I’m quite sarcastic, and I’m funny, but not kind of funny. It’s a weird funny, and some people don’t get me, and some people do.

I’m really not that weird. I’m a combination of a lot of different things. Maybe it’s just easier to make me look weird than another model who is specifically Caucasian.
7
Giftedness gives you this amazing tool kit for handling self-discipline and gives you an area of knowledge, but then it also gives you this weird set of aspirations.
8
I always was a weird child. My mother told me the story that, in kindergarten, I would come home and tell her about this weird kid in my class who drew only with black crayons and didn’t speak to other kids. I talked about it so much that my mother brought it up with the teacher, who said, ‘What? That’s your son.’
9
The re-releases have more than doubled the amount of Led Zeppelin work out there. I wanted it done authoritatively, ’cause I was the one writing the stuff; I was the producer and mixer. I don’t think it’s any more weird than writing your autobiography.

My father did lots of things. He had an orange-juice factory. He did real estate. He did commercial selling. He was always up and about doing all sorts of weird and wonderful things and being adventurous. I always admired his self-discipline. He was very good at getting everything done. He was very tidy.

18
My actual intake of different substances was far below what people thought it was, no matter how weird or outrageous they think I am.
19
Often, people think that individual data is the most valuable thing they can collect. But it’s not useful to know what I am doing or where I am, unless you’re particularly interested in me, which is weird. But it is very useful to know what a population of people are doing.
20
21
It’s weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It’s a part of the business that grosses me out. I’m always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they’re also famous, and they can’t live their life.
22
23
24
I think you have to be weird to swim breaststroke.

To pigeonhole a genre as being successful or unsuccessful is weird.
26
I really am not that hairy on my body. It’s weird.

It’s weird because I’ve grown up a lot after filming the first ‘Hunger Games‘ movie. Growing up with a character is really interesting because you feel like you have this connection with the role.
28
I don’t know that I have a fascination with witches per se – well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that’s weird.

I mean, it’s fine when you’re a kid and someone runs into the playground and goes, ‘I’ve got this great game of pretend,’ and you play… As an actor, getting to play, getting to use your imagination and be childish – it is weird but it’s wonderful.
36
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
37
38
39
It’s been strange and weird watching the other girls at the U.S. Olympic trials just because I was training to be out there myself.
40
The way I write is that I’ll actually have a conversation out loud with myself. In a weird way, I just kind of get schizophrenic and play two characters.
41
42
I’m not interested in parts where they are looking for a good-looking guy. I want to be a weird little sidekick in a crazy comedy and then play like a dark drama or a thriller.
43
44
‘The Burning Dark’ needs a certain kind of soundtrack – something dark and moody, electronic, weird. One of my favourite bands is Ladytron, and I think they’d fit the bill quite well.
45
In a weird kind of way, music has afforded me an idealism and perfectionism that I could never attain as me.

52
There’s a lot of crazy, weird people out there. It’s an ugly world.
53
Now I’m president. I get to meet a lot of other company presidents. They’re such weird people. I’m fascinated by them. I use some of them as enemy characters in our games.
54
I grew up a little bit in Germany and then in Switzerland, then in France, the United States and in England, and so it is weird.
55

62
Most of the people I know in comedy are not weird or messed up.
63
64
Those two years at drama school were nutty and weird. I didn’t love it at all – I loved my class; I have so many great friends from that time – but I learned less. I just learned more of what I didn’t like.
65
66
I have never had so much fun as in Montreal. I taught the kids French, I baby-sat, I went to school, I was a receptionist at a hairdresser‘s, I danced and drank all night. I found that the more you do, the more you have time to do… it’s weird, non?
67
I was not a cool kid. There was no reason for me to be marginalised. I was just a nerd. I was kind of weird, and I found solace in video games.
68
In America, they don’t need to look outside their country for anything, so they definitely don’t need to look elsewhere for rappers with weird accents that they have to get accustomed to, which is like homework to them.
69
I’m weird, I do crazy things, it’s not like the average norm.
70
71
72
I’m not obsessed with the idea of doing what you’re supposed to be doing when you’re a rapper. Walking around with cash that you haven’t even provisioned for tax. Spending all of your time in the designer store to create some weird impression. I’m not interested, bro. I just like making music, and that’s it.
73
Death Valley is really wide-open – it’s bigger than Rhode Island – and it’s less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there’s lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on.
74
For every single person who’s struggled with depression, there’s this weird part of your brain that tells you you’re the only person who’s ever felt like that, even if you know for a fact it’s not true.
75
It’s a controlling thing on stage – you’re directing the action, getting people to play their role. In real life, I take being kind and nice seriously, so the last thing I’d ever want to be is that weird, controlling, manipulative character.
76
77
I think to close half of Magic Kingdom for the purpose of a White House invitation town hall meeting on a phony main street on behalf of a phony president just strikes me as weird.
78
79
I kind of live in this weird world where I am exposed to a lot of stuff, but then again I am not exposed to a lot of stuff.
80
Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it’s rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you’re just renting for a while.
81
82
I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of those things have anything to do with who I am.
