Who I Am Quotes

As an actor, you know, I love not being pigeonholed, which is great. No one really knows who I am. So that’s a positive Picture Quote #1

Acting is my number one, but dancing will always be a part of who I am and in my heart. I love doing stunts when they are a part of my acting Picture Quote #1

Every day I strive to get to a place where I’m not effected by the external world, and I don’t use the external world to define or tell me who I am. I strive for a state of equanimity and calm and a state of grace, so I can be free of definitions. If you are free, then you can create beautiful things. It’s really just shutting out the noise Picture Quote #1

I think I have changed a lot. People might feel a little unfamiliar with the new me, but this is just who I am. I realised that I just want to be free Picture Quote #1

I’m pretty confident in who I am. I know that for parents everywhere, it’s my job to be a role model, and I’m going to do the best I possibly can Picture Quote #1

People try to start things with me because of who I am, and I know that means I have to stay away. Its definitely racial Picture Quote #1

I am grateful for who I am and who I am not. I am grateful for the life I have been given and for all that I have and all that I don’t. Every breath I take is a blessing and an opportunity to fully experience the sheer joy of being alive Picture Quote #1

Perhaps some are confused because they have stereotypes of how blacks should be and I respectfully decline, as I did in my youth, to sacrifice who I am for who they think I should be Picture Quote #1

I am a historian. With the exception of being a wife and mother, it is who I am. And there is nothing I take more seriously Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a very pretty girl. I’m never going to pretend to think otherwise. There are even days I feel I’m fabulously hot and sexy. I’m grateful for my looks. My family is doing well because of them. I can make career choices and turn down movies because of them and I have been making money from them for 17 years. My looks are who I am Picture Quote #1

I need some isolation, it’s necessary to me, that’s just who I am. I need to be left alone Picture Quote #1

I guess I like who I am now. I’d just like to have a little more internal peace. I’m sure everybody would Picture Quote #1

I strive to live with passion and not to be desensitised to life. Things matter to me. You’ve got to live like that. Otherwise what’s the point? It’s not possible to please everyone and there is no point in trying to be what other people think you should be. For me, it’s important to be who I am, not just to be different but to be as authentic as I can be Picture Quote #1

I consider myself a person like everyone else, and I take my time writing my records because I feel like it captures more of who I am. You have a much greater chance of hitting on themes and points... that could play into someone else’s life in a larger way Picture Quote #1

I want to be judged by who I am as a person, not by what happened to me. In fact, all the bad things have only contributed to my confidence and sense of self, because I survived them and became a better and stronger person Picture Quote #1

Everything I have experienced in my life helps form who I am today, and I would not change or forget any of it Picture Quote #1

I am fooling only myself when I say that my mother exists now only in the photographs on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on beneath everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide Picture Quote #1

It used to be irritating just because someone can meet you and before they would get a chance to get to know you, they’ll go find someone else’s story about who I am. For me personally, I just always think it’s more interesting to get to know the person myself Picture Quote #1

Being a twin, and being my sister’s twin, is such a defining part of my life that I wouldn’t know how to be who I am, including a writer, without that being somehow at the centre Picture Quote #1

If I’m who I am because I’m who I am and you’re who you are because you are who you are, then I’m who I am and you’re who you are. If, on the other hand, I’m who I am because you’re who you are, and if you’re who you are because I’m who I am, then I’m not who I am and you’re not who you are Picture Quote #1

I’m ashamed of what I did, but I’m not ashamed of what I’ve done to correct my mistakes... I’m proud of who I am Picture Quote #1

As for me, I’ve chosen to follow a simple course: Come clean. And wherever possible, live your life in a way that won’t leave you tempted to lie. Failing that, I’d rather be disliked for who I truly am than loved for who I am not. So, I tell my story. I write it down. I even publish it. Sometimes this is a humbling experience. Sometimes it’s embarrassing. But I haul around no terrible secrets Picture Quote #1

Who I am finally, if not the long silent part of someone, the secret and nocturnal part which has never betrayed itself in public by any thought, word, or deed, but communicates through subterranean depths of the imaginary with dreams as old as the world itself? Picture Quote #1

Character is like my fingerprint; it identifies me from everyone else in the world. It says who I am and where I am headed Picture Quote #1

The greatest thing that I have learned is probably the simplest thing any of us can learn: I am who I am Picture Quote #1

I like to talk. I’m a terrible dancer. I love my hometown. I have freckles and oversized ears. I’m a geeks. I have tried not to hide who I am or what matters to me Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s very offensive when I notice that it’s all about my appearance, how I look, that a man doesn’t care who I am Picture Quote #1

I’m known for long colorful locs but I still don’t take my hair too seriously. Changing it helps express who I am Picture Quote #1

I live my life in a way that I feel completely comfortable with. I don’t struggle with who I am, who I date, who I love, what I say or what I stand for, not just sexuality but everything Picture Quote #1

Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play. I’m not hiding or escaping or seeking anonymity. I reserve the right not to have a rubber stamp on my forehead saying this is who I am. Because who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play Picture Quote #1
