I constantly think I'm a fraud - that this success is not warranted or justified.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself.
I am a fraud. I have cobbled together my personality from hundreds of little bits. I am simultaneously the most genuine and the most artificial person you will ever meet.
I can't say I'm surprised I was successful. I was determined - and I got it.
It's almost like the better I do, the more my feeling of inadequacy actually increases, because I'm just going, 'Any moment, someone's going to find out I'm a total fraud, and that I don't deserve any of what I've achieved. I can't possibly live up to what everyone thinks I am and what everyone's expectations of me are.'
This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
It's a horrible thing to have someone pretend like they know what you're about and call you a fraud when they haven't given you a fair shot.
Sometimes if I tell people, 'I'm afraid that I'm really a fraud,' or 'I have a lot of self-doubt,' they go, 'Oh, no, you're kidding.' I go, 'No, I'm really honest.'
I cannot accept fraud.
