“Who are you when you stop outsourcing your self-definition?”
A provocative question, to answer as a person, and also as an actor. (Who we are and who we are as an actor may have little overlap.)
I did not encounter this question today the way Kelly Rook Daly did, but I’m glad I did.

One of my children coined the description "small famous" back when I was able to be actively activist: famous enough to get stuff done, insufficiently famous to have hordes of gawkers (pro or otherwise) intruding into my family life.
This let me be me instead of a weird facsimile of me. It probably also helped that I did not personally crave 'public' attention: it was entirely about the issues at hand, which only happened to include me in their orbit.
