Andre Carson Quotes

Be yourself is about the worst advice you can give to some people.

I've always been very conscious of who I am.

I'll be me, but I don't like it.

If you spend the first 30 years of your life only trying to look good, you're not going to know yourself very well. If you got it, flaunt it.

I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself.

I wasn't that hard. I wasn't that tough. I wasn't that funny - I looked like me.

I don't want to be taller; I want to be myself.

I don't want to change anything about myself.

You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else's point of view.

I wish they would only take me as I am.

I think pop culture underestimates people. The message is, 'Being yourself is the worst thing you could possibly be.' But people are still attracted to it.

I'm like, 'Yeah, I could afford braces, but why should I change myself to be what everybody else wants me to be when I'm OK with who I am and I'm happy with who I am?'

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I just am who I am.

Whenever you see people talking about how real they are or how normal they are, it seems odd to have that self awareness that you could potentially not be normal.

I don't want to be somebody else.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.
