La La Anthony Quotes

I had the feeling I was going to be successful, and I didn't want to be another disappointing Indian.

I've been told if you're an actress you can't sing, if you're a dancer you can't act, you can't do theatre and be respected if you've done a TV soap, you can't have a No. 1 record. All these different things they've told me I can't do, but I wanted to do them, so I've done them.

I think of things as competition when people say you can't do something.

My entire life I've proved that I'm able to overcome people's negativity toward me.

If anyone tells you that you can't achieve your dreams, or puts you down, make your hand into a claw and tell them you're a little monster and you can do whatever the f*** you want.

You're dumb, but don't give in.

Don't give to anyone the power to put you down. Haters are losers pretending to be winners.

I was told over and over again that I would never be successful, that I was not going to be competitive and the technique was simply not going to work. All I could do was shrug and say "We'll just have to see".

Silence your critics. Ignore your haters. Delete your cynics.

Don’t let people’s stereotypes or stigmas or words—don’t let that put you in a box. Don’t let that ruin your day.

From now on, I want you to practice reframing other people's negativity as a reminder of how not to be.

Hate knows that love is the cure.

Start small, make a promise and keep it. Then, make larger promises and keep them. Eventually, your honor will become greater than your moods or your circumstances, which includes your medical condition and other people's stereotypic observations. Once you overcome this comparison based mentality, your confidence will soar.

I'm a role model. I have overcome the negativity, and I'm playing.

If you pay too much attention to hate, they win...they bring you down. Too much love in the world to deal with that nonsense. Be positive.

Don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers.

Do not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings, or anybody at all, destroy your confidence or affect your growth as a blooming flower. It is very normal for one ugly weed to not want to stand alone.

Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.

It's hard to stay positive when there's a lot of evil in the world.

Remember that you can do anything you want to do. Don't let anyone say, 'You're not smart enough... it's too hard... it's a dumb idea... no one has done that before... girls don't do that.'

I had a lot of negativity growing up, so I understand how to block the negativity out.

We must all wage an intense, lifelong battle against the constant downward pull. If we relax, the bugs and weeds of negativity will move into the garden and take away everything of value.

There's so much negativity in the world and what you only need to hear is all the love. People try to say to me, 'I just heard someone say this or that about you,' and I just ignore it because it's irrelevant. Love is what makes the world go around, and that's all we need to focus on.

Just never give up. Try to believe in yourself and don't let negativity wear you down.
