"I see myself as the same person as I was, as I am now"
About this Quote
The phrasing does a lot of work. "I see myself" is a soft qualifier that acknowledges the gap between private identity and public projection without litigating it. He's not demanding we agree; he's describing an internal vantage point. The repetition - "as the same person... as I was, as I am now" - is almost deliberately plain, like someone circling a point for emphasis because they're used to the world misunderstanding it. It's also a subtle inoculation against nostalgia: not "the same as I was back then" in a wistful way, but a present-tense claim that the through-line hasn't snapped.
Context matters for an actor: your image is a composite made by casting directors, tabloid headlines, fan expectations, and the afterlife of old roles. Wolf's intent reads as boundary-setting, maybe even self-protection. He is insisting that the career is an addition, not a replacement - that the person exists before the brand, and survives it.