83
84
85
Initially with The Butcher Boy, there was this kid growing up in this strange, weird environment that I remember from when I was a kid. And Patrick’s vision was so complete there.
86
When I was born, I was effectively dead. Weird, I know. The doctors couldn’t get any reaction from me, so I had to be brought round, and although it seemed like I was okay, there were underlying problems.
87
88
89
Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.
90
There are, I think, four distinct types of weird story: one expressing a mood or feeling, another expressing a pictorial conception, a third expressing a general situation, condition, legend or intellectual conception, and a fourth explaining a definite tableau or specific dramatic situation or climax.
91
You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.
92
It’s just so weird that some people recognize me from TV and then other people say, ‘Get away from me, you drunk!’
93
Ironically I think this is what sparked my interest in and passion for the NOAH, which is capable of creating all these old weird and wonderful sounds.
94
This thing with everyone knowing you, it’s weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don’t really know myself that well.
95
96
At times it’s been weird because for the first phase of my career, I’ve been really well-known for a character that I was so not like and a character I never anticipated doing.
97
I think I look really weird with short hair. So I figured if I’ve got a mustache, I think it looks less creepy with long hair. Like a wild look.
98
99
When I was in first grade, everyone made fun of my name, of course. I think it’s kind of a big name to hold up when you’re nine years old. It seemed goofy. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world and they used to think, ‘This kid’s really weird’.
100
101
102
‘The River Wild’ was great, with Meryl Streep. That guy was really a bad dude who was ultimately sort of fundamentally impotent in a weird way. That was kind of interesting.
103
The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.
104
105
Europe is weird songs that would never make it in America.
106
After having done this whole slew of press for ‘Big Love’, now I’ll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can’t even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on ‘Jersey Shore.’
107
I want to keep Flume kind of experimental, weird, melodic, pretty.
108
109
110
I have a very wonderful separation-divorce. It’s a divorce – but it’s a weird one.
111
I played the mini-tours for a lot of years, and man, you see some weird things out there. There are a lot of desperate people, strange personalities and marginal players, and with that you’re going to see some cheating.
112
It’s so bizarre, I’m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I’m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!
113
I used to wonder what it would be like to see my name on a billboard. I couldn’t even imagine something like that. Then you see it, and, well, it just makes billboards not as special as they used to be. It’s weird.
114
115
116
Well it is certainly the case that the poems – which were in fact published during Shakespeare‘s lifetime – are weird if they began or originated in this form, as I think they did, because the poems get out of control.
117
118
119
While I’m not a celebrity, it’s such a weird concept that society has cooked up for us. Astronauts and teachers are much more amazing than actors.
120
121
With all the weird surroundings of outer space the basic underlying theme of the show is a philosophical approach to man’s relationship to woman. There are both sexes in the crew, in fact, the first officer is a woman.
122
123
It’s going to be really weird when I’m 80 years old, in a walker, and people are still calling me America’s sweetheart. We need a new one.
124
125
126
There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them.
127
It’s a weird thing. Rick Springfield wrote ‘Jessie’s Girl,’ and he probably gets sick of talking about ‘Jessie’s Girl.’ The thing is, I didn’t write ‘Blurred Lines.’ I didn’t direct the music video. I’m really happy for the success, but it is kind of a funny thing to follow me around.
128
129
When little kids come up to me, I’m a fully-grown adult, and that’s always weird to me.
130
131
I think most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don’t, I think that’s weird.
132
133
134
I’m in a position where whatever I do, I can get my head handed to me. I’m in a position to fail because there is a whole group of people out there who want me to fail. It’s a weird vibe.
135
I’m always frightened away by movies that lower the bar on our endeavor to learn more about the crazy weird creatures that we are.
136
My parents were kind of like me in that they had tons and tons of weird, amazing stuff.
137
Most geniuses are weird.
138
139
I grew up in this weird, educationally elite but economically impoverished environment. Total ‘Oprah‘ story.
140
141
As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I’m not going to get any more work; it’s about not having enough money.
142
I only drive in movies. I know that’s very weird to hear for an American. I have a weird relationship with it. I know how to drive, but I never went to take the test.
143
The weird thing is, if I’d made ‘The Incredibles,’ shot-for-shot – exactly the same script, same timing, same shots – in live action, it would be perceived very differently, and somehow more adult than me doing it in animation. I find that fascinating and frustrating.
144
145
When famous people come up to you it’s a bit weird, but it’s an honour, really, when they recognise you and want to chat to you for a bit.
146
I guess I am a rapper. It’s weird to be called that, or tell someone that’s your profession.
147
148
Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you’re not doing it big.
149
It’s not weird to look at yourself in the mirror at the gym – that’s why they’re there! You have to make sure that you’re doing things right.
150
The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live.
151
Songwriting‘s a weird game.
152
I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didn’t spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite… bonding with him, in a weird way.
153
Everybody reads for me. I was never weird about that. I never minded coming in and reading. They should know if I’m the right person, and I should know if I want to do a movie.
154
155
I’m an artist and an engineer, which is, increasingly, a more common kind of hybrid. But I still fall into this weird crack where people don’t seem to understand me.
