Elie Tahari Quotes

We're trying to get the world to see it's not always about the outside, it's about the inside.

Maybe you just don't see your own beauty.

Lately though I've been in love with myself and I've become my own best friend.

We all have to find beauty within us, as opposed to just our exterior.

What do I see when I look in the mirror? One handsome man. No, I see the same person I have seen for the last 27 years: the person I believed I could be when I was a child, the person I have inspired and dreamed to be all my life, and that's the person I have seen, from being that big to as big as the roof - the same guy.

Self-confidence is something I've always lacked in. But finally, at some point, I just decided to be honest.

I have a theory that confidence comes from self-worth.

In terms of self-esteem and confidence I think I'm generally quite healthy.

It sounds cheesy, but if you feel good about yourself, it's going to show on the outside.

It seems a strange thing, but once I was able to get past that kind of self-image problem, I was able to open up in my comedy work and just go all out, take chances, and have fun with the performance aspect of that.

I have no issues with my identity.

We all have our imperfections. But I'm human, and you know, it's important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.

I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person - you are a different person. It's superficial change that can lead to real change.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

I think everybody should focus on inner beauty.

It's one thing for other people to see potential in you, and it's quite another for you to understand that and see it in yourself.

The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.

With yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it's just a sweet girl.

Inner beauty should be the most important part of improving one's self.

'Nappy' is a state of mind, not an appearance.

I was so beautiful but I didn't realise it for years. I saw pictures of myself and even I was stunned.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.

Don't look at someone else and want to be them. Search within yourself and find out who you are and be someone positive.
