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

“The process of building trust is an interesting one, but it begins with yourself, with what I call self trust, and with your own credibility, your own trustworthiness. If you think about it, it's hard to establish trust with others if you can't trust yourself.”

“What makes you think that I give a shit about your self-confidence?”

“You spend your life so worried about what others think, when in reality, people mostly don't think. On the few occasions when they do, true, it is often something bad, but one has to at least admire the fact that they're thinking at all.”

“It's none of your concern what others say or think about you. Your happiness is your own responsibility.”

“I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.”
