“It’s hard to have scrutinizing eyes on you all the time, but I’ve learned to listen to myself. As I get older, I’m more confident because I know myself better than I ever have before. You have to remember that it’s a big, wide world of people with a lot of opinions. Just ask yourself, ‘Do I feel good today? Do I feel true to myself?’ That’s all you can do.” InStyle

“If you’re not confident, pretend to be. It’s still hard for me, but it’s very important to have confidence in yourself. If you don’t, be able to present it, because people want to see people with a bit of power, and it’s hard to do that if you’re shrinking all the time. I did grow up as a very shy person, so that’s been a bit challenging.” People Magazine

“I’ve always tried to be my authentic self. I was a little quirky growing up. I was a bit of a smart aleck, quick to joke. I never thought I was particularly pretty. I certainly have no discernible talents. It’s not like I can sing. I can dance a little bit. But I am very much my own creation. I’ve always felt that my individuality was important.” People Magazine

“I’m proud of my heart, and I like my eyes! I used to look at myself and feel not pretty enough. But I think it’s natural for people to feel that way sometimes. You feel like you have to look a certain way or be a certain way, but that’s not the case. This line is a way for me to be a part of a beauty community and say, I’m practicing and I’m learning, and you can too.” People Magazine

“Fully realizing that you can’t make everybody happy. You could have all the good intentions in the world, and you’ll still get controversy or some type of negativity thrown your way. Sometimes you’ve just got to trust the universe, you know? You’ve got to just believe in yourself and do what you feel is really right. I think that adds up and builds confidence.” People Magazine
Dwayne Johnson “The Rock”
DWAYNE JOHNSON on depression
“The first time, I was 18 years old, and I had no idea what depression was. Back then it was called, “Get off the couch, get your s**t together, and change what’s happening here. I was always a better listener than I was a communicator in terms of sharing my feelings. The most important thing obviously is communicating and realizing that asking for help is actually the most powerful thing you can do, and it’s not a weakness. Men especially fall into this trap of being really averse to vulnerability. But the truth is, you have to hopefully over time, learn to embrace that. It’s all part of life.” People Magazine

“Do what makes you happy, because if you’re happy and you’re comfortable, people are going to be happy around you. They’re going to be comfortable with you even if you might look ridiculous to them. Because there’s something about you that makes them feel content. I’m not preaching that somebody should look like me. Most people don’t want to wear that much makeup or hair, but at least I have one thing that I know for a fact is real. I am comfortable with who I am. And I dress for me. I do what makes me happy. So I would just say to anybody, ‘If you’re comfortable wearing no makeup be that. If you wanna wear too much, do that.'” Allure Magazine

“I’m my biggest bully, my biggest hater. But those rude things I say to myself? I would never say them to my friends. Self-love is talking to yourself with compassion, accepting that you’re not going to feel your best every single day and just learning from that.” GL Magazine
Tyler Perry
TYLER PERRY
In reference to sexual abuse, Tyler Perry stated, “It was rape, I didn’t know what was going on or the far-reaching effects of it. I just moved through it. ‘Boys don’t cry, shut up and move on.’ Holding on to all of that, not knowing what to do with it, there was a lot of anger in my teenage years, in my 20s. If any of it had worked, my attempts to kill myself…. I wouldn’t have gotten to the other side of all the horror. I believe that to everything there is an opposite. So for all of that pain and hell I was going through as a child, there has to be beauty. I tell anyone who is in pain, ‘Just keep going. One little step is a step.'” People Magazine