156
157
It sometimes feels like a strange movie, you know, it’s all so weird that sometimes I wonder if it is really happening.
158
My private life… Nobody should care. I think it’s weird.
159
I know I have sex appeal, but I’ve never felt like an actual sex symbol. Fans sometimes think I am. The majority of them are sweet about it, but occasionally somebody weird becomes totally fixated upon me.
160
I think a lot of my work has been a weird attempt to liberate myself, but it’s not altogether successful.
161
How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.
162
At my very core, I’m pretty shy. I just happen to have a weird job.
163
To confront those fears, in a controlled environment, where there’s 300 people around you going through the same thing, it’s this weird sort of yin and yang.
164
Drag will always find a way to be weird.
165
166
167
168
I’m still very much an atheist, except that I don’t necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that’s a weird thing that I’m struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
169
I don’t know if I can relax. Relax, I can’t do. My brain, on idle, is a bad thing. I just get weird. I mean, not weird. I get, I get antsy.
170
171
Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early ’90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.
172
It’s a weird thing because I’ve been single at the time when I’ve been successful. That’s good and bad. Good, because you meet lots of people, bad because your privacy is infringed, so it’s harder to develop things.
173
New York City is home to so many people from so many places and the uniqueness of it is that you never feel a foreigner. English is almost hardly ever heard in the subway. In fact, it’s weird.
174
Certainly I was a very religious child, a deeply weird and very emotional child, an only child with lots of imaginary friends and a very active imagination. I loved Sunday school and Bible camp and all that. I had my own white Bible with Jesus‘ words printed in red in the text; I even spoke at youth revivals.
175
Every snapshot collector has obsessions. Some only collect photos of cars. Others like World War II, or babies, or old-timey girls in old-timey swimsuits. I happen to collect the weird stuff: photos that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little. The uncanny.
176
You know Hollywood is a weird and wonderful place, I didn’t know I Dream of Jeanie had been cancelled after 5 years until I went back to go on the lot to pick up some clothes and things I had in my dressing room.
177
178
179
180
I’m happier on the runway than I am on the red carpet. Because then I am not being myself. I think, on the red carpet, it’s a weird, like, ‘Who am I? Am I me? Am I them?’
181
182
It just seemed too weird to me. I don’t know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents’ apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.
183
I’ll always be playing shows. Even when I’m a crazy granny wearing weird old granny clothes and wandering around with dementia, I’ll still be playing. Whether anyone else will turn up is another question.
184
185
For a foreigner, L.A. is such a big, wonderful and weird place that, until you find your niche, you feel a little bit discombobulated.
186
I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There’s just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
187
188
189
If you do things out of time you’re weird.
190
I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars – I’ve always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you’re single I want to meet you for a drink.
191
192
193
Sometimes confidence can lead you to accept the first decent idea instead of to really strive to even discard that and go for the ultimate great idea. So in a weird way, I think confidence is overrated sometimes.
194
195
Drag is great way to get people to pay attention to me, but it’s a difficult way to get people to take me seriously as a musician. So it’s a weird Catch-22. It’s like a gimmick that gets them to pay attention, but when they see my image, they’re like, ‘There’s no way this is going to have any legitimacy to it.’
196
I absolutely loved working with Tim Burton because he is just a creative, outside of the box thinker. How he does things is fantastic. It is different – weird different – and he does things that are groundbreaking. They are courageous to do and once you do them you are like, ‘Wow! That really does work!’
197
198
199
Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we’re in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
200
I know for myself, and maybe I’m weird or whatever, but the whole thing is about constantly redefining identity.
201
The most amazing thing is when you find yourself watching someone in the cafe or something doing something weird. It’s amazing what people do, isn’t it, when you just look at them, when you take the time to look.
202
203
Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird. Eventually, they’re going to be the only things separating you from everyone else.
204
205
Eeew, I’d be a little uncomfortable Googling myself. People sit there – and Google themselves? That’s kind of weird.
206
The I&B Ministry, at their own convenience, can’t pick and choose content in serials. We have weird commercials with a lot of objectionable content running on TV post 11 P.M., but nothing has been done to stop them?
207
208
I love hearing about bad behavior. It’s just so funny to me. Especially, grown ups acting like weird, inconsolable babies over really stupid things, to me, is really funny.
209
I have my own demons and dark moods. It’s weird.
210
211
I bring a lot of energy and passion to what I do. Plus, I’ve had some weird feats of superhuman strength!
212
213
214
Even as a kid, I saw the world in my own way and thought most things that were different were beautiful and magical. Even things that other people thought were horrifying and disgusting and weird.
215
I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It’s good time management.
216
I met Matt when he was in Busted. I was working at MTV and I’d see him wearing baggy jeans, waddling around like a duck so they didn’t fall down. He used to wear makeup and have weird hairstyles. But I remember thinking underneath all that was a really cute guy.
217
Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.
218
My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It’s not always about looking pretty or cute. It’s about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that’s being silly or goofy or weird.
219
I had written the script for Juno and apparently Steven Spielberg had read it. I can’t just call him Steven, that’s weird… Mr. Spielberg had read it and he liked it. He asked me if I would write this television show for him and I said, ‘Yeah!’
