Often we're recreating what we think we're supposed to be as human beings. What we've been told we're supposed to be, instead of who we authentically are. The key about the creation of full self-expression is to be authentically who you are, to project that.
The minute you or anybody else knows what you are you are not it, you are what you or anybody else knows you are and as everything in living is made up of finding out what you are it is extraordinarily difficult really not to know what you are and yet to be that thing.
It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.
People have to learn who they are - you can't have somebody else telling you who you are.
I try not to define myself. Other people are going to do that for you anyway.
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.
Ultimately, it's an illusion that you can understand yourself.
I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.
It's hard for people to see you one way, but you're really the other way, so it's kind of like, 'Who am I, who are you?' Sometimes, I confuse even myself.
You meet lots of people in your life, and sometimes you think that people are a certain way, and then they reveal themselves to be a different way.
