A Quote by Maurice Sendak

I didn't have much confidence in myself... never. — © Maurice Sendak
I didn't have much confidence in myself... never.
Injuries made people lose confidence in me, but I never lost confidence in myself.
I’m more comfortable with myself than when I was younger. I hated myself then. Wait, I didn’t hate myself – that’s a strong word. But I was so diffident. I didn’t know how to act, for one. I had no confidence in that area or in myself at all, really. I had a big inner critic and still do. I just don’t listen to it so much.
I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch.
I started to change. It was sort of a restaurant mid-life crisis, you could say. I lost a lot of confidence, not so much as a father or as a friend, but as a boss, as a chef that's to make decisions throughout the day all the time. I just slowly started burning out. Once you lose your confidence like that, you start being angry in the kitchen. I couldn't recognize myself anymore. I started writing the journal. It was never meant to be a book, but the editor at Phaidon read parts of it. As editors do, I guess.
I never lost confidence in myself.
I never had a lot of confidence in myself.
Never put much confidence in such as put no confidence in others.
I have been in slumps before where I've never lost confidence in myself.
I have so much more confidence in myself now than I ever did before.
I beat myself up the whole time because I'm striving for something I'll basically never achieve. I portray this image of confidence, of arrogance, and it's not really me. I'm never satisfied, and I'm never content. It means I'm a bit of a mess some of the time.
People never have confidence in a Big Talker. They know his statements must be cut down, but they can never tell how much.
I love to have confidence, but that confidence doesn't come from myself. It comes from God, and that's what I wanted America to see.
I have a ridiculous amount of confidence of protecting myself, but along with that confidence comes the ability that you don't need to fight.
Dance allows confidence to grow and inhibitions to fall away, and I pride myself on building people's confidence.
I'm not comparing myself with anyone, but I am very confident about my captaincy, as I have already led India and in the IPL also. I have confidence I can bring out each player's ability fully and also give them a lot of confidence... I would like to stick to what I know best and what I have confidence in.
The stuff I've seen and lived and survived. Gun to my head, cops coming to your house. I had the confidence of telling myself that I'm going to make it. Everything I've been through, I could've had a mental breakdown, but I kept it together. If I didn't have that confidence I wouldn't have made it. That confidence has nothing to do with basketball.
