Lemmy Quotes

No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.

When I did 'Slacker,' I didn't own cowboy hats or boots. I was like, 'That's not me.'

I don't take myself seriously any more. Sometimes I just garden in my knickers and platform shoes.

I don't care what other people think. I hate conforming, that you have to wear this to a business meeting or that to a dinner. I've never worked that way.

I was kind of a tomboy. I was the girl in middle school with the floods on - I wasn't fashionable at all.

There’s nothing wrong with not looking like something. It just means you don’t fit the stereotype yet.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

I have very long, wild hair, a suntan and wear knee high boots and ignore all the rules about what you should or shouldn't wear at whatever age.

I know that many people kill off their real personality just to fit into this society, but why do we have to compromise? I never understood that. I decided to try to be myself and to live by my own values rather than those of others.

I don't think I dress eccentrically. I'm just not conservative, I guess - I dress according to what like. And I'm not a mannequin, as you can tell.

I just didn't believe I was like everybody else. I thought I was unique.

I feel like when I try to fit in, it comes across as not genuine, and that is not good. I'd rather just do me and have people say, 'Oh. That's interesting,' than try to fit in.

I always had that sense of being censored for the things that I thought. Why is it wrong to embroider your pants, or paint with acrylics on your clothing? Why is that weird? Isn't it weirder to want to be like everyone else?

I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, and kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different. But instead of breaking down and conforming, I stood firm. That is also probably why I was unhappy.

I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.

I do not want to work to correspond to an image.

I find the whole concept of being 'sexy' embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there's the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that's not me.

If I probably didn't have tattoos, or if I probably didn't bleach my hair, or if I probably didn't wear blue jeans and a T-shirt to fancy things, if I didn't do things that make me look like someone who's whacked out of their mind, it'd probably be different. But then again, that's how I wanna dress.

Whether people think I'm old fashioned, I don't care. I've always been very comfortable in my own skin. I've never been a brandist, I don't use words like philosophy, that sort of stuff isn't for me.

You don't have to make yourself look like people expect you to look.

I wear pink whether the public sees it or not. Whether I had a sneaker or not, I'd still be wearing pink.

I've always in some way tried to rebel against the norm, but there's always been a voice deep inside that pressures me to look my best, not leave the house without makeup, etc.

I'm actually quite proud of the fact that we made a success of ourselves in a donkey jacket and DMs, without any thought to sexualising what we were doing.

Everyone has a different appearance, so blindly imitating fashion trends does not make you look better.

I like to dress the way I like to dress. I kind of like rebelling against the social norms... I feel uncomfortable wearing just, like, regular stuff.
