“The only thing I want to be defined by is my music and personality.” — Jessie J Quote

The only thing I want to be defined by is my music and personality.

I want young people to know that they can belong - whatever your culture, your religion, your sexuality - that you can live life how you want to live it and feel comfortable how you are.

I remember while I was at school some of my Muslim friends talked about a handful of people spoiling things in every culture. Hatred or hurt or pain isn't specific to a religion. I think it's a matter of acceptance. The one thing the world has to accept is everybody is different. What is normal to us is different and unusual to somebody else.

I feel like a lot of the industry and media portray this image of what beautiful is, or how you should dress, or how you should look, and I don't think it's healthy.

I believe that there is an important part of every human being that is defined in terms of their significant other: how we choose our partner, and how we behave when we are with them. And that is the part that interests me. How that part of the personality is forged doesn't just interest me, it fascinates me.

I tried never to be defined by my past.

Our founders thought long and hard about what the office of president should be. George Washington resisted the role, and then defined it.

The experience of the human, male or female, cannot be completely defined by one startling, surprising, or gigantic life experience.
