Individuals are complex and deserve to be recognized as such.
My culture comes from everywhere. I'm sick of this notion of nationality, that if you're brought up in the same city or same country you're the same. Even three kids brought up in the same family with the same genes, they are not the same. Just consider a human a human.
Instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else, be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities. A fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.
Even if one is neither vain nor self-obsessed, it is so extraordinary to be oneself - exactly oneself and no one else - and so unique, that it seems natural that one should also be unique for someone else.
The great decisions of human life have as a rule far more to do with the instincts and other mysterious unconscious factors than with conscious will and well-meaning reasonableness. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form- an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.
Most people are other people.
O why was I born with a different face? Why was I not born like the rest of my race?
Working with the doctors is a fascinating two-way process. I am interested in what they suggest about why I'm the way I am. But if they could make me 'normal', I wouldn't want that. I've been like this for so long, it's what makes me .
Being different is a talent. You illuminate what makes you special in the sea of sameness around you.
It's hard for me to describe my own style because I'm me.
Unhappiness comes when you try to be like everyone else rather than embracing the unique person that you are.
Everyone always said, 'When you're 10, you'll want to be Elizabeth, or when you're in college.' And every time, I was was just like, 'No, I'm Beanie. That's who I am.' So I love my name because I think it really suits me.
I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things.
If someone says 'Give me one word of advice,' I say 'be fearless.' And knowing without any shadow of a doubt that what they have to give - who they are - is totally unique and not shared by anybody else. And to believe in that uniqueness. It took me decades before I developed courage as an actor.
I think everyone is beautiful in their own way.
That's really just the worst part of life really, you get bracketed somewhere and the next thing you know people are saying, 'No. No. That's not the type. Get me so and so.' I'm not a type. I'm an actor.
I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.
I am very proud to be a Latina, because that's also something that makes me very unique.
When we embrace the things that make us unique, our true and remarkable capabilities are revealed
Government cannot ensure equal results because every individual differs.
I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.
Remember what things make you special and embrace those because there are so many things that aren’t on the outside that are so important and people find so beautiful.
My behavioural problems are non-existent because all my freakiness, I guess, is manifested in a visual way. And I never have come unravelled.
Be different - without concern for what others think.
My state of being is just unique.
