John C. Wright Quotes

We all need a firm sense of identity.

I'm still very much Kate.

My hair was so much a part of my personality and all my photo shoots. I hid behind my hair. And then, I just decided I was okay with myself. To have short hair and really show my face is even more revealing than anything. It's a statement - not to everyone else, more to myself. I'm just ready to get out from behind my hair and be myself.

I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.

Whatever your image is, it's probably not you, but it affords you the freedom to live up to it.

Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.

Things like the movie 'Memento' are interesting to me because our memories of the things we've done and how we've behaved form our notion of who we are, what our character is. So if part of that were missing, what does that actually say about you? And what does it say about your sense of responsibility for things if you can't remember them?

What do I see when I look in the mirror? One handsome man. No, I see the same person I have seen for the last 27 years: the person I believed I could be when I was a child, the person I have inspired and dreamed to be all my life, and that's the person I have seen, from being that big to as big as the roof - the same guy.

I don't want to change anything about myself.

When I started wrestling and then turned into the Evil Queen, I created this character who I needed in my personal life. This woman who is strong, intelligent, confident, empowering. That's what I needed in my personal life.

I wear my personality on my sleeve, for sure, and my look is constantly changing because so am I.

The way I move, the way I think, the way I handle myself - it might be by accident, but it's who I am, and I've just learned to own that.

Clothes have helped me a lot, they helped fix my identity crisis.

Man is what his dreams are.

If I forget, then it might as well never have happened. Memory is liberty.

Few have wished for memory so much as they have longed for forgetfulness.

There is nothing that makes a man more self-satisfied than a poor memory.

A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.

I was very shy growing up. My shyness manifested as a big personality, as opposed to the wallflower personality. It's been a journey getting comfortable in my skin. I've worked on trying to find the authentic balance between the bravado of my personality that was sort of a defense and the truth within my bigness.

I wonder how I seem to them. They must see someone I don't see. Someone capable and strong. Someone I can't be; someone I can be.
