“You should figure out who you are and what you need, and then don't apologize for it.”

“All I'm saying is that sooner of later, you'll have to come to terms with yourself. You can't wish away the vampire in you, and you shouldn't keep atoning for it. You should figure out who you are and what you need, and then don't apologize for it. Not to me, to your mum, or to anyone.”

“First you find out what you have , Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more. ”

“You find out who you are by figuring out who and what you're not”

“Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.”

“Fine, tell them who you think you are. Fine, tell them fine is what you are. And when you finally figure out what it is you need, you better think of me.”
