When you have this self-hatred thing going on, and you achieve the thing you've been striving for, whatever the thing is - TV show, acting job, etc - Ive found it hasn't got the value I thought it would have, because it was me who achieved it, and if i can achieve it, it mustn't be worth all that much.