220
I support Democrats and Republicans. And I’m telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs.
221
222
I write small and weird. Romcoms are not in my skill set.
223
224
225
226
You can pick almost any field, and there’s going to be weird people.
227
I won some genetic lottery. I always happened to be strangely good at mathematics in my head. I just popped out weird.
228
I guess this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I’m not scared for myself for dying. Because I believe all these places are temporary. This is just one shell. Because we Hawaiians live in both worlds.
229
I like playing weird, kind of shady people.
230
Jonathan Lynn is one of the last actors Orsen Welles used in a production. It was wonderful. He’s very sharp, very sharp. It’s funny I’ve been asked how weird it was to have a Brit do a church gospel movie.
231
I exist in agreement with all the weird chaos, destruction, and agony that is undoubtedly part of the texture of being alive.
232
A great amount of good is always evened out by a great amount of bad. I find it’s best to acknowledge that weird balance.
233
The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there’s less pressure to figure all that out.
234
I grew up weird – very sensitive and highly inhibited. I felt like I was born in the wrong time zone to the wrong people at the wrong place.
235
I remember being four or five, not understanding how to be funny, so just going around the house and my mum and dad‘s friends, confusing adults by saying weird things.
236
I grew up on Stephen King, reading the books. I love the small town, 1950s feel to it, that nostalgia, and that old America. What happens when something weird starts happening to all these people, something other-worldly, something demonic?
237
I’d have these weird experiences where I’d just be walking down the street with this chord progression in my head, this happened more than a few times, and I’d walk home and find a fax in my machine and it would match the music in my head.
238
239
I skipped kindergarten because I was reading at a pretty high level. That’s a weird and cocky thing to say, but I was real sharp, and I knew that early on.
240
I’m used to seeing it, but it’s weird having an Academy Award. You usually only see one of them on the TV show when they give them out, so it’s kind of surreal to have one in your house.
241
I always wanted to be a film-maker when I was younger, not an actor. I was an eight-year-old who dreamed of being a writer on ‘The Simpsons,’ which was a weird dream to have. But I started taking acting classes as a way to learn how to direct actors and I sort of fell in love with it.
242
A lot of my friends hate my music. I have weird taste.
243
244
I’m in a weird band. We’ve done very well. The American Dream is alive and well.
245
246
I feel intensely guilty for working… You have to be able to provide for your kids. But I feel like it’s a weird modern phenomenon that you always feel guilty for it.
247
There’s this weird game called ‘Blueberry Garden.’ For that game an artist recorded some piano music, but evidently he only had a really terrible microphone on top of the piano, and I really liked it and wanted to experiment with that. So, I made piano recording and really mangled it, and kept experimenting with the technique.
248
If you are being weird or silly you can be excused because you are just playing a character.
249
250
I know it sounds weird, but how bad, how hard can dying be?
251
Some genres I’m not a huge fan of but there are always exceptions that break the rules. There are always a few people doing it in a way weird enough to grab my attention.
252
253
254
I think any branding for me is band-related. It’s really weird to get used to the exposure, because I am a naturally introverted person, and I’m not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk, but I spend a lot of my days not talking, especially when I’m at home and not on tour.
255
256
257
Why is it so weird that somebody didn’t recognize me?… The fact is that whenever I meet somebody, I say, ‘Nice to meet you. I’m Julia.’
258
When dubstep was big, Ubisoft told the composer for ‘Far Cry 3’ to make dubstep and to me that was really weird.
259
Now I’ve devoted my life to making sure that I can be a trailblazer for any other African American kids or any other gay kids or any other kids that just feel weird or uncomfortable and have their own issues and don’t know how to express themselves. I want to be like a beacon for those kids now.
260
What’s weird is that I work with these directors and then I start channeling them. I kind of turn into them a bit – which is cool when you’re working with Clint Eastwood.
261
262
It’s not so weird that four generations are living together under the same roof and trying to make it work. It’s how a lot of people in this country are living right now.
263
Our talent and skill as rappers is clearly the first thing you notice. I don’t know what we were thinking. We just really love rap and wanted to be rappers. Is that weird?
264
265
I’ve been watching anime for a minute, so I know like real weird deep anime that people probably don’t care about.
266
But I was feeling quite down at the time. I was living in L.A., which was kind of weird for me.
267
268
269
270
It’s nice having your work recognized but having people follow you around is kinda weird.
271
Everything about filmmaking is incredibly weird, and there’s nothing natural about watching yourself on the big screen or hearing your voice. It’s that same thing that you feel when you watch yourself on a video camera and you hate the sound of your voice – it’s that times 800.
272
It is a weird thing, because most people tend to get more conservative as they get older, but I find myself going the opposite way. I am sure that by the end I will be selling Marxist pamphlets on the Holloway Road.
273
I just don’t want to stop finding things interesting. I don’t want to ever stop learning. I want to be a weird encyclopedia of bizarre knowledge.
274
275
276
To do a sequel is so weird, you don’t really think about it.
277
The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it’s still our deepest longing – but it’s now also our deepest fear.
278
To see a doll of yourself is very weird and very neat at the same time.
