Quote

You are who you are at this moment because of everything that's ever happened to you, everything that you carried forward for yourself.

You're not just this person who's from your own specific experiences, but the collective experience of what makes you who you are because of time.

I am I plus my circumstances.

All that I am is me. So I'm not really a poet or a writer or an actor or an activist; I'm me, and these are things that I do.

Time is something that interests me a whole lot - past and present, and how the past appears as people change.

I just am who I am.

I am who I am.

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one.

I'm alive today, therefore I'm just as much a part of our time as everybody else. The times will just have to enlarge themselves to make room for me, won't they, and for everybody else.

I've had good times and bad times. That's me. That's how I am.
