Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this.
If I told a lie, then I got to come back and correct it years later. I hate that I have to be the person that touch on their life and be personal and be direct with certain situations, but man, I'm glad that it's me than them.
I'm not the kind of person to hold my tongue.
If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said "NO" too often.
I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the ass.
I hate using excuses, I hate doing excuses.
If you wanna cross somebody, then do that. Don't act like it wasn't you.
I do think that, as an advocate for myself on set, I'm very direct.
A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.
Being unapologetic means never having to say you're sorry.
Go right straight down the road, to do what is best, and to do it frankly and without evasion.
It's always better to deliver the news yourself rather than allow your boss to be surprised.
I can never lie to my partner. Even if the truth is harsh, I'll break it to my partner but won't lie.
I say what is required to be said.
I think that if you like someone, it is important to just make it known.
Be more assertive with what you want to do.
I like to speak my mind.
If you have a difficult message to deliver in any circumstance, it's always best to do it first up-front, and probably be a bit harder than you have to be because it's always easier to be nicer afterwards.
Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don't work on me and I tune them out. It's better to just be honest.
Say just what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted you mean to do right.
