My mother had two unshakable beliefs that she tried to drill into me. The first was that I had to study and work twice as hard as my white peers if I wanted to survive in America, and the second was that it was delusional and dangerous to believe I possessed the same freedom white people had to pursue my dreams.

Jenny Zhang

Maybe I'm delusional but I'm usually funny. It's not 100% but I have a pretty good batting average.

Adam Carolla

I know I am delusional at times, but I'm not completely-out-of-touch delusional.

Adam Rippon

I was putting on a stiff upper lip and trying to fulfill the obligations I thought were demanded of me, taking over my father's role of taking care of my mother... and having to be the recipient of her confessions and emotions but of a delusional nature.

Allen Ginsberg

You have to be delusional to get into this business, you know?

Anderson East

I think it was a possibility, I think we're all kind of delusional like that, we think that we can all carry on being who we are without bending ourselves to make ourselves acceptable and expect someone to come along and see to us and rescue to us.

Brendan Gleeson

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a delusional Housewife in possession of an audience must be in want of a ludicrous storyline.

Carole Radziwill

I think one of my biggest attributes as a person and a businessman in wrestling is I'm very self-aware. There's a reason why I like all of the negative comments on social media. It's because I'm not delusional about my skillset, about my consistency and what I have to offer.

Cody Rhodes

With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative; I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.

David LaChapelle

History is delusional. Not just an illusion, it's a delusion. America is this giant country, so it has these big delusions, and history is where delusions play out.

David Means

Americans thinking that America will continue to lead the world in innovation and quality of life without some quick and serious educational improvements are dangerously delusional.

Dean Kamen

I thought I was good before I had any right to. But I think you got to feel that way. You got to think that. I wasn't delusional. I knew I had talent.

Diane Warren

Men are taught that if we are not the ultimate provider, we are a complete failure. We have to be number one in everything we do. There is nothing more delusional or paralysing than what I have just described.

Edgar Ramirez

It boils down to this: do they have the ability? If they want to be a singer and have a good voice, then yes. I would support them in it 100 per cent. But I see so many people who are delusional, and I would tell my kids if it wasn't a realistic goal.

Emma Willis

I always have a rough outline, but I'm shocked at how little I actually follow it. Those characters keep doing things that I never expected. I think if I crept up to my keyboard and peeked, they'd be talking about things behind my back. Okay, that's a little paranoid and delusional... but just a little.

Eric Walters

The greatest thing about siblings is you constantly have someone putting you in check; there's no room to get delusional about yourself.

Erin Foster

There are so many shows that are 'white,' and we wanted to talk about how two really delusional, cliche white girls handle racial issues.

Erin Foster

I'm a bit delusional, but every time I do a job, I think I'm retired.

Evangeline Lilly

I mostly like politicians. Very few of them are evil, although quite a lot are delusional.

Gavin Esler

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

Gene Simmons

When you really think about it, I'm not delusional enough to think that what I do is important to life as we know it on this planet. No. But neither is what you do.

Gene Simmons
