Molly Bloom Quotes

Everyone's always telling you to be humble. When was the last time someone told you to be great?

I just think that you have to believe in yourself and you have to work very hard. You can't ever think that you're the best thing since sliced bread because I promise you, there are going to be Viola Davises and Jessica Chastains and Emma Stones who are the best thing since sliced bread. So take it seriously, but don't take it too seriously.

I want to appeal to everyone. Because I'm not saying I'm the best, but we the best.

I will not be modest. Humble, as much as you like, but not modest. Modesty is the virtue of the lukewarm.

Don't flaunt your success, but don't apologize for it either.

No modest man ever did or ever will make a fortune.

Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That's not to say humble people don't exist there, but ambition seems really important.

When you have a lot of success you don't need vanity any more.

I've never been pushy. People have said I should have been, more, but I'm not sure. I've watched hugely ambitious people: the minute they've got a success, they know where it's going, they know how to deal with it, and it all happens for them. Great. But that's not the way I - well, I don't like to use the word 'operate'.

There's no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn't tell you about it?

I like to think I am the best there is at what I do, and so I have conquered the world like Alexander. But I don't believe I am the reincarnation of Alexander the Great.

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.

Humble people, I've found, don't get very far.

As my father taught me, and he drove home that point, he said, 'Just remember something. You don't need to tell anybody how good you are. You show them how good you are.' And he drove that home with me. So I learned early not to brag about how good I was or what I could do but let my game take that away and show them that I could play well enough.

I never said to myself, 'I'm going to be the greatest.' I just wanted to do my own thing.

I have no interest in feeling like a trophy. Money itself has never been attractive to me; instead, I prefer ambition and integrity.

Do I respect my competition? Yeah. Do I always think that I could do a better job? Of course.

One thing that I've learned is that you don't have to be a prima donna or think you are better than other people in order to succeed.

I don't have a need to promote myself.

I think I'm the greatest chick in the game, and I expect all the others to feel the same way. If not, you're in the wrong profession.

If I am the best, I am capable of saying it, but if I find the others better, I am also capable of shutting up. And staying on the bench. Full stop.

The first thing I said to Chase Elliott when I was in Iowa at a same race as him, I told him, and he was humble as his father is humble, I said, 'Look, you can't be happy just to be here. Don't be saying, I can't believe I'm here. You're here because you're good. You've got to go out now and win.' I always tell young guys that.

I'm not trying to steal anyone's shine.

I let my life, and success, speak for itself.

I had it in my mind: to be confident, and to keep saying that until the confidence appeared. But I took it too far. Confidence did help make me champion, but, man, I took it to a whole different level. I was a megalomaniac. I was not humble and it eventually came back on me. So I want my kids to know, keep humbleness and kindness in their hearts. It will prevail.
