A Quote by Peter Doig

When I was growing up, I never felt that I belonged anywhere because we never lived in a house for more than three months. That's all I knew, and that's why I don't really belong anywhere.

Growing up, I never really felt like anything was my own. I moved a lot, and I never belonged anywhere.

Mitski

I never expected to run into a room and suddenly I belonged. I figured people who live on the fringes of society, they're more free. They can choose to visit anywhere; they don't belong to anywhere. It's like being without a nation, in a way.

Mark Bradford

More than any other place, New York is where I felt I belonged. I prefer the Lower East Side to any place on the planet. I can be who I am there, and I couldn't do that anywhere I lived as a child. I never fit in when I lived in California, even though that's where my roots are.

Jeff Buckley

Acting became my best friend. When I auditioned to get into college, the teacher said you belong here, Mr. Klugman, and to hear that word belong - I never belonged anywhere before - and suddenly I belonged in acting and it was so comfortable and I loved it.

Jack Klugman

I literally have never lived anywhere longer than two years in my life. I never just stuck anywhere.

JaVale McGee

I stopped feeling like I didn't belong anywhere, and realized that I actually belonged anywhere I wanted to be.

Sophia Amoruso

I would never be part of anything. I would never really belong anywhere, and I knew it, and all my life would be the same, trying to belong, and failing. Always something would go wrong. I am a stranger and I always will be, and after all I didn’t really care.

Jean Rhys

I never belonged anywhere. I just felt like a creature from another planet.

Siobhan Fahey

I just never felt like I belonged anywhere. I always had a stick with a little knapsack attached.

Michelle Rodriguez

Growing up, I never thought that I would fall into any category. I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere.

Liz Carmouche

"Native" always means people who belong someplace else, because they had once belonged somewhere. That shows that the white race does not really think they belong anywhere, because they think of everybody else as native.

Gertrude Stein

I felt like it was the space that I could be the most authentic of anywhere because of how I grew up. Even though some of the songs and some of the texture wasn't what I like, I felt like country music was more authentic, in general, than anywhere else.

Bobby Bones

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

Jessica Lange

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.

Clemence Poesy

I found a way into the acting business because I thought, well, it beats working for a living, and so that's what I do. But I still feel like a bit of a stranger in it all. I've never really belonged anywhere.

Anthony Hopkins

I can't tell you how much I love Target and Costco, that kind of culture, because it's something I never felt a part of. I've always felt like a tourist because I have never fit in anywhere.

Augusten Burroughs
