Everybody has their story - at some point you have to say, 'This is who I am: Now it's up to me to become what I want to be.'
I'm trying to make myself better. But I don't regret anything that I've gone through, because it makes me who I am.
'The Waltons' was profoundly important after years of wandering around. I was 44 and cut off from family and friends. It nurtured me back to a sense of family and who I am. It was a transforming experience.
While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.
OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.
One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you.
I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.
Luckily, I don't have to be anybody but Yolanda, because people don't expect me to be anything other than who I am. For an artist, it's a great place to be.

I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being.
We gave up having a TV last year. I am out of the loop. Life is way better than TV. I recommend it to anyone who has forgotten they have one.
Films don't decide my whole life. They are just a part of who I am. What I do in my personal life should be of no concern to the filmmakers or the fans.
I am a very shy person who is just close to himself. So I would refrain from talking about my personal life.
One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.
I've fully embraced who I am. I stopped fighting with people and just come to realize, 'This is me. This is all of me.'
I am a 21st century person who was accidentally launched in the 20th. I have a deep nostalgia for the future
How do I tell people who I am? Not being a writer, the only way is to sing songs that reflect my opinions.
I don't profess to be an expert on anything, or have the memory for who ran in 1952. I am an informed American citizen, that's my position.
