A sister is both your mirror – and your opposite.
People are always judging you based on where you’re from, where you went to school, how you look, how you talk. But at the end of the day, you’re going to have to look into the mirror and accept who you are. It’s all about being authentic.
I have a very specific memory of watching ‘Singing in the Rain,’ and looking at myself in the mirror after watching it and perceiving myself as one of those people that I was just watching on T.V. It was just kind of a knowing that this would be the world that I would enter into. And that’s what I did.
I spent my 20s earning minimum wage decorating cakes for a living. But one day, I looked in the mirror and realized I wanted more, for me and my people. I saw too many Native Americans struggling, and I realized we should have a voice in who our elected officials are.
When you are dealing with two players who are almost mirror images, the contest often boils down to first-serve percentage. Who is getting more cheap points on their first serve? Who can dominate the other guy’s second serve?
I think that fans are always looking for someone to blame. Wouldn’t it be nice if they looked in the mirror?
The war was a mirror; it reflected man’s every virtue and every vice, and if you looked closely, like an artist at his drawings, it showed up both with unusual clarity.
I realize I’m a mirror.

And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.
When it comes to jewellery, less is more as you get older. Just before I go out to a party, I look at myself in the mirror and take off half of the jewellery I’m wearing. Anything that rattles or clanks is just too dowager duchess.
You have to do that every day, whether you’re playing football or just in life in general. You’ve got to look yourself in mirror, and say, ‘Hey, this what I’m not doing right.’
I know it’s a terrible habit, but if I get a pimple, I’ll sit in front of the mirror and pick at it for hours.
Seeing outward is equivalent to looking backward in time because the telescope’s mirror is capturing primeval light… galaxies that existed before our time.
I’m not sure how to say this without making it sound corny, but I honestly feel this is the way to run a business. Our work force needs to mirror these communities, and we’ve got to get aggressive in recruiting and promoting minorities.
I think a villain who starts his morning looking in the mirror, wringing his hands, and going, ‘How can I be evil today?’ is not an interesting villain. An interesting villain is a person who you understand on some level, I think.
At a point in every person’s life, one has to look deeply into the mirror of one’s soul and decide one’s unique truth in the world, not as we may want to see it or hope to see it, but as it is.
When I look in the mirror, I see someone who’s happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I’ve had success as I’ve gotten older, because I’m able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.
The far Right’s identity politics are the mirror image of that dominant left-wing ideology, which sees the world exclusively through the lens of race and sex.
You either like or don’t like people warts and all. You’ve got to look yourself in the mirror. I don’t like all the aspects of what I do and am, or things I’ve done, but you’ve got to live with it.
We have fallen in love with the body. That’s that thing that looks back at us from the mirror. That’s the repository of that lovely identity that you keep chasing all your life.
Reading is a pleasure, yes, but not without effort: choosing to read novels purely because they mirror your own experience is stultifying.
Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy, I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous! I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, ‘Oh, I look like a woman.’ And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ’cause I loved it.
The Daily Mirror called me a ‘money-grabbing reptile’ once. I could cope with the reptile part, but ‘money-grabbing’ hurt.
In ‘Mirror Mirror,’ I played Prince Charming’s side kick Renbock, who was pretty dandy, hapless and innocent. Other than that I’ve tended to play the complete opposite! I’ve played gritty, hard characters, generally tough people.
I have the love and respect of my wife and my kids. I could look in the mirror and I’m happy with that guy now. He’s okay. He’s not a schmuck.
‘Astitva’ is all about a woman’s search for her identity in a male-dominated world. It is not a feminist kind of approach. Rather, I have tried hold a mirror to the men in our society.
I used to go to the Hollywood YMCA when I first came here, and I was standing in front of the mirror doing curls, and I noticed this guy next to me also doing curls. He was grimacing a lot, and I noticed he had an underbite. I looked more closely and realized it was Bruce Springsteen.
In a way, the history of jazz’s development is a small mirror of classical music’s development through the centuries. Now jazz is a living form of original music, while classical music has gotten to the end of its cycle in terms of exploring its form.
I know there are a lot of readers that think I’ve got a very crappy marriage just because of the things going on with Rick and Lori but there’s really nothing that’s been like a mirror. I’m just making this stuff up.
A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it an apostle is hardly likely to look out.
The first thing I notice when I look in the mirror is whether or not I need a fringe trim. I’m not brave enough to cut it myself – I can’t look like a three-year-old whose mum has cut their hair again.
In my job, I am portrayed as a misfit, a grandiose high fashion lady or an unearthly creature. At home, it’s important I can look in the mirror, strip away the disguise and be comfortable with who stares back.
I’m not a natural. I had to teach myself – or be taught – everything I do. I just spent hours and hours in the mirror mimicking Michael Jackson.
Sensitive, responsive, eagerly welcomed everywhere, the drama, holding the mirror up to nature, by laughter and by tears reveals to mankind the world of men.
I love growing older. Normally, I don’t bother with make-up. This face in the mirror is changing. I’ve got new lines from smiling at the sprog so much.
One thing my mother did is that she never looked in the mirror and said, ‘I’m so fat,’or ‘I’m so ugly. I need to go on a diet.’ Projecting that onto yourself is only going to make your daughter or son think that of themselves. Because they’re a product of you.
Film is a mirror. I want to see more filmmakers. We all want to see ourselves.
I feel old only when I look at my hands or at myself in the mirror.
I definitely went through a period where I don’t want to say I hated myself, but I hated what I saw in the mirror. I would try to cover it up, and it wasn’t until I started doing sports – until after London 2012 – that I kind of started getting more of that confidence in my body and appreciating my body.
Titan has rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane, methane weather systems of clouds and storms that mirror Earth’s hydrologic cycle, and seasonal cycles that rival Earth’s in complexity.
When I was little, I got to pick my hair ribbon from my mother’s collection that hung over her dressing-table mirror. I have an entire room of ribbons in my New York apartment.
The young people I know judge leaders by their deeds and abhor hypocrisy. Inconsistency and point-scoring do not win respect. It’s not easy to be engaged in political debate when it is reduced to performers trying to outdo each other. Actions from leaders must mirror the values they claim to espouse.
Musclemen grow on trees. They can tense their muscles and look good in a mirror. So what? I’m interested in practical strength that’s going to help me run, jump, twist, punch.
I stand in the mirror, look at the plays and try to say them to myself to get ready for the next day.
I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that’s just not the case.
I’d eat, eat, eat, not exercise, go to sleep, eat and eat. I looked up in the mirror and said I had to make a change if I was going to continue to live.
I go through the same kind of situations as other people. I have to give that to people, because people have this facade, this mirage, this mirror about me.
I look for the humanity in people, however big the politics or oppressive the situation may be, whether it’s subsumed within a human being or between two human beings. I want to help us hold a mirror to ourselves.
No rendering can really simulate the way the light bounces off the bronze panel. From some angles, it’s almost a mirror, and from others it’s a matte surface.
I was a million percent in love with Edward Scissorhands. I remember looking in the mirror on the last day of shooting… and thinking how sad I was to be saying goodbye to Edward.
