Barbara Walters Quotes

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

I think one thing I've learned over the years is just that you're not going to ever please everyone, and the most important person to please is yourself.

It's really about being pleased with yourself.

I don't need to be validated by anybody else; I don't need to be accepted or approved of for my happiness.

I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of.

The only person you need to be credible to is yourself. When you stand in front of the mirror and nobody is watching, are you happy with yourself?

I kept wanting to push my image as validity; I wanted to see my portrait on a wall and know it was okay.

I didn't feel I had to prove anything more.

I think I'm cool. That's all that matters.

I am happy and content with and within myself.

I'm fine the way I am. There's nothing wrong with me.

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you're living your life doesn't matter. What matters is whether you're comfortable with it.

Do not look for approval except for the consciousness of doing your best.

I'm very comfortable with how I look. I always have been. I think I look pretty good. There's nothing I want to change. I'm pretty happy with what I've got.

I don't think there's anybody in this world who should be required to make you feel good about yourself. Be happy on your own.

If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.

You should seek approval from yourself.

I'm not running around looking for love and validation.

Unlike a lot of people, I don't need the affirmation or anything.

What I try to do is live with myself and please me. If I can't do that, I can't please anybody else or live with anybody else.

It doesn't mean a thing when others tell you you're good. You have to feel it yourself.

I don't think I need to prove anything to anybody.

I always wanted to be more validated as a human being, as a person, than I was as a player. I think that was a really hard balance for me.

I don't feel like I have to prove anybody right or wrong.

I don't need to prove to someone that I'm as good as I am.
