"It's not about finding a home so much as finding yourself"
About this Quote
As an actor - someone whose job often involves inhabiting other lives, other bodies, other histories - Behr is speaking from a profession steeped in dislocation and reinvention. The subtext: place can be performance. You can look settled while feeling unmoored; you can move cities, relationships, even identities, and still be carrying the same unresolved self. The quote implies a gentle skepticism toward the consumer version of belonging, where a mortgage or a curated apartment stands in for interior clarity.
Culturally, it fits an era of mobility and self-fashioning: careers that relocate, relationships that restart, and an economy that turns "home" into both aspiration and anxiety. Behr's intent isn't to romanticize endless wandering, but to warn against outsourcing meaning to geography. Find yourself first, and home stops being a rescue mission; it becomes, at best, a byproduct.
