I don't believe any of it.

But after a certain amount of time, it starts to get to you and you start to think.

Maybe, you know.

Well, I think the first place everybody goes wrong is they start to believe things that aren't true.

People tend to deceive themselves.

I find that to be a common denominator amongst everybody across every kind of industry.

It happens everywhere.

If you start believing that you're better than others or that your press is accurate, good or bad, or that you...

are superior in any way.

We're all humans, and we all have different skill sets.

Now, some athletes are just better than others, but that doesn't make them better people.

Sometimes it makes them worse people, actually.

And I think it's very easy to slip up in Hollywood in many directions.

You can slip up in the relationship area.

You can slip up in the ego area.

You can slip up in...

believing you're something that you're not.

You can slip up in just simple mistakes in daily life that others might not make in different vocations.

Hollywood's also an incredibly social event.

Everything's a social event.
