There are stories I wanted to tell, and they are not defined by what I look like.

I have always been a singer, a writer, and a musician, not as a prodigy or as in a trade handed to me by my parents, but because of an inner voice or maybe a command from beyond reality as it is usually defined.

You don’t need to be defined by your job.
No one has really ever defined what a friend is.

The freedom of expression cannot be defined selectively.
I love tennis. But even if I become the greatest of all time, I still don’t only want to be defined by tennis. I’m my own person. And I want to be remembered as I really am.

I like stories in specific time periods. ‘The Revenant’s’ era of American history was fascinating because it was this lawless no-man’s land. It defined the idea of the American frontiersman as man conquering nature. In a way, the story of Hugh Glass is about man dominating nature.

The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it’s beyond that.

Unlike the heart or kidney, which have a small, defined set of cell types, we still do not have a taxonomy of neurons, and neuroscientists still argue whether specific types of neurons are unique to humans. But there is no disputing that neurons are only about 10 percent of the cells in the human brain.

For sure, one moment really defined the path that I was to take in the future, and that was when I won the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in New York in April of 1995.

Every country can be defined through their food, their music and their language. That’s the soul of a country.

I don’t think every relationship needs to be defined.

My career has been defined, in a good way, on the option route. And a lot of times, it’s a bang-bang play. It’s a great play because it can convert first downs. But at the same time, you don’t get a lot of those opportunities in the open field.
Extroverts never understand introverts, and it was like that in school days. I read recently that all of us can be defined in adult life by the way others perceived us in high school.

People think that whatever happens on the football field should define me way one or the other. A lot of people say, ‘I can’t believe you don’t think more highly of yourself, two-time MVP, Super Bowl MVP,’ but it’s like, whatever. It just happens to be what I do. I want to be defined by what I believe in, by who I am.
We’re kind of defined by our mistakes.

I went through a few phases of finding myself: I dabbled in musical theater, chess club, dance troupe, splatter-painting, school mascot (go Wildcats), babysitter, photojournalist, drill team girl, emo kid – and not one of them defined me, but every single one will always play a part in who I am.
