The whole concept of stage fright is fascinating. Actors get stage fright, but they wouldn't be on the stage in the first place if they just succumbed to it. There's this love/hate relationship with the spotlight.

More quotes by Robert Greene
Being the free woman who is sexy and out there is a performance in a way, and being the stay-at-home mom and wife is a performance in itself. All of those performances are living and force you to make decisions about who you really are. Women have to put those performances ahead of things sometimes. Men aren't perceived in the same way.
Robert Greene
Be brutal with the past, especially your own, and have no respect for the philosophies that are foisted on you from outside.
Robert Greene
If you're in your early twenties, don't put so much importance on the money, on the raise. Getting an extra thousand dollars a year is okay, but the real thing is the responsibility and the power and the experience that you're learning.
Robert Greene
Some people are a little bit better than others, some people are great, some people are superior. It depends on the level of effort.
Robert Greene
We started filming [with Brandy Burre ]and didn't really know, at first, what we were doing. Eventually, the thing just grabbed a hold of both of us and became what it is. But, yeah, we were very close before and we're even closer now.
Robert Greene
Everything is judged by its appearance what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious than the bland and timid masses.
Robert Greene
The key to power, then, is the ability to judge who is best able to further your interests in all situations. Keep friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent.
Robert Greene
I've always loved black culture I don't know any other way to put it. Since I was a kid I loved music and early jazz, Sly and the Family Stone.
Robert Greene
Lord, protect me from my friends I can take care of my enemies.
Robert Greene
You're not going to be persistent and tenacious enough if you don't love what you're doing. If it's not something that excites you, that appeals to you deep down inside.
Robert Greene
Any titles, money, or privilege you inherit are actually hindrances. They delude you into believing you are owed respect.
Robert Greene
I'll probably take the prize for the most irrelevant degree. Although some of the things now where they study, you know: post feministic colonial film theory - those kind of majors, yeah, that's probably worse. But I was, you know, classics, Greek and Latin, like what's more irrelevant than dead languages, you know?
Robert Greene
I find the training of the mind that Zen puts people through is by far to me, the most interesting, one of the most interesting disciplines.
Robert Greene
In the future, the great division will be between those who have trained themselves to handle these complexities and those who are overwhelmed by them -- those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can enver focus enough to learn.
Robert Greene
If you are worried about what others might think and about how your position in the group might be jeopardized, then you will never really create anything.
Robert Greene
If you are armed with knowledge, if you are aware that certain dynamics are at play then you have options. You can play defense, you can ignore certain person and take the consequences perhaps with a game plan in mind and it goes on, you've increased your options.
Robert Greene
Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers. Feel motivated and energized, we can overcome almost anything. Feeling bored and restless, our minds shut off and we become increasingly passive.
Robert Greene
If you're only ten feet above, then you're better than when you're on the ground.
Robert Greene
The wrong way to look at your university life is to say it's like job training, unless you're going into something very specific.
Robert Greene
Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, that you have no energy in, that you're not creative with and you're not thinking of the future. To me, might as well be dead.
Robert Greene
