Conrad Vernon Quotes

If I talk about what I'm good at, I seem like I'm a conceited egomaniac.

If you're the greatest, it's okay to say you're the greatest. My suggestion to everybody is to be their own greatest fan. Weaker personas and personalities define that as egotistical or arrogant, but what it means is their self-esteem isn't that strong.

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'm quite modest. I don't want to tell people I'm a leader.

I'm not cocky. I'm not arrogant. I know my value.

I'm really bad at self-promotion.

I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

On a quick side note, I would argue that--much like Samuel L. Jackson--I am not arrogant at all; I'm just actually really, really great.

I don't really go for the swagger thing too much.

I don't wake up each morning saying, 'Oh, wow, it's me. I think I'm the cat's meow. I'm the best.'

Don't be humble... you're not that great.

There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

Conceit is bragging about yourself. Confidence means you believe you can get the job done.

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.

Any time you talk about your own stuff you sound self-aggrandising.

I definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I don't.

The delicate balance between modesty and conceit is popularity.

I'm the worst person about publicizing myself.

I said I was 'The Greatest,' I never said I was the smartest!

Self-promotion has never been a point, and I'm incredibly inept at self-promotion.

On their own merits modest men are dumb.

Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one.

A vain man finds it wise to speak good or ill of himself; a modest man does not talk of himself.

If I have to go around telling everyone how great I am, then there's something wrong with my act.

If you are the greatest, why would you go around talking about it?
