Ginnifer Goodwin Quotes

I'm coming from a place of total strength and humility now.

At first, I was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you. But I dared myself to do that, to stand out. Now I'll talk about being beaten up or robbed or making a stupid decision because of a girl or whatever.

I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there, and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.

We need to find the courage to say no to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.

I've fully embraced who I am. I stopped fighting with people and just come to realize, 'This is me. This is all of me.'

The best gift you can give yourself is getting over the fear of embarrassment because then you're completely free to try anything.

The staging for 'Monsters' is all about me getting free. In the beginning I'm like tied, in a dark place... until I am scared no more, and I'm taking the lead of my life, I'm being the queen of my life, I'm ruling the world! In the end I'm taking a risk, but I'm taking the leap of faith.

I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I'm constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes.

High school students ought to seek out campus communities where they feel not only empowered to engage their talents, but also challenged to leave their comfort zones. The ability to embrace new opportunities emerges, in part, from a willingness to take risks and to fail.

I've been very much intrigued by and impressed with women. But I've never been intimidated. Even if I make a fool of myself, it's better to have tried.

Be humble, be gracious, and make peace with inner fears before stepping out into the limelight and allowing yourself to be subjected to all of humanity.

I need to be able to face things.

I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.

The moment that you feel that just possibly you are walking down the street naked... that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.

I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that?

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.
