If you get validation from outside, then suddenly everything you do at home is justified.
A person supporting [Donald]Trump likes Trump. And I think they would say the same about me.
I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, "Oh, okay, you should be an artist," you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.
Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people.
I have never known my husband to approve any act of mine which I myself valued.
I believe I would rather have Stieglitz like something - anything I had done - than anyone else I know.
It is our nature to conform; it is a force which not many can successfully resist. What is its seat? The inborn requirement of self-approval.

Whether or not we communicate it, I definitely seek my mom's acceptance and approval for everything. She has a strong commercial sense of movies and is a quintessential audience. When she doesn't like something, I know there is reason to worry. When she loves something, there is reason to celebrate.
There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
