Not only was I not white, to many people I wasn’t Asian either
I didn't feel like I fitted in. I felt like I was a hindrance to A-ha.
I felt like, 'How do I fit in?' But then I never fit in. The whole time, I've never fit in.
I think I will always feel like an outsider.
In a lot of ways, in high school, I was very much an outsider and never really felt like I fit into any particular clique or group, and so I found myself solo very often.
I've always looked around and pretty much knew that I was built a little different.
I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.
I feel like an alien sometimes, where I don't feel like I belong anywhere.
Always being the outsider, you... feel comfortable everywhere, but you don't really feel at home anywhere. I definitely draw comedy from that.
I always felt like I was a freak when I was growing up and that there was something wrong with me because I couldn't fit in anywhere.
This was never any place I was meant to be. This isn’t a place for me.
I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere.
I feel more at home knowing I'm not really at home. It takes all the pressure off you trying to fit in!
I've always felt on the outside, really.
I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to.
I know what it's like to be young and to feel like you don't belong.
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
I think I just really understand what it is to feel like you don't fit in, within your society, within your world, within your family, within whatever. I've always felt like an odd duck so I really understood that.
[...] I suppose this was the first time I had ever felt an urge not to be. Never an urge to die, far less an urge to put an end to myself - simply an urge not to be. This disgusting, hostile and unlovely world was not made for me, nor I for it. It was alien to me and I to it.
I've always had this feeling wherever I go. Of not feeling fully part of things, not fully accepted, not fully inside of something.
I never quite fit in - at least, from my own perspective, you know.
Growing up, I didn't feel cool; I didn't fit into any crowd.
I always felt like a misfit.
Just having the pain of being alive without anything else, whether it's good or bad. There's a lot of serious songs on the record, you know. That song is just about feeling like a fish out of water, feeling like you don't belong on the planet sometimes.
This is my temporary home It's not where I belong Windows and rooms that I'm passing through This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going I'm not afraid because I know this is my Temporary home
