You know what? maybe sometimes he does. Sometimes an artist can be very proud of a piece of work. Everyone who does stuff knows what they're good at. Do you think a man who has been composing film and TV scores for over 60 years, has had his work recorded, rerecorded, played in concerts, used all over television and films and who is hailed as one of the greatest living composers doesn't have any idea of his skill level? Not every artist creates out of pain. Not every artist abandons a work because of a deadline. Sometimes, it really is completed. Writers will rewrite a chapter until it's where they want it to be. Why not a composer?
Jerry Goldsmith had work he was proud of. Leonard Rosenmann was exceptionally proud of himself. Why would John Williams, who outclassed Rosenmann's best work by a light year, be any less proud of himself?
John Williams is a classy gent. He is exactly the kind of guy we want our composers to be. But I would be more surprised if he looked back at his body of work and said "meh. It's okay, I guess."
F'k, I know it was a joke question, but somewhere along the line, maybe upon hearing E.T. performed for the first time, he sat back as said "holy crap, this is good." He's human, he's an artist and a craftsman and he has every right to be proud of his own work and aware of his own talent. I would never begrudge him that.
Compose proudly, Mister Williams!

Posting selfies of them at bullshit “award ceremonies” that consist of like, 7 people all patting each other on the back. Handing out meaningless awards to each other.
You kind of sound like you could be describing the oscars and emmys honestly...
