I've always been a down-to-earth business guy.
Modesty is a learned affectation. It's no good. Humility is great, because humility says, 'There was someone before me. I'm following in somebody's footsteps.'
I just kind of, like, put stuff together. I don't really try to make it seem like a 'look.'
Humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how wonderful you are.
Pope Francis reminds us of Pope John XXIII because both men share the same lack of self-consciousness, and neither needs to keep his guard up through the use of psychological defenses such as rationalization, projection or intellectualization.
I have strengths, and I have weaknesses. I don't pretend to be able to write a great thesis or doctorate - I have no pretensions in that direction.
It is easy for a somebody to be modest, but it is difficult to be modest when one is a nobody.
Humble Hearts have humble desires.
I've never worried about what audiences would accept or had a game plan regarding the career. I never had an idea of how I should look to my fans or anybody else.
I'm not overly analytical, and I don't set out to make something particularly.
You must not on any account give me credit for being penetrating. I have impressed people that way before, and the result is always disaster.
I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.
I am quite a down-to-earth person.
