Sebastian Lelio Quotes

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

Even if you're not ready to live at your full volume, turn it up halfway and get there.

We all have a fear of the unknown what one does with that fear will make all the difference in the world.

If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear.

I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging.

People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.

If it scares me, it means I'm supposed to do it.

My only advice would be to someone right now, is if you're in a position in your life where you need to make a change, this is the best time.

You can't let regret stifle your creativity.

I'm really living my dream so if I were to change anything up, I probably wouldn't be where I am.

I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap.

To move past fear is a cliche.

If you don't go towards the thing you fear, you won't be able to say you lived.

I try to have the motto of living life with no regrets.

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

My life is not just about the past.

I like to give my inhibitions a bath now and then.

My motto is: feel the fear and do it anyway.

With few exceptions, one ought always do what one is afraid of.

It seems like the more I live, the more I realize that saying 'yes' is almost never a mistake. If you say no, it might feel safe, but then you end up going nowhere.

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.

I had grand visions of being in professional sports. But when reality set in, I went, 'Oh, OK. I'll just move to Hollywood and be an actor.' I didn't want to look back on my life and wonder, 'What if I had done this? Or I had done that?'

Some of the regrets I've had about my own career are things I have not done that I should have done. More than some of the things that I've done.

Fear is like a black cavern that is terrifying. Once you enter the cavern and explore it, you realize that you can get out of it, go through it and get out of it.
