A person willing to fly in the face of reason, authority, and common sense must be a person of considerable self-assurance. Since he occurs only rarely, he must seem eccentric (in at least that respect)...

When small towns find they cannot harm the strangest of their members, when eccentrics show resilience, they are eventually embraced and even cherished.

Eccentricity of a creative mind may not be pleasing for the people around it, but it is important for the progress.

I am an artist you know … it is my right to be odd.

Weirdism is definitely the cornerstone of many an artist’s career.
