I think it's important to have had at least a few years of obscurity, where people treat you like everybody else.

Artists are like everybody else.

Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two.

I was raised by my grandmother on a farm, where we were really poor - we had dirt floors - but so did everybody else.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.

You know, you don't have to look like everybody else to be acceptable and to feel acceptable.
