I miss my mother very much. She was a very sweet and wonderful lady. She had demons she was battling with. Some of her demons were stronger than she would have liked for them to be. She had her flaws just like anything other humans do, but we still stayed in touch and we loved each other very much.

Why the heck do we allow the media to ever tell us someone is gross? It makes me so mad. 99% of the world has flaws.
I certainly don’t feel like I have the perfect body type… It’s through your own eyes. And for every female, you’re going to see flaws in that; you’re going to see flaws regardless. So for me, it’s just important to have that confidence and self-esteem no matter what body type you have.
Every girl/woman in the world has flaws. Instead of focusing on your flaws when you look in a mirror, focus on the parts of you that you love; try to do this every morning. You will ooze confidence all day long.
Everyone has technical flaws – no matter how many runs you score.

The flaws, the mistakes I make – that’s the real me.
You’re not supposed to stop and listen and spy on people practicing. It’s supposed to be a private thing. But it’s when you come face-to-face with yourself and you look for your flaws and you try to fix them yourself, it’s a really intimidating process. It can be very discouraging.
‘Entourage’ is a great show, but it’s fantasy. I spent my twenties in L.A. in this business, and my life didn’t look anything like that. ‘Big Bang’ reflects a side of men that is rarely shown. We see their flaws – all of them.
I wrote a song on the record called ‘Flawed Design’ and it’s basically looking at that, and it was just exploring how everybody obviously has flaws. I think to embrace those flaws – enjoy them, embrace them – and actually be a real person is something that a lot of people struggle with, myself included.
With my physicality and my face, I don’t think I could pull off a completely righteous guy. There’s something devious about my eyes. I like characters with flaws and to see how they overcome those flaws. I want to play real people, and they’re flawed, not perfect.

There’s always a side of me that goes, ‘I’m just a nerd.’ I never look at myself and say, ‘I’m beautiful.’ Like anyone else, I see the flaws. Guys don’t do that as much as women. But you have to learn to appreciate and accept and love yourself as you are.
I have flaws, but I’m honest.

I feel to look for perfection is a very dangerous path. More than that, it’s dangerous because it doesn’t exist. You can aim for it, but you already know you won’t get there because it doesn’t exist. Plus, I definitely think the flaws, little cracks, and accidents are a lot more interesting.
I have my flaws and my issues, past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know I’m vulnerable too and each one of us is.
A protective self-narrative during conflict and duress sometimes obscures us from seeing the worst in ourselves. When the self-sustaining haze lifts after that conflict has subsided, we may recognize in ourselves the flaws the other saw in us at the time that we didn’t have the emotional bandwidth to examine in the moment.
Grip pressure – not mechanical flaws – is the biggest factor when you’re nervous. You unconsciously grip it tighter, which keeps you from making a smooth swing with a natural release. Keep your grip pressure light, and you’ll be surprised how much your mechanics stabilize.