279
I felt sometimes too responsible as an actor because people promote violence or weird things that I don’t want to be part of.
280
I was always talking in weird voices from the time I was two. I guess I just found a way to keep doing it! I did get a degree in theater and took some voice-over classes… but most of it is just the same stuff I was doing as a kid!
281
When I was a kid, I collected cactuses. I had hundreds of different kinds in my room. I was a weird child. Everyone was playing football, and I was collecting cactuses. I spent all my money on them. I had so many colors and shapes. I even gave them names.
282
I was a very weird amalgam of things as a kid.
283
When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.
284
I always felt a weird obligation to be adventurous.
285
Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.
286
People have always had these weird things about how you have to be really good looking to be a singer.
287
I’m on Radio 2 all the time now. Feels a bit weird but there you go.
288
289
Every weird thing about you is beautiful and makes life interesting.
290
291
I like to mimic accents. I don’t even know if that’s a talent. That’s just a weird thing that I do.
292
I’ve never been a fan of directors who clutter a piece with all sorts of crazy preconceptions or weird ideas.
293
294
There’s something distinct and interesting about a live performance. There’s this weird immediacy that’s, for me, really invigorating, and it just feels really rewarding.
295
I’m a producer… I am a Hollywood producer. That is so weird. And it’s not lame. But it’s just like, how did that happen?
296
I grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood and was raised by a man who did not emote, ever… I always cry at movies, and when I was a kid, I would try to hide it. It wasn’t something a kid in Oaklyn, N.J., did. So I have these weird hang-ups about emotions.
297
298
The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.
299
300
I get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. For me, it suits me. It suits my personality. I’m an emotional kind of person anyway.
301
302
303
304
305
I made some games, but I’m pretending like I didn’t because they all turned out weird.
306
I want to play oddballs. I want to play weirdos. There’s not enough weird. Everything just seems a bit mainstream to me, and I long for anything that’s a bit unusual.
307
My mom decided that she wanted to put the mirror ball trophy on the coffee table in the center of our living room. When people walk in, it’s kind of like, ‘Uh.’ It’s a little weird. Maybe we should put it in the corner or something.
308
He helped make Living Things even more crazy than I wanted it to be. He added old-fashioned piano and classical folk music – that weird otherworldly vibe – all these elements got onto the record.
309
310
311
312
313
I feel like I’m in my own head a lot; it just feels amazing, but scary, weird and confusing.
314
315
316
317
I was that weird eight-year-old who was really interested in Shakespeare and understood it and appreciated the language.
318
The scientists at the end of the 19th century had people coming to them with this weird behaviour, and they didn’t know what was going on but there seemed to be a similarity. They needed an answer, so they made up one.
319
It’s so weird to be alive and to be inside a body.
320
I’ve never paid too much attention to what other people have said or to what other people have tried to make me be. I’ve always just tried to be myself, which is such a weird thing to say.
321
I think that Zappa intentionally made his music weird, but did it with intelligence.
322
I love cleaning, weird but true. It really relaxes me.
323
I’m such a spiritual person and in Sweden it’s a bit taboo to be too open with your spirituality; they always think it’s a bit weird.
324
325
326
327
People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.
328
329
330
331
Celebrity is very weird.
332
I feel like there is this weird thing where celebrity involvement in political campaigns kind of goes together like peanut butter and chocolate. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad.
333
334
When I’m home on a break, I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours, I start getting into this total meditation. It’s a feeling few people experience, and that’s usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can’t force myself. I don’t sit down and say I’ve got to practice.
335
336
When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.
337
I’ve got a song on every album, two songs as a matter of fact on every album without Auto-Tune, and that’s the song that nobody talks about. It’s weird.
338
My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying, ‘Sean, this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.’
339
Britain‘s such a twisted, weird little place.
340
Hollywood’s a very weird place. I think there’s less of everything except for attitude.
341
I’m not a princess anyway so I find that quite weird to be labelled as one.
342
343
344
Art imitates life and, sometimes, life imitates art. It’s a weird combination of elements.
345
There’s a weird cloud around you when you’re recognizable. It was a brief window for me. I think you have to have a pathological need for attention of any type, negative or positive, to thrive in that kind of situation. And I only want compliments.
346
Acting is such a weird job.
347
I just saw a copy of a cover of a magazine that I’m on, and it’s very weird and unusual.
348
349
350
It’s just so weird when an entire nation knows what you are going through.
351
I’m not very materialistic – I don’t have a whole lot of stuff. But I do always like a pair of really weird socks.
352
Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things – to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.
353
354
355
It’s weird, I never wish anything bad upon anybody, except two or three old girlfriends.
356
It was very weird when my classmates were getting hundred-thousand-dollar cars because that was so not my reality.
357
For Ryan’s Daughter I used a total of eight harps, something that was, at least, weird.
358
359
It’s a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.
360
361
I only box. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane. I can’t just go to the gym and run. I’d rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me.
362
Men do weird things when they experience fear. It’s like a fight-or-flight thing.
363
It’s hard to get the downtrodden working-class wifey sometimes because ‘You don’t look like it’. Well, that’s weird because I grew up on a scheme in Paisley. But everyone’s got a viewpoint about what you should look like, and it’s tainted by prejudices and assumptions.
