Mark Webber Quotes

True bravery is being exactly who you are, imperfections included. Vulnerability is the most precious gift you can give.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life.

When we close ourselves off, we're not just closing ourselves off to other people, we're closing ourselves off from ourselves and impeding ourselves. When you open up, you allow yourself to be who you are.

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.

I don't want to stand in front of a whole lot of fakeys. If I'm going to meet someone and say hello, I want to feel like I'm really meeting that person, not a masked version. I want to give that to people when they meet me. You don't have to like it. I'm not looking for you to like it; I'm looking to be myself.

I have to care and I have to be honest and have the courage to be vulnerable. If that happens, then that's the best I can do. To just be a puppet for the audience is not very courageous. Just to do whatever they say they want - because a lot of times people will hear something new that they hadn't heard before and get turned on by a new experience and will want to hear more of that.

I don't pretend to be perfect. I want people to see me as I am.

Take off your armor; dare to be vulnerable, dare to unwrap yourself, and dare yourself to be yourself.

I'm going to write a book someday and the title will be I'm an Ass, You're an Ass. That's the most liberating, wonderful thing in the world, when you openly admit you're an ass. It's wonderful. When people tell me, You're wrong I say, What can you expect of an ass?

I think the most important thing is authenticity, just being as real as I can be. But also flexible and open to change and other ideas and thought processes. Back when you and I last talked, I was at a turning point in my life, and I was having a tough time. I was hiding it, but I had a really hard time just being me. So now it's important that I'm just me.

I'm going to show you my faults, I'm going to show you my insecurities, I'm going to be real.

If honesty is the key to intimacy, it means we don't have to be perfect and we don't have to pretend to be perfect.

The goal isn't to be perfect, but to be authentic!

Lots of people still live with fears about anything. It can be lots of different things. One of the hardest things to do is to be present and open and clear about who you are and what you stand for. We all have issues with that.

When you get that opportunity to be honest and open with somebody, for the first time, and share things about yourself that you haven't been able to share before, that you might be scared of or ashamed about, that's really exhilarating, and I think that's something that people will really identify with.

I love being vulnerable. It's scary. I feel like the best stuff that I have ever written can come from real vulnerable places.

It isn't necessary to be perfect to be a channel for the universe. You just have to be real- be yourself. The more real, honest, and spontaneous you are, the more freely the creative force can flow through you.

There is more freedom confessing our weaknesses and shortcomings than in pretending we have it all together

I think it's good to be a little more fearless in saying what you feel. In not being scared of the repercussions of that.

'Birdman' came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

I can say I have become far more open about what I believe.

I say whatever I think and whatever is on my mind, and I just hope that it comes out good. I just try to have a lot of fun.

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'm very free with all my emotions, whether it's happy, sad, mad, glad, whatever.
