9 QUOTES WITH «SELF-CONFIDENT»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word self-confident.
1
Russell Brand
No-one really feels self-confident deep down because it's an artificial idea. Really, people aren't that worried about what you're doing or what you're saying, so you can drift around the world relatively anonymously: you must not feel persecuted and examined. Liberate yourself from that idea that people are watching you.
