For most entertainers, there is a single experience, one defining moment, when confidence replaces the self-doubt that most of us wrestle with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Self-doubt is real. Everyone has it. Having confidence and losing confidence is real, too, and everyone has been in that position.
Self-doubt kills talent.
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.
The thing is, I have never been that confident, and, um, I have a lot of self-doubt, and I had never - I don't think I ever would have consciously chosen to be a television presenter.
I've always had confidence. Before I was famous, that confidence got me into trouble. After I got famous, it just got me into more trouble.
The greatest part of intimate confidences proceed from a desire either to be pitied or admired.
There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.
I have many moments of self doubt. Everybody does.
I don't think success makes one confident. I think it has more to do with character than circumstance.
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.
