NON-CONFORMITY

  
Pee Wee’s Playhouse was really about celebrating diversity and saying it’s O.K. to be different in any way that you’re different, period. In seventh grade, I remember meeting these art kids who were, like, “Hey, you got a minute? Sit down! Have you ever heard of nonconformity? Listen, this is what it is!” And, meanwhile, I’m, like, “You’re kidding. You mean there are people who want to be different?”
