Al Alvarez
I try not to have too much of an ego. I'll do anything.
Rob Schneider
I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it.
Valerie Harper
I was a bit worried coming back to the Premiership from America, but I have been pleased with my form, and the interest I have received has been good for my ego. I have no worries about my fitness, and I am really looking forward to the season starting now.
Richard Gough
I'm aware that, from the outside, this looks like I've got quite an ego.
Kevin Spacey
I'm not crazy about arenas just because I can sell them out. It doesn't do anything for my ego at all. I want to play places where people don't have to sit in the nosebleed seats and wonder what the hell is going on.
Whitney Houston
I'm not in front of the camera, they are. I encourage them; I build up as much of their confidence and ego as possible. They've got to take control; I can't act it out.

Scott Hamilton
I'm very competitive, and my ego couldn't handle that lack of success.

If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work.
Peter Fonda
If my ego was out of whack and I believed I could carry anything off, that would be a stupid risk. But so far there's been no reason not to try anything.
Kathleen Turner
If you're in such a position of power and your ego is such that this is not possible, then its essential to have a small cadre of very bright, committed people who are questioning, exploring and understanding these emerging concepts.
Dee Hock
If you're working out in front of a mirror and watching your muscles grow, your ego has reached a point where it is now eating itself. That's why I believe there should be a psychiatrist at every health club, so that when they see you doing this, they will take you away for a little chat.
Lewis Black
In a novel, I could submerge my ego in a character's and let his perceptions take over.

Eberhard Weber
It was 100 percent music. There was no ego involved, no attitudes, no black and white, it was pure music.

It was important to have a similar energy in my performance. To make the character too different would have just been about my ego because it didn't need to be drastically different.
Brandon Routh
It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego.

Herbie Mann
My performances have finally caught up with my ego.
Ato Boldon
My personal life is the same. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I love what I do, and it's a great job. But it's like my alter ego. There's Chris Brown the singer. And there's Christopher Brown, the down-home Tappahannock boy that plays video games and basketball and hangs out.
Chris Brown
Nations have their ego, just like individuals.
James Joyce
Never let your ego get so close to your position that when your position goes, your ego goes with it.
Colin Powell
Nobody ever said that growing old would be easy. Just having to hold the newspaper out in your forties and then hair growing out of unusual parts of your body in your fifties. It's tough on the ego.
Geoffrey Rush
One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.

Stupidity combined with arrogance and a huge ego will get you a long way.

That's the most beautiful thing that I like about boxing: you can take a punch. The biggest thing about taking a punch is your ego reacts and there's no better spiritual lesson than trying to not pay attention to your ego's reaction.
David O. Russell
