June Singer Quotes

I am never more myself than in my self-betrayals.

It is difficult to see ourselves as we are. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have good friends, lovers or others who will do us the good service of telling us the truth about ourselves. When we don't, we can so easily delude ourselves, lose a sense of truth about ourselves, and our conscience loses power and purpose. Mostly, we tell ourselves what we would like to hear. We lose our way.

We are not strangers to ourselves, we only try to be.

Love After Love all your life, whom you have ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

I just don't like to be in my own - I'm already myself, so I don't like to be in my own - like, watch myself.

Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show who I am inside?

You have to self-reflect. If you forget who you actually are, then what's the use of even looking in the mirror.

It takes time to understand yourself, to go inside yourself and to question yourself and really take yourself to task. That's self-expression.

I discovered myself!

I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here, or little stuff like, 'Why aren't I happier?'

One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.

Whoever you pretend to be, you must face yourself eventually.
