I don't think people know me at all. At the end of the day, if you see me in sequins and glitter out at a club, you might think that's all there is. But, you know, it's just glitter. My friends who I've known since I was 17 - they know who I am.
I have a big, flamboyant, open personality, which I think is why people may be saying these nice things about me.
We're into this barrage of pop culture - you know, TV, movies, the Internet. We become creatures that we've made up, made of certain different flotsam from pop culture and certain different personas that are in style.
Humans are different in private than in the presence of others. While the private persona merges into the social persona in varying degrees, the union is never complete. Something is always held back.
Everyone has a private self and a public self.
I'll accept being Phoebe to people for a while longer, given how much fun it was. That's totally fair.
I didn't want to have to deal with having any moniker or separation between the self that I see and know myself as.
In every walk of life each man puts on a personality and outward appearance so as to look what he wants to be thought; in fact you might say that society is entirely made up of assumed personalities.
A man may not always be what he appears to be, but what he appears to be is always a significant part of what he is.
I'm always myself. Always. The only difference is that I come off as mean out of drag.
I'm a social caterpillar. I am not a social butterfly
If you can socialize from the privacy of your desk at night in a dark room, you can be a smoother, cooler, funnier, sexy, more everything person than you actually are in real life.
When I'm with my friends I'm funny, but I don't feel like I'm a funny clown.
If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.
I know I come off like a very outgoing person, and yeah, I'm outgoing, but there's also a part of me that still likes to be in my little shell sometimes.
You will feel that you are no longer clothing yourself, you are dressing a public monument.
Except that a human being is both the public and the private. We are both, private and public in the same person.
