I used to say in the cabinet room, 'confidence is not like a can of Popeye spinach - you can't take the top off and swallow it down.' You know, confidence has to be earned.

Here's what I've learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

I've never been super confident about anything. The work is never as good as it could be.

All anything takes, really, is confidence.

I always try to be reasonable and effective.

I've never been that confident. I don't tend to think, swaggeringly, 'I'm going to ace this.' It's just not who I am.

I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.

I know I always worked hard on making sure we came out with the best possible product and of course we were working with four other people, you have to balance that as well.

Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do it.

Beware of over-confidence; especially in matters of structure.
