#myself

I don't know what it is that I'm doing, but I'm really enjoying myself. And I'm free to do it as much as I want. ↗

We all had to learn Southern accents. It wasn't a big research show. With the 'Wounded Knee' project, I locked myself in my apartment with history books so I would know what we're talking about. ↗

I see myself as life-sized, certainly not a supersized personality, and apparently after 30 years of television, that's what the audience thinks of me as well. I know this because for the first time in my career, I've just seen market research, and the thing I am known for is being authentic. ↗

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other. ↗

I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there. ↗
