"You are the God-being that is here to create life, to breathe soul into your body, to walk this world as your own source of power, love, worth and life"
About this Quote
“God-being” is a deliberately audacious phrase: half affirmation, half provocation. Coming from an actress, it reads less like theology and more like performance direction - a monologue addressed to the self in the wings. The intent is empowerment, but not the thin, bumper-sticker kind. Page frames agency as something you don’t receive (from a lover, a church, an industry, an audience) but something you generate: “here to create,” “breathe soul,” “walk this world.” The verbs do the heavy lifting, turning spirituality into practice.
The subtext is a quiet rejection of the roles women have historically been asked to inhabit: muse, object, accessory, caretaker of other people’s meaning. “To breathe soul into your body” flips the usual script where the body is judged, disciplined, sold, or decorated. Here, the body is a vessel you animate from the inside out. In an entertainment context, that lands with extra bite: Hollywood has long treated women’s bodies as product and their inner life as optional. Page’s line insists the opposite - soul first, then form.
There’s also a cultural fingerprint of late-20th-century New Thought and self-actualization language: divinity as internal, power as self-sourced, worth as non-negotiable. The risk, of course, is solipsism - “my own source” can slide into ignoring systems that constrain people. But the quote’s punch comes from its refusal to beg for permission. It doesn’t ask you to be saved; it dares you to author yourself.
