Luke Mitchell Quotes

I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.

I always feel like I'm struggling to become someone else. Like I'm trying to find a new place, grab hold of a new life, a new personality. I guess it's part of growing up; it's also an attempt to reinvent myself.

If you are fragmented and uncertain, it is terrifying to find the boundaries of yourself melt.

So many people go through life, and they never deal with their own issues, no matter what the issues are - ours happen to be gender identity. But, how many people go through life and just waste an entire life 'cause they'd never deal with themselves to be who they are.

Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused.

It was sort of an experiment to try to leave the violin. Can I be a real person without this thing? It was a big part of my identity.

I lost myself in the process and I realized how much I had identified myself with Maria Shriver, newswoman. When that was gone, I had to really sit back and go, 'Well, actually, who am I today?'

I think that we're all continually searching for who we are, and that's ever-evolving and changing.

Everything when you're a teenager is a projection. Or at least, for me, it was. 'Who am I gonna be?'

There's nothing harder than defining oneself.

I know for myself, and maybe I'm weird or whatever, but the whole thing is about constantly redefining identity.

As a teenager, you're still discovering who you are, what your life is about, and who you want to be as a person. It's very intense.

As we wrestle with questions of identity, we imitate those actions we think best fill an ambiguity we have within ourselves. And that goes for everyone; no one is free from this condition.

I don't even know who I am. All I know is that I am the sibling, daughter, sister, the friend of somebody, and I need to know who I am outside of that.

I might not ever fully know who I am, but I also believe that I could be whoever I want, whenever I want.

The search for a personal identity is the life task of a teenager.

I make myself up from everything I am, or could be. For many years I was more desire than fact. When I stop becoming, that’s when I worry.

I mean, we're all trying to find out who the hell we are, aren't we?

I think people who struggle to define themselves might never be satisfied because there is no definition. Living with responsibility is important, but I don't really think you have to grow up.

It is therapeutic for me to act, to be able to slip into somebody else's skin, and know it's not you, but know that you bring a lot of yourself to it. At times in my life it's provided me with a lot of confusion. It's also provided me with a lot of discovery.

My life has changed. I'm not walking around any more wishing I wasn't me, which was the case at one time.

I'm always trying to figure out what my taste is, what my likes and dislikes are.

It took me a while to find myself.

I had a tough time fitting in, as I guess most kids do. I felt like school was kind of a grand opportunity to figure yourself out and to figure out what you wanted.

All my life, I have taken inventory at intervals. For example, when I became a movie actor and suddenly I had to deal with fame, money and playing so many roles, I lost myself. I said, 'Who am I?' And I wrote my first book to deal with that, 'The Ragman's Son.'
