When you feel like an outsider - for whatever reason - you spend a lot of time alone.
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 think there's no question that everything possible is being done to stop Donald Trump and you're seeing a case study in how hard it is to be outsider and the double standard of the national media, particularly if you're a conservative outsider.
The student of media soon comes to expect the New Media of any period whatever to be classed as 'pseudo' by those who acquired the patterns of earlier media, whatever they may happen to be.
The first song I wrote was called 'Baby Darling Darling Girl,' and you know what's funny? It went, 'Baby darling darling girl, I really love your Jheri Curl.' I thought it was tight as hell.
As to describing me as an outsider throughout, and an outsider through and through - I have no reason to disagree.
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not "fit in" with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
For whatever reason, the mainstream media, for the most part, affixes itself to progressive or liberal propaganda.
I'm not a media darling. I'm not on the cover of all these magazines. I just quietly do my thing.
[On Bonnie Prince Charlie:] Oh, Charlie is my darling, / My darling, my darling; / Oh, Charlie is my darling, / The young Chevalier.
The media's trying to attack my administration because they know we are following through on pledges that we made and they're not happy about it for whatever reason.
It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling.
I learned a lesson I couldn't get from Harvard. I'm not no media darling. I'm not the golden boy; not that I ever was.
The Democrats, because they are the media, still establish the narrative for Washington every day. And whatever that narrative is, the Republicans - for some reason (I think it's force of habit and years and years of conditioning) - still become subservient to whatever that narrative is.
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.
The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
