before you even began, got very scary for me. My dread of not being perfect, something I got from a childhood surrounded by powerful, successful people, began to infect everything I wrote.

I'm a bit of a worrier, to an extreme. I'll crack a joke, then worry if I've offended someone - even when they're laughing. I have a guilt complex, always worrying.

I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.

If I make a wrong decision, I worry what might have been. I stress out over very insignificant things.

I play with a fear of letting people down. That's what motivates me.

I'm one of those people who lies awake all night and worries about all the horrible things that can go wrong, whether a comma was wrong.

I know now that much of the pressure that resulted in my breakdown was self-imposed. I didn't let myself enjoy the opportunities I was given, choosing instead to doubt myself.

Pressure comes from fear. If you start thinking about the result or what might happen if you do something, that's the only time there's pressure.

It stresses me out if I mess up.

This constant feeling of, 'I have to have everything figured out' is not going to get anyone anywhere.

I'm constantly anxious about making mistakes.

I had intense anxiety, just with the acting and expectations. Am I good enough for this? This is so big. I'm on the cover of four magazines right now. Am I worthy of this? You question everything about yourself, and I did that. I put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure that I had the body and all of that.

When you try to worry about missteps and all that kind of stuff, that's not the healthiest way to be.
