Brian Ortega Quotes

I think all kids are rebellious. It's a part of growing up.

I think, a lot of times, people don't want to do what their parents do because they want to be their own person.

It's natural to want to rebel against what your parents do.

You always rebel what your parents want you to listen to.

I've always had a problem with authority. That's why I had to be my own boss.

I was playing this character, Melchior Gabor, who was a rebel and who was a person who didn't let the world define him, and who stood up to authority and was this kind of revolutionary...

Even when I was rebelling against my father, the point was to follow my own intuition and instinct.

The minute I was told what to do at any age, I did the opposite. Hopefully I'll do that for the rest of my life.

I refuse to act the way someone expects me to.

I wasn't interested in going to the school dances. I wasn't interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That's what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.

I'm quite contrary. If people agree on something, I tend to gravitate the other way by my nature. I don't like to be told what to do. I think it goes back to school. I like to do things I want to do and I really don't like doing what I don't want to do.

I grew up with my cousins, who were as close as brothers, and frankly, I didn't like what girls were expected to do. I liked horseback riding, playing football, going to rodeos.

I'm bad at doing what I'm told. I'm a born free thinker.
