Selma Blair Quotes

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

I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.

Humility is becoming a lost art, but it's not difficult to practice. It means that you realize that others have been involved in your success.

I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of.

I was suited for fame, and I mean that in the most non-egocentric way. I don't mind gearing my life towards privacy. It's my nature.

Nobody has it all, but for me to even come close is amazing.

I am not here to beat anyone. I am here to make a name for myself, and I am glad to work with great directors. I don't believe in the term 'next superstar.'

On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.

I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.

I've achieved more than some people do in a lifetime, but it doesn't mean I've done it all.

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 never considered myself to be a star - only a forward working for the team.

I'm not driven by fame or success. I'm quite a shy, introverted person, and I could easily melt away into the background.

I'm not the type of guy who goes to members of my team or the other team and says, 'Hey, I'm awesome,' because I can improve in so many ways.

My wife says to me, 'You have achieved a lot'... yeah, I do know. But... there are a couple of things I haven't.

I don't get carried away by any praise; I know I have miles to go.

I've never felt competitive; I'm not a competitive person. In general, I try not to be!

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

I always want to just stay humble, and I always want to keep climbing.

I don't really look at myself as an inspiration, more as a fellow player.

Humility enables us to learn from each other.

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.

Am I a great manager? Huh. I was blessed to have a front office that found great talent, and then I was smart enough to stay the hell out of their way.

There's times when you see people climbing and getting success and you start to see, oh, they're starting to really change. So I always just make the effort to be as humble and grateful as possible.

The day you become humble is the day you become successful.
