We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.
Hair and makeup has become part of my pre-competition routine. It's a quiet time, when I can reflect, I can put on some music - and I can mentally get in the zone of performance.
Megamind: After a few years - and with some time off for good behavior - I was given an opportunity to better myself through learning, at a strange place called "shcool". It was there that I once again ran into Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes.

his classmates]
Megamind: He had already amassed a gigantic army of soft-headed groupies. He bought their affections with showmanship and extravagant gifts of deliciousness. So I, too, would make this pop-ed corn and win over those mindless drones.

puts out the fire and Megamind gets punished]
Megamind: That's when I learned a very hard lesson: good receives all the praise and adulation, while evil is sent to quiet time in the corner. So fitting in wasn't really an option.
