It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.

You were born an original. Don't die as a copy.

You must have control of the authorship of your own destiny. The pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand.

We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess, to gain applause which he cannot keep.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
