I think if I'm controversial it's not because I set out to be. It's because I've never felt comfortable being part of someone else's mainstream community.
The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.
I'm not too into the trends - I like to look at trends as suggestions, not as rules.
I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.
The unusual wins out over the usual.
I mean, I'm not a contrarian.
Every adolescent has that dream every century has that dream every revolutionary has that dream, to destroy the family.
I never dress appropriately in terms of comfort, but I wear what I'm feeling. I often to like to feel a little different from everyone else.
When I did pink, I did it so I wouldn't be dressing like everybody else.
I don't feel like I've ever fit into a specific mold ever since I was very young. That's what so cool about YouTube is that you can do whatever you want.
Our notions of self-determination are, on the whole, something of a myth. We are governed almost exclusively by our own peculiar habits, which makes those who rail against them that much more remarkable.
Everything popular is wrong.
You don't have to go out there and fit the mold of what a quarterback is supposed to be. Make your own mold and do the best at each role. If you can run with the best and throw with the best, you can be the best quarterback in your own version of the position.
The average is the borderline that keeps mere men in their place. Those who step over the line are heroes by the very act. Go.
The rules are learnt in order to be broken, but if you don't know them, then something is missing.
I like being unconventional.
There are no exceptions to the rule that everybody likes to be an exception to the rule.
There are certain things that we can deal with by following the rules. But at times, we find the rules restrict you from doing the right things. On such occasions, we have to rethink - either you change the rules or break the rules.
Civilization had too many rules for me, so I did my best to rewrite them.
I've never intended to be controversial, but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.
The idea that a man should be wearing something different and more eccentric is obviously the oldest idea on earth.
I got into the entertainment world and started modelling when I was 15. When I told my parents that was what I was going to do for a living, it was very shocking for them.
I love doing things people don't expect.
It seemed like I woke up one morning and had an epiphany. I thought, 'I cannot do this. I do not want to get married. And I'm not going to law school - it just doesn't excite me. I'm not wasting anybody's money. I'm going to move to New York.'
Absolutely, I don't believe in rules. As I tell my daughter when she is mischievous, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'
