Robert Sheckley Quotes

I certainly don't think of myself as an action hero.

I think we all see ourselves as the heroes in our own lives.

Body image has a lot to do with where you're coming from personally.

I don't think I'm beautiful. When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me.

The actor has a constant problem of personal identity.

Kids love to look at pictures of themselves.

I think I am one of those who can manage not to take on a completely different appearance under their own glance.

I think it's somebody else's job to decide what my image is.

With a fractured sense of self, we come to depend on what people feed back to us - often mediated through social networks - not what we are. We have complex identities but may become less able to act as a subject - confident in what we really are.

I've never thought of myself as just an actor.

I don't need much of a character in my life. I've already got one; my family knows who I am, and I don't have a reason to make an impression on the world around me unless it's in a professional context. Acting is not a personal experience; it's a job.

If you don't read it, you don't know. I mean, that's why I have a PR team. They read it and tell me if there's something, and that keeps you focused. I know my family and me well enough; why do I need to read about myself? I'm not going to change, I'm very stubborn in this way. I am what I am.
