Michael Avenatti Quotes

I think people think I'm harder and more arrogant and cocky than I am - because I know how to put on a front, but it's nothing like who I am inside.

I'm as vain as the next guy. I have a facade on right now. But you can't see it, because it's reality-based.

If I told people that I knew what I was doing, nobody would believe me, so why even try and fake it?

Part of ego is displaying the ego. I've got ego, and I think I'm really good. But maybe I fall down in trying to sell it to people.

I feel confidence in myself, but at the same time there's these cracks in the facade and those little things underneath that are unstable.

I'm not confident at all. You just pretend you are.

I'm always super scared of feeling like a fake.

I had this giant ego of an athlete, but I was self-conscious at everything else.

I was never going to be very cute. I always looked for the best people to play with and, 'cause, to make myself look better.

What's interesting is to be sexy but not know it. You'll be in a restaurant, and some girls will walk in and you can tell that they really want to be sexy. It's written on their faces because that's all they want to show. There's a fear that one might not look further.

I don't have the confidence to be a personality.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

I am used to looking good. In a way, if I thought I looked like the back end of a bus, I probably wouldn't have done 'Strictly Come Dancing' and gone out there in public.

This arrogance thing... I've had that my whole life. I flip between, 'Oh really? Oh, thank you. Wow. That's amazing' and, 'Yeah! Of course I am.' They're both varying degrees of a self-defence mechanism. It can be from minute to minute that I change.

I never like photos of myself in the beginning. I live with them for three months, put them in a drawer, take them out and look again. I hate the way I look, but of course it's really not that bad.

I was invincible, at least that's what I wanted you to think, and I wanted me to think it, too.

No-one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea. Really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.

I don't see myself as somebody who looks particularly good in photos.

I've braved the red carpet when I didn't feel comfortable, and when I look at the pictures, it always shows!
