Self-doubt is real. Everyone has it. Having confidence and losing confidence is real, too, and everyone has been in that position.

For most entertainers, there is a single experience, one defining moment, when confidence replaces the self-doubt that most of us wrestle with.

What I learned is that acting is to a large extent about trying to stave off self-doubt long enough to be natural and real onstage.

I never doubted my talent. If talent was the circus, then I was its ringmaster and audience, applauding its every move.

I have many moments of self doubt. Everybody does.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

Self-consciousness can destroy a performance. Getting rid of that is always good.

To my mind, talent doesn't really exist.

There is no such thing as talent. There is pressure.
