Larry Norman Quotes

I'd like people to understand that I do have some personality.

I don't want to give people the impression that I'm an almost perfect human being.

When you are in the public eye, it is really counterproductive to think about how you're viewed in the eyes of others. You just have to be who you are.

I'm 25. I'm a white, blonde girl in the entertainment industry - it's so easy to fall into a world of pleasing everyone. I feel more comfortable showing all these odd angles to myself.

I'm just me. Just Kyle from Sheffield. That's all I see myself as.

I'm not perfect-looking and I don't say the right things, I'm a little different, nothing really special, but I guess I come across as a little more real to people and that comes through on the screen. I know I look young, but with the right make-up I can look older. I definitely feel older.

I'm not out here to be showing you I'm this perfect person.

I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.

I don't pretend to be perfect. I want people to see me as I am.

I have no interest in ever coming out. I’m just trying to make the pictures look good; I’m not into trying to make myself look good. And besides, it’s a pretty safe bet that the reality of me would be a crushing disappointment to a couple of 15-year-old kids out there.

I always introduce myself as an encyclopedia of defects which I do not deny. Why should I? It took me a whole life to build myself as I am.

There is a part of me that is desperately wanting to not necessarily be this cute, endearing, heart-on-his-sleeve type of character that just wants to be liked.

I'm a 'What you see is what I want you to see' kind of girl . . . When I first started, I just wanted to be perfect. I wanted to say I loved bunnies and rainbows and world peace. I realized that the only way to be perfect was to embrace your imperfections.

Sometimes when I go out on the road, I feel almost embarrassed or dismayed because I can't be the image of what kids want me to be. So I just try to be myself, and usually that works out OK.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

It's lame to say that I'm a normal girl, but I think I am.

I am not trying to give an image of a fairytale, perfect, everything else, I am just being myself.

I find it very hard to take myself seriously.

I'm just myself, so I don't know that I think of myself as a nerd icon.

I have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.

I'm not perfect.

In my job, I am portrayed as a misfit, a grandiose high fashion lady or an unearthly creature. At home, it's important I can look in the mirror, strip away the disguise and be comfortable with who stares back.

I don't think of myself as hot or cool or anything, just a dork.

I have never felt that the one thing that I am 'known for' is what I am.
