“Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from”
— Jodie Foster

Simplified Meaning:
Trying to fit in with what everyone else considers "normal" isn't the best goal. Instead, you should try to be different and unique. Think of it like this: if everyone only tried to fit in, we wouldn't have any interesting new ideas, inventions, or art. For example, famous inventors like Thomas Edison or artists like Picasso didn't become famous because they were normal and did what everyone else was doing. They stood out and did things their own way, creating things nobody had seen before. So, rather than aiming to be like everyone else, it's better to embrace what makes you special and different.
