It's funny how we like labels. If I ever have a bookstore, I'm not going to put any labels on the sections.

Audrey Niffenegger

I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.

B. D. Wong

I like the labels because I think they tell my story in a very concise way: gay, Latino. I think the responsibility that comes with accepting labels is that now I get a chance to break stereotypes. It gives me the opportunity to tell the unique stories of what those labels mean.

Richard Blanco

I was always looking to record, but how much I actually pursued it was another thing. The major labels weren't that interested in me, and the smaller labels didn't have any money to do anything.

Dan Hicks

I hate labels, and I wear no labels. When a man has to put something around his neck and say I am, he isn't.

Pearl Bailey

We put labels on people and fight wars over them. If we truly want harmony, we have to get past the labels.

Wayne Dyer

That is the beauty when I discovered the label 'Touched With Fire.' That book defined it for me, I could be that. And we just happen to be living in one age of society that put these various labels on the condition. In Aristotle's time, it was the 'inspired state.' In the Native American cultures, you were the shaman. Labels and language creates realities, even if they are false.

Paul Dalio

I've always ignored the labels people put on things.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I don't like labels, but if you have to put a label on it, I'm a gay man.

Joel Grey

Island Records was the first record label to... acknowledge me. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. It was all the labels at once. It was absolutely insane, like, knowing that this many record labels were interested in me.

Shawn Mendes

I'm much pickier about what I put in my body. I always read labels now, whereas before I didn't even think to.

Nicky Hilton

I don't like to put labels on anyone. I'm a reporter. I'd rather observe and describe and question.

Jorge Ramos

If you look at something like Spotify, many record labels are investors in the company. So from that standpoint, the money is all going back into the labels.

Om Malik

I'm always trying to slip out of those labels everyone tries to put round your neck. We all have multiple selves.

Riz Ahmed

When people put labels on us, it doesn't always enclose everything that we are. So even though I'm proud to be Somali, I'm proud to be American, at the end of the day, I'm still Halima, and I take things from both sides and combine them, and I make my own little category. I'm me!
