One thing you should know about me is I never play to lose. Always aim high and rarely obey the rules.

Its just easier for me to program and I like the node offs and mono pads. I can just do more with it. I guess cause I know it better.

This competition was not easy but I have been in form. I thought that I would be able to achieve the score. I am happy with it and this is my personal best.

Honestly, I keep believing in myself that I can win a Slam. I am definitely sure I can win one. It’s just a matter of putting the pieces in the puzzle.

I know I’m strong, and that’s good.

It is about that self-belief, that self-drive, that has got me to where I am now.

I’m going down as a legend, whether or not you like me or not. I am the new Jim Morrison. I am the new Kurt Cobain.

I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things.

I still think I am the greatest.

Bollywood is huge. Anything that’s made in large quantity will evidently overshadow others. But that won’t stop artistes from making albums. A person who has faith in his music will go ahead.

People who want to jump on to criticise should just wait and give a young player time. I know the player that Havertz is going to be.

I’ve been told I couldn’t do it a billion times in the past few weeks but I’m so happy I’ve done the two-sport thing and proved you can do amazing things. I’m glad I’m standing here as a role model showing people you can achieve these things if you put the hard work in.

Say what you think, Love who you love.

I have never been worried about the future. I will always be able to drive my own feet.

When you get a chance to play, if you help them win a game, then the team will start believing that the player can also do this for the team. So building that confidence for yourself and the team is very important.

Sometimes, you tend to hold back, maybe because you have lost a few wickets or something. But when I bat, I’m never shy of doing what my mind says.

It took me a long time to realise that I need to stay true to my game.

I have always felt like I am a positive player.

I always knew I had the game to do well in every format. It was just a matter of time.

For anybody, faith and belief are everything you have. Nobody gave me the India cap; nobody taught me to go and get runs. It’s a belief I had in myself.

For me, aggression means not to be shy and to do what your mind tells you.

Every player needs that one or two innings to get the confidence in whatever format to realise that he’s good enough to be successful in whatever conditions or at whatever level.

It’s not longer ‘Look what I can do, I can do it better then you.’ It’s just I am.

Proving himself to himself was no small matter.

All the happiness, self-confidence, and support you’re seeking is already within you.

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence

I am very self-critical and always will be. I think this makes me want to improve, always. But just because I’m self-critical and say what I thought of my performance in a game, it doesn’t mean I will bring myself down, ever.

I’m not ashamed of who I am or what I’ve been through. I’m proud of it. And that’s what makes me who I am.

I don’t think my brand of self-confidence and self-assuredness can come from an outside source. It’s got to come from me.

I’m a handsome man with a charming personality.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

There’s no better makeup than self-confidence.

I’m not here to be average, I’m here to be legendary.

Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

I am what I am. A fighter. I’ll always be one.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

You call me gay, but I can get your girl screaming louder on the computer seat by just clicking ‘Follow’ on her Twitter.

Most people search high and wide for the key to success. If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within.

The cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him.

The prediction I can make with the highest confidence is that the most amazing discoveries will be the ones we are not today wise enough to foresee.

The most vital quality a soldier can possess is self-confidence, utter, complete and bumptious.

There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That’s perfectly all right: it’s the aperture to finding out what’s right. Science is a self-correcting process.

I think he’s a very talented player, but he’s not in the same class as me.

If one’s actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others.

It makes me self-conscious. It’s because I’m known, in the limelight, that it’s getting all the gravy, but if you knew, if you saw some of the people who make it possible for UNICEF to help these children survive. These are the people who do the jobs-the unknowns, whose names you will never know…I at least get a dollar a year, but they don’t.

One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.

I set out to be the best and I am

When your vision is powerful enough, everything else falls into place: how you live your life, your workouts, what friends you choose to hang out with, how you eat, what you do for fun. Vision is a purpose, and when your purpose is clear, so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith, there is no anxiety, no doubt – just absolute confidence.

I understand that the results I’ve had in my career, or I’m having now, they are very good. And that gives me confidence, of course, but I do not feel invincible.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. But with self-confidence you can succeed. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence leads to self-realization and successful achievement.

Never have I ever needed anybody.

I won’t let anyone dull my shine.

Man, it’s all love. You can’t learn without my brother ’cause it’s all us.

No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets, I’m going to make it.

Tell yourself that if it’s hard, I’ll do it hard. I’m unstoppable!

You have to know within yourself that you can do this.

All your life they will tell you no, Quite firmly and very quickly, And you will tell them yes.

All honor’s wounds are self-inflicted.

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

I’m confident with my ability.

I know now that it’s really important to feel beautiful. There is a power to that.

Not even they can stop me Now. Their heavy words cant bring me down.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do.

The most decided men of character are often those whose inferiority in talent prevents them from being self-confident

The best time for frames of mind, and all the best proofs of self-possession, is to mark that the people with whom we are dealing are as fully entitled to their frames of mind as we are to ours.

Cheers to my Haters, There is so much more to come!

Every man for himself

Your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.

I’m not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I’m definitely an individual.

Be thankful for the hard times, for they have made you.

The path of awakening is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not

There is so much coldness because we do not dare to be as cordial as we are.

Basically, at the very bottom of life, which seduces us all, there is only absurdity, and more absurdity. And maybe that’s what gives us our joy for living, because the only thing that can defeat absurdity is lucidity

Growth takes place when the next step forward is subjectively more delightful, more joyous, more intrinsically satisfying than the previous gratification which we have become familiar and even bored.

I’m a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.

Whatever you are, be a good one

You can wear whatever you want as long as you believe in it.

A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage – what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say,’Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.

I don’t know if this is too much for your magazine, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm.

When you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.

In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it.

I’m beautiful in my way ’cause God makes no mistakes. I’m on the right track baby, I was born this way.

When I was really young, I busted my nose when I was racing. The first thing my dad asked me was: ‘Are you OK?’ I said, ‘Can you fix the car for tomorrow?’ And I won the race the next day.

I have no fear of death, so I don’t think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I’m very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It’s not driving – it’s everything – it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can.

I think grooming is definitely undervalued by men. We all expect women to be fully groomed, which they do. But I also think it’s just as important for a man to look fresh and clean.
