There's a degree of narcissism involved in anything in show business. I mean, you can't do it without a healthy ego. Why would you want anybody to listen to you?

I'm in the acting business. That's the ego business.

I own and operate a ferocious ego.

I've stepped more into my business and really... taken control for how I want that to be.

I don't know if it's naivete or just narcissism, but I start out with this notion that I can do anything. It's not until I get into it that I realize what I've thrown myself into, and then I will do anything not to humiliate myself. And that, I think, is the secret to my success.

I've always been a narcissist.

My career is based primarily upon finding a balance with a director and their vision, and that means sublimating my own personal ego toward their material.

The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.

Our public figures are often narcissists, utterly self-absorbed in their quest for power.

As a business consultant, I am a voracious reader of self-help books, case studies of thriving companies, and the biographies and autobiographies of the world's most successful people. I relentlessly implement the best ideas into my businesses.