364
365
If an alien with an accounting degree touched down in America, it might conclude that we’re a weird cult that spends 11 months living frugally and four crazy weeks buying tons of stuff we don’t need. It wouldn’t be entirely wrong, either.
366
Being a bass player in a band without a drummer for seven, eight years has been kind of weird.
367
I still dream about ‘New York’ mag. It’s kind of weird. I dream I’m part-time, and they can’t find a full-time job for me. It’s usually that I can’t find a lead, and I call all my great sources and say, ‘Can you help me out?’
368
369
370
371
I talk about weird stuff. What I do only works at night, only on the radio.
372
I wasn’t interested in going to the school dances. I wasn’t interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That’s what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.
373
I’m one of those regular weird people.
374
But since day one, we’ve always been kinda up against it. So at the end, it’s not surprising that we were kind of led along for so many months and didn’t know what the fate of the show was gonna be. It was… in a weird way, just kind of that was the way it’s always been.
375
The characters do have a life of their own; it’s weird.
376
377
378
At first it was exhilarating but when I realized it wasn’t going away, it became scary and claustrophobic. Fame is a weird thing.
379
I’m an avid University of Miami Hurricanes fan. I hope to come to the day where I can still do some stuff for NBC and somehow integrate it with an RV tour of the South for college football. Luckily, my wife, she’s a Florida State alum, so I wouldn’t have to talk her into it. I think our kids would think we’re weird.
380
381
It seems a bit weird to call someone your girlfriend when you have a child.
382
383
384
385
I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don’t like the term ‘exercising.’ I feel like with sport, you’re playing games. But with exercise, you’re literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It’s weird.
386
387
Hawthorne sucks… It’s a crazy place, and I’m happy that I was the weird one that got out.
388
It’s funny – before, I would say I’m not sure I can change a diaper in my life and now it’s, ‘I got this, I’m a mom, I got this, I know what to do.’ It’s weird, you just get into this protective mode.
389
I was this weird little bookish giant.
390
391
It’s always been kind of weird to me because when you give someone an autograph, you’re looking down at a piece of paper and once you sign it the person moves on.
392
393
394
395
Fame is a weird one. You need to distance yourself from it. People see a value in you that you don’t see yourself.
396
I usually write when I’m in a great place. When I’m depressed, I don’t usually write. So I take all of when I’m depressed and throw it into when I’m feeling good. Weird, I guess.
397
398
I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
399
We didn’t have a TV in the living room and all my friends thought we were kind of weird. When they’d come over, my mom wanted to talk to them about current events.
400
401
402
I wanted to do a weird book and reestablish my independent, small-press roots.
403
404
People would look at me weird. You know, like, ‘Why is this guy’s hands always in his pockets?’ But I was embarrassed by the size of my hands.
405
Everyone, it’s okay to say the word ‘bitcoin‘ and acknowledge that it is the actual platform that is driving this innovation that we’re all building on. It’s also okay to say ‘the bitcoin blockchain,’ or ‘the blockchain,’ if you’re afraid that people will think you’re weird.
406
I had a place to go to university; I was going to study history. I was in New York doing ‘Arcadia,’ and I suddenly thought, ‘It feels a bit weird to go from a New York stage to Manchester University.’ It didn’t quite feel right.
407
408
409
I just couldn’t get into the high school scene at all. I was fat, ugly and weird. I just couldn’t do the makeup and the hairdos.
410
My whole background is character acting: weird costumes, fat suits, playing men, playing animals – I’ve never played anyone with whom there’s any overlapping Venn diagram.
411
412
It’s weird that I’ve ended up playing so many real live people, because I was never any good at impersonations at school.
413
Making films is great. You’ve got 100 people around and you’re all dressing up and making weird art-it’s a fun group activity.
414
415
I started acting as an amateur when I was a kid, but I wanted to become a diplomat. It was self-centered and weird, but I had this idea of going out in the world and solving conflicts and making the world a better place. But I kept on acting, and eventually, I just dropped out of school and continued acting.
416
417
418
It’s weird when people come up to me and know stuff about my life. That sort of creeps me out.
419
Now I love LA, but there are a lot of weird aspects to Hollywood.
420
The thing that all sports have in common is that they have no fantasy elements, which is a little weird.
421
You know, it’s weird being interviewed! Because the weird thing about being interviewed is you get asked these questions that you’ve never thought about, and you find out what you think as you answer.
422
It’s weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can’t really get behind what you’re saying or what you want them to say because they didn’t experience it.
423
If you’re different, or if you think something about you is just weird and out of the ordinary, I just think that’s so dope.
424
425
426
427
428
The go-to reflex all over Hollywood is still likeability. I’ve always had a problem with it because I think I have a weird barometer in the sense that some of the characters I’ve cared about the most in movies are characters that are often thought of as despicable.
429
To go from not being recognised at all to literally, the next day, having people stop you in the street was very, very weird. I had to buy myself a great baseball cap.
430
As a little kid, I suppose I was a little weird.
431
I have no illusions concerning the precarious status of my tales and do not expect to become a serious competitor of my favorite weird authors.
