I am a writer and always was; being a writer is an integral part of my identity. Being published, being well regarded, is a component of that identity.
Brian Aldiss

I began wearing hats as a young lawyer because it helped me to establish my professional identity. Before that, whenever I was at a meeting, someone would ask me to get coffee.
Bella Abzug

I claimed identity as Jewish musicians for political reasons, because most of us were touring in Germany and, at this time, twelve years ago, there was a strong resurgence of Nazism in the places we were touring and part of that was on the music scene.
Marc Ribot

I come from a country and also a continent whose identity is in the making. We're a very young culture, and I think that things are not yet crystallised.
Walter Salles

I don't have the identity of any of them. I only had the nicks that they used on Internet Relay Chat.
Jon Johansen

I don't know what issues concerning identity have helped contemporary fiction evolve to what it is now. All I know is that the range of voices that are being heard and published is a lot more diverse than when I was coming up.
Jessica Hagedorn

I don't need to worry about identity theft because no one wants to be me.
Jay London

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.
Sachin Tendulkar

I found a greater identity with my own emotions in the Armenian culture as I grew older, as well as from the beginning, although I didn't know anything about it.
Alan Hovhaness

I grew up with art from the innocent age of ten - with art, but with no sense of identity.
John Lone

I have done everything I can to make sure my daughter knows her father because you form your own identity by rebelling against your parents - but first you have to know them.
Greta Scacchi

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.
Lisa Kudrow

I lay a lot of blame at the feet of Dusty Baker for not being more strict about fundamentals, which I think would give the team a stronger day-to-day identity.
Billy Corgan

I love acting but I don't like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are preceving you.
Nicole Kidman

I think everybody faces challenges in their lives. I've definitely been through it - not to the extreme that Astrid did. I try to keep some kind of identity and strength.
Alison Lohman

I think the Lower East Side inspires me. That whole neighborhood, a lot of the people that I worked with, seeing what we've gone through in life, being given an opportunity to understand who I am; my identity, my culture, and my roots.
Luis Guzman

I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day.
Gregg Easterbrook

I think we carry around the idea of being a Kid in the Hall as part of our identity. It's a big part of how we see ourselves now.
Dave Foley

I threw myself into this artform because photography had given me a new sense of mission and identity.
Bob Anderson

I took three years off. I differentiated myself from the industry. Found my identity - sort of... I haven't graduated yet. I'm not legitimately educated yet, but maybe one day.
Claire Danes
