Confidence is such a fragile and precious thing.

Confidence is a very fragile thing.

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

I had a lot of self-confidence.

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

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.

There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

My confidence wavers between being genuine and being insecure.

Confidence was never in short supply in my case. If anything, I think I overshot the mark with confidence way too early in my career, and gradually, it's about just getting more humble and wanting to sit down more.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.
