I couldn't bear it if anyone knew I had hardly any self-confidence at all.

Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.

My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.

Massive self-confidence is boring.

There is, I think, great difficulty in writing of one's self: it is almost impossible to present subjects where the chief actor must be conspicuous and not seem to be, or really be, egotistical.

At the level at which I work with people, their great talent is paired with great insecurity. Self-doubt is literally the twin of self-confidence. And I have to be there for both.

I think confidence is the most appealing quality in any human being or any artist; that's what really attracts us to people.

Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.

If you're successful, you must express a modest appearance.

I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.
