"I had gotten to a place where I truly believed everything I was called: 'not sexy,' 'not funny,' 'too intense,' desperate.' All those labels they gave me, I took them because there wasn't a trace of my true self left"

In this quote, Naomi Watts reviews a time in her life where she had lost touch with her true self. She had internalized the unfavorable labels and criticisms that others had actually provided her, such as being "not hot," "not funny," "too extreme," and "desperate." These labels had actually become a part of her identity, and she had concerned think them as truths. As an outcome, she had actually forgotten who she genuinely was. This quote highlights the harmful results of permitting others to define us and the value of remaining real to ourselves regardless of the viewpoints of others.
