A Quote by Charles de Lint

I've always been interested in the outsider. — © Charles de Lint
I've always been interested in the outsider.
I've always been interested in writing from the perspective of an outsider.
I’ve always been a sort of self-imposed outsider, not a geeky outsider or a snobby outsider but, I just have a natural desire to live on the fringe. I’m not like a weirdo with a trench-coat but I just prefer to be alone or minimally surrounded by people.
I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.
I've never thought of myself as an outsider but the more I'm around people, it appears to be that I'm an outsider. When they look at you and go, "What planet did you drop in from?" I don't know, but it's always been like that.
What I was interested in is the lens organizing my sovereign space. I avoid the term outsider and also exile for the same reason. Outsider implies a kind of nobility.
I've always been interested in the news, but I've always been interested in what's popular. I've always had a little bit of a populist take on things. Which I know is interesting when you talk about Donald Trump.
I don't know really. I've always been interested in the small picture instead of the big one, and I've always been interested in relationship pictures.
I've always been an outsider. I've always been attracted to roles that would challenge me and that wouldn't come around very often.
Comedy is a reaction to the world, and I think it really helps to be an outsider. I've always been very interested in people's behavior, to the point of being obsessed - seeing what people needed and reading them, I think that's the backbone of comedy.
I've just always been a fan of really fringy, outsider things, and I've always been a balloon in the wind, in terms of where that takes me.
I've always felt like an outsider across the board, since day one. The challenge has been to simply not pay attention to my outsider or insider status and just do the work and play the shows and connect with the people. And not even bother to play this game of keeping score, which is what destroys you.
I was always an outsider, proud of being an outsider. I always reveled in the outsiders.
Alan Turing, to me, always felt like an outsider's outsider.
I think being an outsider in general always helps you in comedy. I think it helps to have an outsider's eye. And so I have an outsider's voice. You know, as soon as I start talking, I don't belong here. And I think that helps in a way.
No matter what you eventually become - free, empowered - the lingering feeling of 'once an outsider, always an outsider' is very vivid for me.
I've always straddled a weird line - there's a lot of mainstream stuff that I love. At the same, I still feel like an outsider. I'm the outsider who's on the inside.
