Cybill Shepherd Quotes

Life is too short not to experiment.

IF you are not making mistakes, then you are not doing anything.

The greatest tip ever told to me is 'Don't be afraid to make mistakes.'

Failure is a learning experience, and the guy who has never failed has never done anything.

My direction as a person working in film has been to never get comfortable with anything I was doing. At the time that I decided to do action films, people were telling me, "Well, you can't do it. You're not that type. It's not going to work." And so obviously that made me think, "Well, that's not comfortable. Maybe I should try it. What can I do with it?" So I did that, and I'm glad I did it. I'll probably do it again, and I did other kinds of things that seemed like challenges for me, because I like being on the high wire.

Every day you make mistakes. And the key to making mistakes is first you have to make them, which means you're in the game. So don't be afraid of getting in the game.

Be willing to make bold decisions and be willing to make glorious mistakes. Learn from your mistakes, but you've got to be willing to make them first.

If you haven't failed yet, you haven't tried anything.

Go, and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.

If you decide that you're going to do only the things you know are going to work, you're going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table.
