I've never been interested in diarising my life through song. So much stuff has been done before. So many people have brilliantly articulated the pain of heartbreak or the joy of love or whatever. Those elements exist in our music, but I guess I strive to write about unconventional things instead.

Dan Smith

My mom always knew I was going to be an actor because I was a ham from the very beginning, so she would push me toward it, which is really unconventional for Indian families to do.

Aarti Mann

I'm unconventional and eccentric and talk things out, and it seemed that the person I married - maybe in reaction - got quieter and more conventional over time. It felt as if we were putting each other in a straitjacket.

Alexandra Fuller

My dad was obviously a really quirky, unconventional Asian man who didn't care about what other people thought. When he would fight with my mom, he would be really dramatic. He would be like, 'Devil, get away, for I am God's property.' He would say crazy things that were so melodramatic but so theatrical and funny.

Ali Wong

My dad was a very unconventional Asian American man. He was very much not quiet, not shy, not passive. If he had to fart, he'd do it in the library. He did not care. He was like, 'I don't know these people. I'm uncomfortable, and I need to let it go.'

Ali Wong

It's important to be unconventional.

Ananya Birla

My sister and I - she's a musician - we jam all the time. We always play around for giggles with stuff that seem unconventional or stuff that seems funny. A lot of the stuff sometimes is just a response from jam sessions in her room, so she'll be on the guitar or the keyboard, and we'll just start singing and doing stuff.

Andra Day

Human progress has always been driven by a sense of adventure and unconventional thinking.

Andre Geim

The Internet is a great place to find unconventional comedy that you can't find anywhere else.

Andy Dick

But it is not conscious strategy to go for unconventional roles.

Anil Kapoor

Not exactly but I get inspiration from stories which are unconventional.

Anil Kapoor

I think it's helped me to have two unconventional parents, who have always encouraged me to be myself.

Anoushka Shankar

If we're going to have an unconventional budget, we probably need an unconventional process to get there.

Anthony Foxx

Writers are a superstitious cowardly lot, and we loathe learning new computer applications to do something that, let's be honest, we could accomplish equally well with pen and paper - especially when that application is as unconventional as Scrivener.

Antony Johnston

Rob loves my mum, I think the most in the whole world. They are two peas in a pod and I'm the one on the outside. It makes me even more in love with my husband and with my mum, because she can be bonkers and unconventional and it can be embraced.

Ayda Field

All I am looking for is a fine combination of critical and commercial acclaim. Whether conventional or unconventional - does not matter.

Ayushmann Khurrana

People claim to be progressive by celebrating curvy bodies - but the standards for those hourglass shapes are equally rigid. They mask that with body positivity - but what about unconventionally attractive bodies?

Barbie Ferreira

I'm unconventionally romantic.

Ben Feldman

After 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha,' I didn't know which way my life will head because my debut was with a very unconventional role.

Bhumi Pednekar

We shouldn't have politicians micromanaging this war because it is complex and unconventional.

Bill Shuster

Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.
