For me, every show that's about teachers - and there's been a number of them - they're like misfits who hate the kids and don't want to be there and hate their jobs. For me, having crazy parents, my teachers were the sane people who raised me, and they liked being there.

Willie Nelson

Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.

American Musician

Charlotte Caffey

I was fortunate enough to be living in Hollywood, CA, when the underground punk rock music scene started. It was a small group of artists, misfits and weirdos, where everyone was welcomed and encouraged to express themselves.

Roger Rosenblatt

If the sad truth be known, writers, being the misfits we are, probably ought not to belong to families in the first place. We simply are too self-interested, though we may excuse the flaw by calling it 'focused.

American Journalist

Jenna Fischer

I think that there is a tragic misfit at the core of me, and I've just done a lot of work on myself. I love a good self-help book; I've read a ton of them. I love self-help seminars and therapy and all that.

American Actress

Steve Vai

When I was young, I wasn't a misfit or anything. I had friends in all the different social groups. But I had issues - just personal issues, insecurities and other things that had happened in my life.

Travis Knight

The interesting thing about Laika is that it's very much an island of misfit toys. It's unusual people with strange talents and very unusual passions who have somehow found each other.

Tig Notaro

It attracts all types. But I definitely call the comedy world the land of misfit toys. Looking around the room at my friends, that's what I see.

American Comedian

Patti Smith

Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

Alan Rickman

Maverick is a word which appeals to me more than misfit. Maverick is active, misfit is passive.

British Actor

Misfit can have a negative, lonely feeling, often associated with exclusion or non-acceptance.

Emotional Tone

In some contexts, being a misfit can be positive, showing individuality and non-conformity.

Not Always Negative

Don't confuse misfit with misfitted; misfit is about social fitting in, not size or shape.

Common Misuse

'Misfit' as an adjective implies something is noticeably wrong in size or style.

Physical Discrepancy

Misfit items might have the wrong appearance or might not function as intended.

Look or Function

The term is casual, often used in everyday conversation about clothing or objects.

Context Matters

 I was disappointed to learn that there was no room for misfits like me in these institutions. The education system in many parts of the world has been designed around preselected options that young people are expected to fit in or risk becoming misfits.
