Italian term or phrase: rappresentare la vostra parte migliore come la peggiore
Comic book writer is introducing his character, talking about he feels that at the age of 14 he suddenly formed into who he is now, and that he feels like he was an idea in a writer's head, who has been formed into the character that he is now. It is this idea mentioned in this first phrase...

" ...Eh, sì, sembrerà strano, ma anche un’idea sente il bisogno di ritagliarsi un posto nel mondo. Dopotutto le nostre ansie e debolezze derivano da voi, sapete? Possiamo rappresentare la vostra parte migliore come la peggiore, dipende. Comunque, per farla breve, in quel periodo a me non restava che tenere duro.

I have put a long string of words down, as it seems like this would need to be translated as an entire idea/phrase.
