10 QUOTES WITH «OUTSIDER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word outsider.
1
Riz Ahmed
I like the idea of being caught between things, always being a bit of an outsider, having an outside eye on things - almost like a Shakespearean fool.
2
Riz Ahmed
In terms of negotiating a career - I've always grown up being an insider and an outsider to different worlds, across different classes and cultures, so I have always naturally liked making films or music that puts things in unexpected places.
3
Scott Anderson
The peculiarities of my childhood, of constantly moving through so many different cultures, of always being the outsider, may have made me extraordinarily self-sufficient, but it had also bred a certain detachment, a sense that the world was a place to explore rather than truly inhabit. This manifested as a kind of shyness, even timidity.
4
Wes Anderson
The subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.
5
Shawn Ashmore
As a teenager at high school, I felt like an outsider.
6
Lance Bass
At some point in our lives there's something about every one of us that makes us feel like an outsider, I believe.
7
Joaquin Castro
Doing your job requires different modes, and you can't just be stuck in one mode where you're always the shrill outsider screaming at everybody.
8
Nick Cave
I don't have any authority to talk about the domestic policies of America. But as an outsider, I am mystified by the fact that you are encouraged to buy a gun, but if you use it for the purpose that it is expressly designed for, you get the death penalty. That aspect of America is kind of mystifying.
9
Jimmy Connors
I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.
10
Chris Crutcher
Being an outsider means not being heard, not having a voice. It means being treated as a second-class citizen, being diminished in the eyes of others. We have all felt this way at one time or another, but some feel it more consistently. Unfortunately, our schools often do not embrace the talents of many of their occupants.
