Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your habits. Your habits become your personality.
Think angry thoughts, and you will be an angry person. Think sad thoughts, and you will be sad person. Now, granted, some people can't help being angry or sad due to mental illness or some sort of event that happened.
So, it is your thoughts and experiences that make you who you are. Genetics play a role, but it is mostly what happens to you and how you react to it.

That's the quote I was thinking of.