432
When I got a lap dance, because I was 17, they had to put a massive pillow between me and the girl when she was grinding me. It was weird, yet pleasurable.
433
Job’s forthright indictment of the injustice of this world is surely right. The ways of the world are weird and much more unpredictable than either scientists or theologians generally make things look.
434
435
You can’t compete with hip-hop. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be as big as a rap star. I do – I’m always competitive. But there’s this weird perception of me as someone who’s sitting around plotting like a devil. It’s not like that.
436
437
438
I am star-struck but also I’ve known a lot of people for a long time. Like I’m super star-struck by Grant Lee Phillips and Jon Brion but I’ve known them for 17 years. So it’s kinda like weird to be star-struck still, but I still am!
439
I get really weird when I’m not working. I have to keep working.
440
441
442
I’m so quirky and weird, so I need a weirdo to hang out with!
443
Why can I do the splits? That’s weird. I’m uncomfortable with myself.
444
To be honest, I think I am making normal games targeted towards normal people. But ultimately when I release those normal games, weird people find them to be weird games and enjoy them. Which probably means there’s something wrong with me.
445
I train all the time and the weird thing is I’m in the gym with people between 20 and 25 years old and I look in the mirror and I look better than they do and they are young kids – either they haven’t trained hard enough or they aren’t serious enough.
446
It’s always weird doing love scenes. And the thing is, you can’t really photograph two people kissing naturally, because then you wouldn’t be able to see anything.
447
A lot of people think I must be weird because of the films I’ve done. I get that.
448
I never fail to find it weird when people recognise me.
449
450
I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn’t weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
451
The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.
452
It’s one thing for the people in the industry to know who you are, because they’ve heard about you earlier. I have friends calling me from the Christian bookstore because there’s a poster on the wall. It’s just weird.
453
There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play… a bar that’s half full.
454
Oh yeah people recognize me, but the craziest thing? I mean I’ve had the normal autographs… but I had to sign a baby’s carriage once. I thought that was weird, so yeah, I guess that’s the craziest thing.
455
I didn’t learn about depression or anxiety at school. So when I had to go to my parents to say ‘I need help, I need to go to therapy,’ I felt like this weird, messed up kid. And I wasn’t, but I felt that way.
456
We do a lot of scenes like say proposing a girl, but you know it is done technically – you don’t feel anything. But sometimes I feel bad, maybe when my parents see me play this character and shouting at a girl, they might feel weird.
457
I’ve always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13.
458
I do not think about formations too often. It is the easiest thing to recognize and to see on the pitch, but when the game starts is when things start to get weird.
459
I have worried about getting pigeon-holed, but now I think I’ve done enough weird, offbeat stuff not to be. And I also know that I do things for the right reasons: I’ve made my money, so I don’t have to say yes to anything.
460
It feels so weird to be able to just kind of buy things when I want them or need them.
461
I think I could drink my own blood. Is that weird?
462
463
I was weird right from the start. It’s just that you can’t ever expect people to get you. And I do think that really did mess with my head, being well-known young, when you really don’t know who you are.
464
Weird people follow you in the streets, you can’t sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.
465
Athletes and actors do really crazy things, and we do them under weird circumstances because we love what we do and because we take things in an extreme manner.
466
I would like to teach music. It’s weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.
467
I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can’t get rid of.
468
469
You’ll always have someone attacking you in some way. But it’s weird from someone who’s never met you.
470
I had a weird dream the other night that I was on ‘Jersey Shore.’
471
There is something really mysterious about lions. They could rip you apart if they wanted to, but at the same time they look so cuddly. Can you imagine what humans look like to animals? They must think we’re so weird.
472
473
Comedy to me is all about the bumps and bruises and weird tics.
474
475
It’s really weird when we’re out of the country, whether we’re in Brazil or Greece or some crazy place like France or Germany. When you hear your song on the radio or in a store, and you’re in a different country, it’s really freaky and surreal.
476
477
Where’s your will to be weird?
478
When you have parents that come from a country that you weren’t raised in, you feel this weird sense of familiarity, like you’ve returned to something.
479
I have six sisters, so I assumed I’d have a girl. Learning I was having a boy was really weird.
480
It’s weird, because usually if you’re British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.
481
482
483
Because our father played professional soccer, being in the spotlight never felt weird to me and my brother. We always felt we could do anything.
484
I will say a lot of dancers do such beautiful things for their body and then they smoke a cigarette. I’ve never been a smoker, but I realized after taking yoga . . . in ballet you’re not encouraged to do a lot of breathing. I think in a weird way, a lot of dancers find relief in actually breathing.
485
I mean, families are weird.
486
When I was young, I really wanted to be a part of the end-of-year awards shows, but now that I’m actually there, it feels weird. I used to go to church and ended the year with a prayer, but now I spend it with people I’m not very familiar with at an award show, and I wonder if it’s something I should be doing.
487
It’s weird because horses kind of come and go in my life.
488
489
Everything will be all right – you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.
490
I think I ‘turn off’ women. I’ve a kind of a weird personality. Women may think that I’m a mess.
