There's an idea about who I am that's eternally projected onto me, and then I almost feel like I have to fulfill that role. Even when things come out of my mouth, I want to be sure I'm saying exactly what I mean.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.

I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.

I got to the point where I was fed up with so many people telling me how and who I was supposed to be.

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

People often expect me to be something other than what I am.

There's so many things that people do on a daily basis that they do as a way of defining who they are. But really, what defines who you are is when circumstances push you to the edge.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I'm discovering who I am.

I've always been very conscious of who I am.

Others will always seek to define you based on what they think you represent or who they think you are. But you have to be the one to control what you do and what you say and how you present yourself.
