27. “ I still feel like, you know, I'm
going to wake up and
everybody is going to see me
for the hack I am … I still feel
like when I walk on the set
that I'm starting from scratch.
Until I realize, okay, I do know
what I'm doing. I'm human.”

28. “This is the first year I've
allowed myself just a little bit
to see that self deprecation is
not the answer to humility.
Sometimes you can say I
deserve it. That I'm proud of
myself and move on.”
- Viola Davis

29. “At any time I
still expect that
the no-talent
police will
come and
arrest me.”
- Mike Myers
