Justin Hartley Quotes

It's hard to feel comfortable in your own skin when you're younger.

Feeling comfortable in my own skin has never been easy for me.

Maybe I am a little bit guilty of trying to convince myself that I am cool to this point - even today. But I am so much more healthy than I used to be in my twenties, because I was not accepted at all.

I was always so big, it took me a long time to grow into my body.

I'm learning to accept everything that I am. I've accepted that I'm not going to be a stick-thin-model kind of girl. When I was 14, I was tall and spindly. By the time I turned 18, I had become a woman, and my body's not going to go back to what it looked like when I was 14.

I really wasn't heavy in high school. But no one feels right in their own skin, particularly in high school.

I was over-confident while growing up. I think when you look a certain way, you try and compensate by something else. I was always a strong child, was always confident, but looks never mattered to me.

I think that when a person is insecure about who they are or who they want to be, then it translates on screen, and the choices they make are all about perception.

I never thought I was pretty enough. I was kind of tall and lanky. I don't mind it now, but back in the day I hated it. I would tell myself that what I think is ugly at 17 is actually what's going to be pretty about me later.

I always talk with models and they always tell me how awful it was growing up being tall and skinny. Then when you're older, you're really glad. I think it's nice to have been through a terrible time and then all of a sudden be so lucky because then you appreciate it.

Height has been very, very central to the development of my personality.

Well, I don't think I'm good-looking... I know people who are good-looking, and I'm not good-looking.

I was so much more insecure at 19. Thank God. It would be really cruel if there were a 19-year-old walking around with my confidence.

I didn't want to be looked at. I remember when I was six or seven asking my mom why people were looking at me. She said, 'They're looking at you because you're a beautiful little girl.' But I didn't believe her. And yet I put myself in a business where people have to look at you. I think I learnt to block it out.

I say whatever I want, I look whatever I want. That doesn't mean I don't question myself and feel insecure.

As I get older, I'm more comfortable in my skin.

I love playing strong feisty women, I really do, but if you were to ask my husband he'd probably say that I'm very insecure. And actually incredibly malleable, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I don't always understand my worth.

There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.

I wish my 15-year-old self had known about my allure to the opposite sex!

I always thought my jaw line was manly. I have this pockmark on my chin from when I was 9. I used to get freaked out about it because people thought it was a pimple. But those are the things I've become really comfortable with as I've gotten older. My scars.

If I saw my 15-year-old self now, I'd think I wasn't that bad, but back then I perceived myself as awful.

I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it's really not that bad.

I'm quite confident with the way that I look but you find something else to focus on don't you if, I mean I, I have body issues that's my thing so you find something to focus on when you're a perfectionist, I think.

I wasn't attractive when I was growing up, and I don't think I am now.
