I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.
Don't call me a journalist; I hate the word. It's pretentious!
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are.
I guess I am a rapper. It's weird to be called that, or tell someone that's your profession.
I'm not a political comedian. That's just not what I do.
I am not a comedian, I am an actor.
I don't necessarily like being defined by my profession.
I'm very proud that on my passport it says: 'broadcaster,' and that's what I see myself as.
I'm very proud of 'Gavin and Stacey,' but I think I have to write something else even to start to consider myself a writer. Just because you do something once, it doesn't mean that's who you are. I played football last night; it doesn't mean I'm a footballer.
I think 'manager' is a stupid word.
Which is good, in a way, because the danger in doing something like STAR TREK is that you end up in that pigeonhole and you're doing that the rest of your life.
It's interesting: when you're kind of 'known' for being a writer, people don't think you've done anything else.
I'm not a writer; I'm not a novelist.
My identity is always at the forefront, and I also think that every article that is written about me refers to me as an Israeli architect.
I'm not a comedian, I'm an actor.
I made my living as an actor, and I love acting, so I'm an actor. But that gets you in a lot of trouble in the art world.
I wear this label of a Christian filmmaker proudly.
I prefer to be known as an executive rather than a girl.
It greatly upsets me when I'm called a journalistic toad - I mean, I am a journalist!
I've had menial jobs, and 'professional writer' isn't one of them.
I don't want to be defined solely by what I do as a jazz musician at a club or a festival. That's not all of me. It's not even close.
I hate that when you introduce yourself, and you're a rapper, sometimes you gotta say, 'I'm a musician.' Or, 'I'm an artist.' 'I'm a recording artist.' 'I'm a vocalist.'
I would be happy if people just called me an actor.
I don't define myself as autistic first. I don't want to be a professional autistic. I think it's important to have a real job.
I don't want to be labeled as just a producer. Producers have little control and they get little respect. And I'm a man of respect.
