A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
In our age of individualism, we see computers as ways through which we can express our individuality. But the truth is that the computers are really good at spotting the very opposite.

The music of Bach is so timeless, so fulfilling. You don't feel like you have to be in front of it. The music has everything, and you are there to find the balance when you conduct. You don't have to give too much of your individuality. It's Bach, so it's dangerous to get in the way.
Andris Nelsons

I learned to embrace my individuality, and if that meant writing a song on one chord over and over again, then that's what I do.

I looked at myself, and I just said, 'Well, you know, I can sing, but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world.' So I said, 'Well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.'
'Freaks and Geeks' was a show where our individuality was really celebrated.
Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality.

Individuality is only possible if it unfolds from wholeness.
Individuality is a personal thing. It's based on your own personal feelings and expression of self. So, really, it's nobody's business to judge you but yourself.
