Seth MacFarlane Quotes

I am unfortunately a perfectionist at heart, so it's really hard to allow myself to not be good.

I always see something for sure one time and then I make myself see it a second time. Because second time is like, 'OK, I'm not that bad. I'm not that horrible.' But the first time I just think I'm god-awful.

I think I'm great. I mean, I might as well come out and say it. Like most people, I have an ego and I'm in show business, so you have to have kind of a healthy, conflagrated ego to a degree. On the other hand, I'm consumed, like a lot of people, with self-doubt and loathing and guilt.

I wonder, 'Why did I do that line that way?' And I also constantly think I'm fat and hate my teeth. But I've gotten better over the years. I've started to accept.

I think the hardest thing to overcome is judging yourself and being your own worst critic so to speak.

I'm not quite as cool as I would like to be, really.

I'm not hard on myself - I brush those things off - but there are days when I'm pleased with myself, and days when I think I have elf ears.

All through my twenties, I spent more time worrying what I didn't have than thinking about what I did have. I wished that I was taller, had longer legs, slimmer hips, a smaller bottom, even straighter hair.

I'm never impressed with myself!

It can get really messy inside my head, and it's usually just because everybody can get really self-centered at some point. And so what usually keeps me from quitting is that my reasons for quitting are just lame. I wouldn't want anybody else to talk to myself the way that I talk to myself.

I don't get along much with myself.

I need to learn to be happy and enjoy the achievement rather than already thinking about what I could have done better.

I'm hard on myself.

I never give myself enough credit.

No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.

I don't like my voice. I don't like the way I look. I don't like the way I move. I don't like the way I act. I mean, period. So, you know, I don't like myself.

I don't hate myself, as a general rule. I'd say the best way to describe it is that I have moments of self-loathing at fairly regular intervals.

I stopped beating up on myself. I stopped asking myself why I didn't sell this number of records, why I don't have corporate sponsorship. I just don't buy into any of that anymore.

I think that all bodies are beautiful in millions of different ways but I get down on myself too!

The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.

We have no faith in ourselves. I have never met a woman who, deep down in her core, really believes she has great legs. And if she suspects that she might have great legs, then she's convinced that she has a shrill voice and no neck.

I'm too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I'm getting to do something I love.

I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.

The time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else's attitude was time I could put to better use.

I kind of learned that I am way too tough of a critic on myself and that other people are not judging me as harshly as I judge myself, so I need to give myself a break.
