In March 2003 , Razor Magazine made a list of "nonconformists that defy dictates, the iconoclasts that cling to independent thought, the radicals that refuse adherence, that give us pause. They are what legends are made of." Along with Sam Shepard, Baz Luhrmann, Richard Branson, John Irving and Bill Clinton, Razor Magazine named Haggis one of its "25 Mavericks of our time."
