To be successful, keep looking tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you're in the cellar), be seen in smart restaurants (even if you only nurse one drink) and if you borrow, borrow big.
When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it.
In order for me to achieve... I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.
Act confident, even when you're not.
Eighty percent of the things I do are not natural for my personality. I believe you have to fake it till you make it. Act like you're confident and you'll get there.
Even if you aren't sure of yourself, pretend that you are... most people prevaricate.
It's amazing how many things you can do when you're just pretending.
My school had the dopest arts program - the dopest show choir, the dopest marching band. I couldn't sing or play an instrument a lick, but I was just going to fake it till I make it.
Assume a virtue if you have it not.
...treat people with understanding when you can, and fake it when you can't until you do understand.
A guitar riff played on a piano doesn't come close to the purity of it being played on a guitar but I faked it enough to get by.
If you're not a confident person, pretend to be one.
You don't have to feel confident to act confident. In fact, it's the most important acting job you can learn.
There's no substitute for will. Sometimes you have to fake will when you don't feel it at all.
Don't we all just really try to fake it well?
My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing.
No need to feel brave or confident; just behave that way.
