I never thought I’d land in pictures with a face like mine.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

The beauty of me being on stage is I have a voice.

You listen to Charlie Parker or John Coltrane before they found their voice, they sounded different. And when you listen to them after they found their voice on their instruments, they sound more confident and in control. Artists have that, too.

People always tell you, ‚Be humble. Be humble.‘ When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!

I don’t believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn’t make me feel good at all.

I’m not a centerfold.

Humility is to make a right estimate of one’s self.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

I don’t want to be fake. I’m just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.

It is not so much our friends‘ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

I always try to be myself. Ever since I was an introverted kid, I’d get on stage and be able to break out of my shell.

Self-respect: the secure feeling that no one, as yet, is suspicious.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute.

I wasn’t a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.

Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life.

For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.

If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.

I feel confident imposing change on myself. It’s a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That’s why I need to throw curve balls.

One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

Do you wish people to think well of you? Don’t speak well of yourself.

I don’t know that you can put a label on growth. I’m just me.

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

It is my absolute belief that Indians have unlimited talent. I have no doubt about our capabilities.

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.

Because of its phantom nature, and despite elaborate defense mechanisms, the ego is very vulnerable and insecure, and it sees itself as constantly under threat. This, by the way, is the case even if the ego is outwardly very confident.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Now I am older, I understand we have to accept who we are.

Your Highest Self only wants you to be at peace. It does not judge, compare, or demand that you defeat anyone or be better than anyone.

I’m fat, but I’m thin inside… there’s a thin man inside every fat man.

I still consider myself a little, fat kid from Hawaii.

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.

The single most powerful thing I can be is to be myself.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

I was raised by a mother who told me I was great every day of my life.

My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it.

There are going to be things I’m not going to be great at, times when I make mistakes, 100%.

I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.

I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ‚em out, I pick the round.

I’m very secure about my talents and about who I am.

Never fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.

I like to feel blonde all over.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

I love ripped jeans! They are flattering. I’m very petite, so I think they make my butt look lovely.

The more people I reach, the more people there are that have opinions about me. Not everyone loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

A lot of people ask me, ‚How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?‘ It’s because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they’re gonna say no to you, at least they’re gonna be polite about it.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I’m just trying to be myself. I’m not trying to be anyone else.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

I know what I believe, I know what I want to do, and I’m just comfortable saying it, and laying it out there.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
