You try to be yourself, do only what you've always done and like to do, and right away, you're tagged as an oddball.

When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves - the misfits.

Like so many kids, I just wanted to fit in, and I see now that I spent most of my life trying to be what I wasn't, trying to get people to like me.

I was always an odd girl; I managed to alienate a lot of people. I felt like a square peg in a round hole in the music industry and created a lot of neurosis for myself.

I've learned to be more accepting of myself. I'm 37, not 18, and I've got the lines to prove it. I try to remind myself that a girl can have it all, just not all at once.

When little kids come up to me, I'm a fully-grown adult, and that's always weird to me.

I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.

I feel comfortable in the presence of oddity. Probably because I'm a little bit odd.

Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them confidence they can. You have to give a kid a dream.
