Suzanne Weyn Quotes

My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.

I've always done everything at my disposal to avoid labeling what I do, or to avoid being labeled myself.

A tattoo doesn't make you look like an individual.

Most people are other people.

People like to come up to me and tell me that I’ve got nice ink. Except these tattoos aren’t just decorations. They are declarations. Every tattoo I have tells its own story about who I am. Drug-free. Honor. And a war against the system.

I'll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who's got it on his back.

It's lame to say that I'm a normal girl, but I think I am.

I got sent to a health camp when I was about 6 years old, and we all had to wear the same starchy blue uniform. The lady who took care of me after school knit me a burgundy sweater. It was the only thing that gave me any individuality.

I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles, and I thought that was pretty cool, so I was quite up front about it.

Because we always have to wear a uniform to compete, my teammates and I look the exact same. My belt is the only accessory that I get to choose. I usually wear a yellow cloth belt with cherries or a leather belt with a beautiful tree buckle that I got at a thrift store.

Call me Ildar! Call me Abra-ca-da-bra! My name is my name.

I have an aversion to being mislabeled. Here's a label I'd accept: I'm an 'individual.' I'm someone who can't follow, and doesn't want to lead.

I think everybody has their own unique style.

I think it's important to have your own individual style and sense of self. It's kind of what I do.

I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.

Fashion in the past meant conforming and losing oneself. Fashion in the present means being individual and finding oneself.

If you try to follow everyone else's mold, you'll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

We all want to be special, to stand out; there's nothing wrong with this. The irony is that every human being is special to start with, because we're unique to start with. But we then go through some sort of boot camp from the age of zero to about 18 where we learn everything we can about how not to be unique.

Yeah, it's nice to look up to people, but the more you try to be somebody else, the less you are of yourself.

I'm not a brand name, I'm a person.

All I've ever wanted is to be normal.

For one thing I tend not to see myself in various moulds that people fit me into.

I really love being a redhead. Even though it's not my natural colour, it makes me feel more like myself.

I have 9 tattoos of my own.
