A man sufficiently gifted with humor is in small danger of succumbing to flattering delusions about himself, because he cannot help perceiving what a pompous ass he would become if he did
Konrad Lorenz
All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.
Harry S. Truman

(On fans) "More odd than daunting. And worship is possibly too strong a word or perhaps I am a little afraid to acknowledge that. It is also very flattering & pleasing.."
Adam Garcia
Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it`s always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It`s not really real to me; there`s no reality to it.
Paul Giamatti
The first time I remember women reacting to me was when we were filming Hud (1963) in Texas. Women were literally trying to climb through the transoms at the motel where I stayed. At first, it`s flattering to the ego. At first. Then you realize that they`...
Paul Newman
Toronto has such a nice balance as far as the films they show there. They kind of give an opportunity to everybody. You get the best of the best there. It`s a good standard to be held up against, and it`s very flattering to be in that festival.
Cameron Diaz
You know, it`s flattering when there`s a rumor that says I`m bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I`m open to whatever people want to call me. I`ve never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don`t think I would be afraid of it if it ...
Jake Gyllenhaal
It doesn`t annoy me, no, because I respect J-Lo. I like her, I think she`s great. And I know that I`m over a decade younger than her, it`s so flattering that I`m so young and people are comparing me to someone who has accomplished so much. But I don`t thi...
Beyonce Knowles
Obviously, all the positives are very flattering and being compared to [Mariah Carey], and I get a lot of [Britney Spears] comparisons as well, and she`s extremely talented, but we are two different artists and even when I`m doing radio interviews and stu...
Christina Aguilera
[Asiana magazine, August 2004] I`m as insecure as the next girl when it comes to the way I look, but I also know anyone can be made to look much better than they are, whether that`s through cosmetic surgery and trick photography or make-up and a flatterin...
Indira Varma
Being attractive, it`s not something I do consciously. It`s incredibly flattering that people think I appeal to women. But that was a gift from my parents. My acting, my personality - that`s what it`s about.
Ioan Gruffudd
It`d be disingenuous to say I don`t like attention - I`m an actor for God`s sake - and it`s flattering and all, but attention was never my big goal. I just like to work and have a good time. This whole business feels kind of intense, like a bad fit. Round...
Paul Giamatti
I think it`s flattering when people say I`m a role model, but I don`t think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word `role model.` I`m not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment.
Mandy Moore
I was a very shy person and, I suppose, easily manipulated. Of course, it`s flattering to feel someone desperately wants you, but looking back, it`s quite uncomfortable to realise that you were the object of desire. That`s quite a passive thing to be.
Pattie Boyd
Regarding the title The Notorious Bettie Page (2005): "Notorious? That`s not flattering at all. They should have used another word." (LA Times 3-11-06)
Bettie Page
I haven`t seen it, but when people copy you, that`s like the most flattering thing, so whatever people can say, I just laugh about it. It doesn`t matter to me. (On "South Park: Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset (#8.12)" (2004))
Paris Hilton
When you see stars at parties, it doesn`t dawn on you that it`s them. I`ve seen big celebs and want to say Don`t I know you?" I don`t consider myself a celeb or running in the same circles. I don`t expect any one to know me. But it`s always flattering whe...
Monica Keena
What I think happens, and that you have to acknowledge though, is that a director uses a book as a launching pad for his own work and that`s always very flattering.
Allen Lee
They who have reasoned ignorantly, or who have aimed at effecting their personal ends by flattering the popular feeling, have boldly affirmed that `one man is as good as another;` a maxim that is true in neither nature, revealed morals, nor political theo...
Alfred Kugal
The fact that anyone would find me sexy is very, very flattering, but ridiculous. I so don`t believe it. But I`m flattered. Truth is, I don`t lift a finger to look sexy. Ever.
Laura Prepon
One could make money and get a career going with a low-budget horror film about killers attacking on holidays. It is always flattering to have somebody copy you.
John Carpenter
It would be flattering to call it a modern Dirty Harry, but I think this film deals more with the loss of his wife than the traditional revenge vigilante films.
Vin Diesel
