Liz Phair Quotes

At one point, people are going to have to realize that maybe I know what I'm doing.

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

Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you’re better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys.

It took me a long time to realize that to walk around without a certain amount of belief in myself, to walk onto a job with my tail between my legs, wasn't behooving anyone else.

I can't assume that people see me the way I see myself. I have to show them. But I can't do it in a way where it's too much, where it's rude. I feel like when you're a king, you lead. And I just see myself as a king, or as something more than just a regular human being.

I'm the best and I'll thank you to remember that.

People thought I was cocky because I didn't talk much. When I first turned pro, reporters asked me who was going to win. I'd say, 'I am' because it was the easier than giving some long, drawn-out answer.

I am a little - I won't say arrogant - self-assured.

I am not stupid. I don't think I have to prove that to anyone.

Some people confuse confidence with arrogance. There's no doubt in the business world there are a few big egos and I think arrogance can get in the way. But if you have the confidence to go to your higher superior and say this is wrong, it can make a difference.

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm arrogant. I'm just confident.

Self-confidence may be mistaken for egotism if it is not accompanied by humility of the heart.

I'd be conceited if I said I could, but I'd be lying if I said I couldn't.

There has never been a poet or orator who thought another better than himself.

Confidence, not cockiness. Knowing who you are is confidence. Cockiness is knowing who you are and pushing it down everyone's throat.

I've never had that concern of thinking of myself as stupid.

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.

Let the degree of egotism be the measure of confidence.

People say my ego is grand. I think it's in proportion to me.

Confidence is a reduction of your own interest in whether others are thinking about you and if so, what they're thinking.

Confidence is essential, but ego is not.

There's me and then there's you, and you aren't ever going to be as good as me, Sweet Thing." Ranger

I never think I have to prove something.

I'm not insecure, but I'm not like, 'Hi, I'm confident.'

The definition of swagger, in my opinion, is you have to have that arrogance, that confidence that you are the best out there at all times.
