I do not recall spending long hours in front of a mirror loving my reflection.
I like to create something that’s unique and kind of true to myself and authentic and everything. I don’t really like to mirror myself after different artists.
Pope Francis is not only changing the face of the Catholic Church, he’s challenging us to be the face of God in the world by seeing the face of God in the person we least expect to see it, including the person in the mirror.
We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.

The mirror to the beautiful is beautiful.
Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
I don’t get dressed for other people. I get dressed for what I see in the mirror. My body isn’t for other people’s consumption. If I smile when I look in the mirror, then great. Let’s start the day.
Thrillers provide the reader with a safe escape into a dangerous world where the stakes are as high as can be imagined with unpredictable outcomes. It’s a perfect genre in which to explore hard issues of good and evil, a mirror that allows the reader to see both the good and not so good in themselves.
An artist’s job is simply to take the mirror in front of your face and hold it there. It’s not to give you any answers. It is simply to take that mirror and point it at you.
Comedy is a reflection. We create nothing. We set no styles, no standards. We’re reflections. It’s a distorted mirror in the fun house. We watch society. As society behaves, then we have the ability to make fun of it.
I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person – you are a different person. It’s superficial change that can lead to real change.
At the end of the day, we all look in the mirror and tend to see our own self-perceived flaws.
When I look in the mirror, I see my late mother: I have her nose, her dark eyes – I call them chocolate eyes – I have her colouring, and my hair is greying the same way, although I use colour and she didn’t.
When I look in the mirror, I don’t see a person who’s made the kind of impact that Mia Hamm made on the game. She’s still my idol, the greatest player and the greatest teammate. She achieved so much in so many different ways. What she did for women’s soccer can’t be measured.
A novel is a mirror carried along a main road.
Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.
I work in an old tradition that goes back to the ancient Greeks. You hold a mirror to crime to see what’s happening in society. I could never write a crime story just for the sake of it, because I always want to talk about certain things in society.
I spent quite a lot of time in front of the bathroom mirror. Nearby, there was a stack of books. My favorites were ‘The Death of Manolete’ and the cartoons of Charles Addams. I would pretend to be Morticia Addams. I was drawn to her. I used to pull my eyes back and see how I’d look with slanted eyelids.
I wasn’t happy with my body and I knew I had to do something to make myself feel better. I was looking at myself in the mirror with agony, and I know a lot of women out there feel the same way.
I always had a relationship with God as early as 8 years old. I can remember having these conversations with God. I’d go in the bathroom and look in the mirror and talk to myself, but then I knew I was not the only one present.
Once I had my son, I stopped shopping in stores because it’s not an easy process to try on clothes – and I’m not an impulsive buyer. I need to do the dance in front of the mirror, the whole nine yards.
I don’t think anyone wants to look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m anti-woman.’ They don’t see themselves that way, and you can’t treat them that way. But you have to tell the truth.
If I buy a new car, I rip the rearview mirror off because I don’t like to look back.
Like the way we get to know about the society of Korea, Iran, and other countries through their films, people will get to know about our country. Our films are a mirror of our society.
The biggest thing for me when I got to L.A. was everybody wrote us off to make the playoffs. That was one of my goals. Put that on my mirror. We did it as a team. And that’s my thing: Wherever I go, I’m going to win.
The problem with cosmetic surgery is that people who have it can only see how they look in the mirror. They don’t realise how weird they look from other angles. I particularly hate the injections that puff out the face, which are hideous.
I also dance to music that makes me feel sexy in front of a mirror.
Bronze in the mirror of the form, wine of the mind.
With ‘Hang the DJ,’ I was concerned that it was more comedic and much lighter than we normally do for ‘Black Mirror.’
I loved being in my sister’s room. I really admired her and wore her clothes to play in, played with her dolls, played with her makeup. She had a mirror with settings to see what you would look like in different lighting. I thought that was amazing.
People have the right to say what they want, but as long as I can go to bed at night and look myself in the mirror, I’ll be all right.
What I realized is that the desire for making ‘Places’ came from the fact that I’ve got this strange situation with having been born in the glitter, born on the other side of the mirror that everyone fantasizes about.
Your self-esteem won’t come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.
Don’t you think it’s something strange that you rarely look at yourself in the mirror, except to do things like stand and ponder?

I loved being my father’s audience and watching him in front of the mirror as he talked to himself made up like a clown.

You used to be able to identify Sox fans in Yankee Stadium. They sat, slump-shouldered, with the same panicked expectation nervous motorists have looking in the rearview mirror at the 16-wheeler behind them on Interstate 95 near New Haven.
Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the ‘Daily Mirror.’ They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don’t really have any memories of them as a couple.
One thing I did was to create a Love Yourself List. I wrote down everything I like about myself, and put it on my bathroom mirror. Then I read it until I believed it. Any time I compared myself to others, and felt negative about myself, I’d go back to that list.
If you imagine b, d, p, and q, those are letter forms that all the children always mess up. They are mirror forms of one another. That feature is emphasized in a font like Arial, where the shapes are literally mirror forms.
If you look in the mirror and think, ‘Boy, my body needs a good dose of middle management,’ keep in mind that tummy fat could be the result of many things.
When I was very young, I used to clean up after my parents. If I stay in a hotel, I make the bed and clean the room when I get up, even the bathroom mirror, for which I carry a tiny bottle of ammonia.
A lot of time when you’re out injured is spent with internal reflection and kind of looking at yourself in the mirror and deciding who you want to be and where you fit in.

Thinking about the new epoch – often called the Anthropocene, or the age of humanity – challenges us to look at ourselves in the mirror of deep time, measured not in centuries or even in millennia, but over millions and billions of years.
You have to be able to hold up a mirror to your personality at drama school and recognise the flaws. That’s hard to do as a 17-year-old. But it’s easier to cope with when you’re a little bit older.
I think people are slowly realizing that don’t have to be looking in a mirror to enjoy something. And they’re realizing that watching a show with drag queens in it doesn’t make you gay any more then listening to rap makes you black.
Rumi, who is one of the greatest Persian poets, said that the truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.
Nothing I do is didactic. I just want to hold up a mirror and say, ‘This is who we are.’
