Sela Locke

If we can't be recognized for who we are, we try to be recognized for who we're not, like a tube of toothpaste, or a cardboard box. Then people see you and say, 'Wow, look at that toothpaste! It's so good at being toothpaste.'
...
What they don't realize is that anybody can be good at being toothpaste, or a dirty bottlecap. Nobody can be good at being you.
