Or more cynically, keep on doing your thing at your core, but do know that people expect to hear stuff like that so consciously sit down and architect some answers to those things. You can reinterpret and rewrite the story later, but you need to have one. Also you don't have to get too attached to it and believe it too much. Think of it as your interface towards society. They cannot all have time to actually latch onto your inner person. You must present to them all the handles you want to be grabbable by.
