Narcissistic Quotes

I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there's already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, 'Really, one more?' So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection - there's no middle man muddling it up.
Kelly Clarkson

Love, Fun, Made

John Cusack

Movies, Thinking, Done

It's a deep and all but certain truth about narcissistic personalities that to meet them is to love them, but to know them well is to find them unbearable. Confidence quickly curdles into arrogance; smarts turn to smugness, charm turns to smarm.
Jeffrey Kluger

Love, Truth, Confidence

I fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school. Like all red-blooded teen American boys, I'd come home from water polo practice and eat a box of Entenmann's Pop'Ems donut holes in front of the TV while obsessively fawning over 'All My Children' and Erica, her clothes, and her narcissistic attitude.
Andy Cohen

Love, Home, Attitude

Children, Same, Here

Ryan Kwanten

Time, Long, Real

Self, American, Ideas

Aimee Mann

Music, Greed, Thinking

Jason Isaacs

Human, Acting, Hunger

Jake Owen

Good, Yourself, Game

Mike Leigh

Work, Selfish, Acting

Omar Sharif

Movies, Yourself, Problem

State, Ourselves, Portrait

Barry Hannah

Men, Sad, Angry

Happy, Mother, Joy
