Frank ZappaI never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
About This Quote
A person’s weirdness is what they make it. Usually, people are called weird for something they do, not because of who they are. For example, if a girl put her bra on backward, people would call her weird or stupid. However, if that same girl was born with an extra chromosome in her DNA, she would be classified as “weird” because of that fact.
The same goes for people. They are called weird only because the things they do are different than the things most people do.
