If I point to anything that makes me who I am, it's that I have a whole lot of common sense. I've got a good mind and a good ability to read people and situations.
Today I will learn to reject shame. Shame is an overwhelming sense that who I am isn't good enough. I realize that I am good enough, and that my imperfections are part of being human. I let go of shame.
I'm still a little girl in Hawaii, I have the same friends I had when I was a kid who love me for who I am - not what I do. I never got caught up in the club scene or took wrong roads.
Girl Scouts offered a wonderful group of girls where common concerns and interests could come together. We could learn, be challenged, and support one another. It was a very positive aspect of my life and played an important role in shaping who I am today.
In Texas, you just learn just be nice to people and respect them, and respect where they're coming from. And understand people have different backgrounds and opinions, and there's nothing you could do about it. And that's what I've realized to shape, I guess, who I am.
When I'm not working, I want to be the version of the person that I was born to be. I was born with curly hair. It fits my personality, and it's totally who I am. I am rough around the edges, and I am not a polished girl.
You only can hurt me if I don't know who I am.
I have to show who I am, play with the crowd, play with the camera. When people come to a race, part of it is the anticipation, "What is he going to do?"
I've always been pretty confident. I grew up in a family of strong women, so I was always taught to be proud of who I am, the way I am.
I listened to that voice inside me-... Everyone has an inner voice; you just have to listen to it and trust it in order to be led by it. I did that, and it gave me the ability to live a life that's true to who I am and what I really wanted.
I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet.
I may not be able to keep fighting for money... but I will always have to fight for my dignity, because that's who I am.
People respect me; I respect them. I'll never change. I realize who I am.
This is who I am. I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.
Running is not who I am; it's something I do; it's something I love.
I'm not the type of woman who shows off my body; I'm a vocalist and I'm a writer and I think people see that more so than they see anything else. That's just who I am.
I write to try to find out who I am. One of my main themes is manliness. I think I'm trying to figure out what manliness really is.
The reason I make art is because I get to make a choice about who I am, what I do, and what I put out into the world, the footsteps I leave behind.
Autism is part of who I am.
I have simply said that there's just a side of me that could not judge anybody singing. It's not who I am. I don't want to be that person.
My great strength is knowing who I am and where I come from - my island.
I would just like to be real and be me. It's just really hard to do walking around and everyone knows who I am.
I have work, and then I have a dinner thing. And then I am busy, trying to become who I am.
You have to stand up and say, 'There's nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am; you're the one with the problem!'
Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.
