Tony Kaye Quotes

I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal.

I never wanted to write the sort of song that said, 'Look at how abnormal and crazy and out there I am, man!'

I've definitely accepted the fact that I'm not normal.

A lot of people said I was a rebel. I wasn't.

That's a difficult question, because to consider yourself a rebel is sort of ridiculous.

I think giving yourself permission to be weird is amazing. After all what does it mean to be normal?

Now I'm old... maybe I'm still an eccentric hippie. There's a wonderful freedom in the eccentricity - you can go places, you can be wacky, and you don't have to be constrained. I think that's why people are eccentric - eccentricity is a weapon... and it's great!

I think I'm always adopting a persona. That's how I look at pop music. I don't feel like I have to be myself. I feel like I have to be true to myself, but I don't have to show an exact picture of who I am.

I wish I were kind of normal. It would be so much more simple.

All that celebrity stuff isn't me. It's just not acting.

Using the word weird implies that there is a norm.

I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.

Acting like the person I'm supposed to be has always been the easiest thing for me.

I'm not an oddball.

I don't carry off 'quirky.'

Be the weirdest little weird in all Weird Town.
