I've been fighting my whole career to show a different side and prove naysayers - not prove them wrong, because I don't think you should get your energy from negative people.

Ice Cube

I just want to do as many different genres as I can. I think that's part of it... to not get pigeon-holed because if one of them breaks out and becomes a big hit then typically people want to keep putting you in that kind of role.

Patrick Wilson

I see the hate, what some people say, but I just prove them wrong at the end of the day because I show everyone what I can do. Some people don't want me to succeed but you just have to take it on the chin.

Jadon Sancho

I'm a real gangster rapper and I'm a rapper. I just think my music takes different directions. I don't think you can pigeon hole me in one genre. I'm probably the most versatile in the game, period.

Freddie Gibbs

I didn't want to go out there and prove to everyone or try to prove people wrong or what I can do. I just wanted to play my best, and, if I'm gassing at the end of the game, then that means I did a good job.

Deandre Ayton

I don't want to prove the Raiders wrong. I just want to prove the Cowboys right. They traded for me, and I'm going to be a good player for them.

Amari Cooper

It's very important, when everyone else seems to be pigeon-holing you, to try and pigeon-hole yourself.

I think when people say stuff about you, you want to prove them wrong.

We're always quick to pigeon-hole players and say 'he's a targetman' or a 'spin-in behind man.' But I think I can bring different aspects of the game and heading is one of my strengths.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin

If people choose to judge how you look, that's their situation. I didn't feel that it was a problem. I've played all kinds of parts. I've played glamorous, and unglamorous, and all kinds of people. People want to pigeon hole you, I think.

Jacqueline Bisset

I would never pigeon hole myself stylistically because I just don't know what I am going to want to do next.

KT Tunstall

I have had this desire my whole life to prove people wrong, to show them I could do things they didn't think I could do.

David Paterson

Rey Mysterio

My publishing deal is out of Nashville, my management is split between Nashville and Texas, but we are also getting to play eight other states as well as Canada and Europe this year. I don't want to pigeon-hole myself. When people ask me if I'm Texas or Nashville, I tell them I am just Cody Johnson.

Cody Johnson

You know what I think the guy who reviewed the live show for Pitchfork suffers from? Shy/asshole confusion. I'm not an asshole. I don't think I have to prove that to anyone, but I'm just putting that out there. I just think people should know that I'm not trying too hard. I think some people are just bitter that they ended up reviewing the show rather than playing the show, perhaps.

Nicholas Thorburn

If you can't pigeon-hole yourself, who can you pigeon-hole?
