It takes a special kind of narcissist to quote himself. Sure, non-fiction writers often develop opinions about the things they’re writing about and parrot them back to a colleague or friend when asked about them later. Talking heads on news programs do this all the time — paraphrasing quotes and rattling off facts they may have posted that morning on their blog. Hell, even movie stars on talk shows tell the same story on different outlets a few nights apart. But none of those things are the same as quoting yourself the way James Cameron did recently when he was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Director for “Avatar.” And that wasn’t even the first time he did it.

When Cameron won the Oscar for directing “Titanic” in 1998, he closed his acceptance speech with one of the film’s most famous lines: “I’m the king of the world!” He then hoisted his trophy above his head and let out one final “Woo hoo ooh” before walking offstage. Reminder: Cameron wrote the screenplay for “Titanic.”

When Cameron won the Golden Globe recently for directing “Avatar,” he inserted a line in Na’vi, the language spoken by the sapient humanoid indigenous inhabitants of the fictional moon Pandora (yeah, we said it!) in the film. “I just want to say,” the shaggy-haired director said, “Bonati komaei mismoka mismokay — which means, I see you, my brothers and sisters.” In fairness, the fictional language in the film was created by Dr. Paul Frommer, a USC linguist, but the screenplay was penned solely by Cameron, so technically, he’s still quoting himself. What a douche.
