Well I very much dislike the song 'Hollywood' by Marina & the Diamonds but I love this quote. I guess her attitude is good, it's just too bad her music sounds like boring pop.

"I’ve felt both rich and poor, very ugly and very beautiful, and I’ve conformed and been an outsider, as well. I suppose the song’s a way of saying, ‘I’m not this. I’m not gonna be a dumbo who doesn’t know what the hell is going on.’ I think, without getting into conspiracy theories, that most people don’t realize that they’re being bombarded everyday with who they should be, and you are, especially in America and the U.K. And that’s what Hollywood is about—it’s about breaking free of that and being your true self, which is who you’d be if you were living in a cave 2,000 years ago. I always think, ‘What would you do if you were in a cave, Marina?’ So that’s my basis for everything. I just wanna be myself."
