I'm afraid that people who know me as I usually am will discover I have another side, a better and finer side. I'm afraid they'll mock me, think I'm ridiculous and sentimental and not take me seriously. I'm used to not being taken seriously, but only the 'light-hearted' Anne is used to it and can put up with it; the 'deeper' Anne is too weak.
We are a very close family, and I love them very much, but I'm definitely the odd one out. I live a completely different kind of life style. I always was different. I felt like a fish out of water; I really never knew who I was.
I do not enjoy when people don't like me.
I'm not bamboozled by the fact that people are disgusted by me. I'm not my biggest fan either.
Oh, I never fit in anywhere. I'm a loner. I don't even have many friends.
There was no time when I lived anywhere longer than two years. I was always a social outcast. Maybe I didn't care what people thought because I was like, 'Well, I probably won't stick around here for too long.'
I was raised by two moms in a town that was diverse and understanding of people. I remember when I got a taste of the whole rest of the world and left my bubble when I got older, I was just so confused by the fact that not everybody else was like that.
I always felt like the 'outsider' kind of kid.
Even from the age of about 6 years old, I was kind of made to feel different by other kids - you know, I was a quite pretty kid, and I got called 'girl' a lot, and 'woman' and all of that. And school is really not a place to be different.
I'm not a terribly popular person in life. I can handle that.
I went to a school where the girls that were found attractive were the complete opposite to me. I judged my worth on how many boyfriends everyone had, and I wanted to jump out of my skin every second of every day.
I was not popular. I was the kid in school that was bullied.
I don't really feel like I belong anywhere.
I've never fit in anywhere in my life. Ever.
In high school, I never felt in with the in-crowd.
I think a lot of my angst comes from feeling unaccepted.
My problem is that I do not get along with lesbians at all. They don't like me, and I don't like them.
I did feel funny about being fair and having red hair and freckles. I did not like that because I grew up in a neighbourhood where no one had red hair. I felt very conspicuous but not in a nice way.
Being an outspoken Christian in the music industry means always feeling out of place. It's like whatever you have accomplished is less credible because of your faith.
The stick-thin thing, I'm kind of just like, 'Not gonna do it' and 'I couldn't.'
I've been an outsider all my life - I don't care.
At some point in our lives there's something about every one of us that makes us feel like an outsider, I believe.
When you feel like an outsider - for whatever reason - you spend a lot of time alone.
I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.
I remembered myself as an unpopular and rather sad kid.
