I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.

Leadership is not magnetic personality--that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people'--that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to higher sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.

Identify the abilities
Intelligence with poor personality
Is like a skeleton with weak muscles.
Skill in art is neither of these.
Persistence is a part of personality.

Beyond The Charade
Your personality wants drama
your soul does not
Your personality believes illusion
your soul has wisdom not confusion.
For external power from which comes from fear
is something we consciously have to overcome
while we are here.
Fear is where jealousy, anger and greed
are made-
You have to become an authentic person
who sees beyond the charade.
Live your life from your soul
and don't get caught in the personality's game.

All The Rage
Oh, what personality
they're all the rage.
People adore them
as they embrace the stage.
What is the attraction
affecting you?
Is it just something
that you can't do?
Do they deserve
all this praise?
Or is it we
love to stargaze?
We pay them so much
and glorify their name
and wish that we
could be the same.
And so we develop
idols we love
when they're just people
and not above
the audiences they entertain
for a while.
But oh what personality
and oh what style.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.

You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from.

Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics.

Cute is when your personality shines through your looks. Like, when you see someone's personality in the way they walk and you just feel like hugging them every time you see them.

Such Misconceptions
The personality of anything taken for granted,
And either consciously or unconsciously destroyed...
Can not be duplicated, revitalized or just simply replaced.
Many have attempted to do such a thing,
With hopes to capitalize and profit selfishly to themselves bring.
By restoring buildings with a luxurizing of them to take place.
Some even believe the removal of people,
That initiated a charm and grace respected and loved...
Would benefit from others tampering with it,
If the originators just weren't there 'or' solicited.
And a flair in the atmosphere was tweaked.
Such misconceptions are disappointingly not unique.
The personality of anything taken for granted,
And either consciously or unconsciously destroyed...
Can not be duplicated, revitalized or just simply replaced.
People not understanding this,
Eventually wish for a flavor their taste buds seek.
And,
Unfortunately...
These lessons aren't learned until it is much too late.
No one...and it will never be done,
Can just up and replace the personality of anything.
No matter what attempts are tried!
Or expenses wasted in the doing of it...
In denials they wish kept hidden and swept aside.

I am the least intimidating person. I think I would have done better in my career if I were a little more intimidating. Even the maid who comes to work for me once a week has found out that she can just trample over me... I'm a Cancer! We are not ferocious people.

I brought my personality and sense of wonder and I think they wrote as much of my personality as they could. I do not go around kicking butt and saving the universe all the time but they tried to capture me as best as they could in the character.

Memories
Memories
~
Some memories linger
Like a bad smell
Or the old proverbial penny
That keeps turning up
They become aspects of us
Part of our make up
The way we carry ourselves
Little personality traits
We act on memories
Judge the present day
Judge tomorrow and the future
And all the thereafter
In accordance with them
What was seen and known
Some memories stick
Cast in granite stone
Hard to break away from
I’m spent up on memories
Had enough for a lifetime
Still I use my own judgement
Based on those old memories
I’m not alone in doing that
Its part of so many others
Some I know, some I don’t
Living each new day
Reacting to the old

She Stole Me
She stole me, my identity
My personality
What I live for, What I breath for,
What I'd fight for, what I'd die for.
You told them it was your idea
You lied to them about your taste
The way you dressed
The way you wore your hair
The way you did your make-up
She stole my, my identity
My personality
What I live for, What I breath for
What I'd fight for, what I'd die for
I met a guy, who knew her from school
We dated for a while
He mentioned you a lot
It seemed he asked you first and you rejected him
he hurt me; he caused me pain; because of you
She stole my, my identity
My personality
What I live for, What I breath for
What I'd fight for, what I'd die for
All i know, is that i am me
You are you
You can never be me
I can never be consumed by you
It won't work, even though....
She stole my, my identity
My personality
What I live for, What I breath for
What I'd fight for, what I'd die for
