Today I had nothing to do so I checked out youtube and in the recommended for me was a Bette Davis interview from 1988 with Larry King. She said something that caught my attention, so I wrote it down.
"If you've never been done as a caricature, you have nothing. You don't have anything definite. You don't have a way of speaking that's different. You don't have mannerisms that are different. Really and truly, I was glad when they characterized me."
I love this quote because it says something about people who are individuals. It may be just what people mean when they talk about the "it" factor. There has to be something different about you to make you noticable. I think she may have unintentionally and wittily described an important factor to success! Now I will take it as even more of a compliment if anyone calls anything I do different.
