Boasting of glory does not make glory.
Ostentation is the signal flag of hypocrisy.
I don't want to be the dude that you just think about with a crazy suit, talking crap, fighting in these super fights and driving a Rolls-Royce.
It's a vain craft, acting.
I thought acting was showboating.
I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.
I have the happy circumstance of either being accused of political grandstanding on the one hand or cover-ups on the other.
The right-wing just loves making a big entrance.
I'm going to show you how great I am!
I'm such a diva on set.
When it comes to Republican debates, fibs and fits come first; facts come last.
What fun is life without a bit of showing off?
Republicans will criticize whatever President Obama does because that is what they do.
Being out and about talking to residents and representing their views is, in my view, as important to politics as the grandstanding that takes place in Westminster.
The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
I was a natural drama queen when I was younger. I was always doing impersonations and showing off.
No one, not even the most malicious democrat, can form a conception of the charlatanism and self-importance of our assembled diplomacy [the Prussian parliament].
I've always been an attention seeker. I've always demanded attention and I'll do anything to get it.
Politicians talk themselves red, white, and blue in the face.
I don't like showboating. I was never a fan of showing off.
Airs of importance are the credentials of impotence.
Politicians are ambitious not to make important decisions but to say important things.
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
I've always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror.
You just don't wake up one morning and say, 'I'm going to be a talker. I'm going to be a braggart.' It's something you achieve over the years, and you get better at it. Obviously, I've gotten pretty good at it.
