I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what that is.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.

I want to be normal. I really want anonymity.

I really want to write a novel. I also want to learn to play the mandolin.

I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself. I want to avoid becoming too styled and too 'done' and too generic. You see people as they go through their career, and they just become more and more like everyone else.
