If you're deluded, you live in a place where there isn't everyone else's reality.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

Our essential differences from the norm are both huge and deeply offensive to those among us who wish to be quietly integrated into society without particular reference to our nature.

I think a lot of things that are the norm, that are very systematic, don't work.

I think I just really understand what it is to feel like you don't fit in, within your society, within your world, within your family, within whatever. I've always felt like an odd duck so I really understood that.

I'm weird, I do crazy things, it's not like the average norm.

I just get really bored with sticking to the norm and having the proper conservative image. That's just so not me.

I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be around a certain sort of people. I've always wanted to stay true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that.

Something becomes personal when it deviates from the norm.

You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