491
You can almost judge how screwed up somebody is by the kind of toilet paper they use. Go in any rich house and it’s some weird coloured embossed stuff.
492
It’s a weird sensation to be mad and learning at the same time.
493
I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.
494
495
496
497
498
But doesn’t it seem like Chelsea‘s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?
499
I’m a bit weird.
500
I’m not afraid to have a really weird idea or, you know, take a really bad guitar solo.
501
Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don’t have a lot of it.
502
I have a weird definition of family; it’s not the same as everyone else’s.
503
504
You know, so I was a weird eccentric kid but I did believe in the power of the word and of the word being made flesh I suppose, which again I suppose came from my temperament as well as my upbringing.
505
So I’m more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane, than I am necessarily on a bed. It’s weird being here. It feels like I’m standing next to my real life.
506
507
I’ve had some weird experiences.
508
509
Golf is a weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don’t.
510
511
I used to say that I didn’t want anything to do with e-mail. It seemed really impersonal, complicated and weird. I had no idea what an amazing way it is to reach people.
512
St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don’t see other places – and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There’s a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood, with toasted ravioli, which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis.
513
We’re a rock group. we’re noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.
514
It’s weird, because everywhere I go, people yell, ‘Grasshopper!’ or ‘Bill!’ but down there in Mexico or Colombia or anywhere in South America or most of Europe, people will yell, ‘Serpent’s Egg!’ And I’ll go, ‘Wow, man, these people are really hip.’
515
There’s actually a song called ‘Vegas Lights,’ which I wanted to be an anthem for Vegas, that represented how I felt when I went to the clubs. I felt this weird energy where everybody was having a good time, and it didn’t matter. Dancing like nobody’s watching. It was kind of beautiful.
516
517
It was really weird to have a hit. Of course, we had a certain level of fame in the Pixies, but nothing I had ever done had been mall-kid friendly.
518
I was like, weird on purpose. I wanted to be an outcast.
519
It’s weird. You find a safe place in someone who you feel like maybe they can’t judge you because they don’t know you.
520
521
I’m not a political comic at all, so it would be weird if I just turned into a preachy, sort-of political commentator.
522
523
524
525
We thought everybody read comics. We didn’t know we were weird. We didn’t know people that collected comics were strange. It was as normal as listening to rock music on the radio.
526
I don’t know if I was a funny kid. I would say I was a loud and weird kid.
527
528
The Aztecs believe they started up in what’s now New Mexico, and wandered for 10,000 years before they got down into where they are now, in Mexico City. That’s a weird legend.
529
I guess I worry about weird existential things, like how do we spend our final act. This is a very emotional question. I can’t answer it without crying. I think, You’re 56 years old, what did you do? You raised two good kids. What am I going to do now that is as meaningful as that? I don’t know the answer yet.
530
I’m always like, ‘I can’t believe I sound like my mother.’ I remember running out of the house telling, ‘Put your shoes on or you’re going to get sick!’ That’s an old wives‘ tale, but it’s like some weird mind control that I would be like that.
531
532
Life is a weird thing because it puts roadblocks in front of you, sometimes you gotta go through it, sometimes you gotta go around it, sometimes you gotta take a pause and look back at what you’re gonna do, have a plan.
533
I feel weird when I go to the movies and everybody’s faces are perfect.
534
Is it weird in here, or is it just me?
535
I only play projects with weird interpretations of presidents.
536
It’s weird… people say they’re not like apes. Now how do you explain football then?
537
My mom is from Ghana, and my dad is from the States, so even in my family when I was growing up, my mom said I was the American one, and my dad said I was the weird African one.
538
I’m not one of your knockabout, knuckle-scarred, Internet-controversy-courting book critics. Occasionally I stumble into controversy accidentally, but not because I enjoy it. It’s probably just because I’m a weird person.
539
When I met David Green at film school he always used to offer free haircuts – he was kind of an artisan. In a lot of our films, he’s constantly trying to give me weird looks.
540
God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.
541
I did telemarketing for years, starting at the age of 16, just selling steak knives to old people. Old people go through a weird amount of steak knives. I also sold straight meat over the telephone.
542
I think I’ve done every crazy diet there was in the beginning, but it’s weird: I’m thinner now than I was when I was modeling. I don’t obsess about it.
543
In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city. They’re low-pro now, not retro-worshipped in the manner of Depeche Mode, New Order, or The Cure, but you can hear the reason why – these guys are too sad.
544
545
546
We love playing music but we’re too weird to play music.
547
I keep very weird hours. I never know when I’m going to get an idea.
548
549
I find it kind of weird that directors want to put themselves in their films.
550
It’s weird, I actually like doing interviews now.
551
552
I’m the one who’s dating the craft-service guy instead of the producer. Plus, if a producer is going to date a hot young thing, I’m probably not the first person on their list – the weird, quirky, funny girl.
553
It’s weird to have leisure – to have time off. I’m not used to it.
554
I don’t know if I get recognized necessarily, though I do get looked at a lot – but I don’t know if it’s because of who I am, or if people just think I look weird.
555
It’s so weird to have someone tell you you’re sick when you feel really healthy and good.
556
557
It’s been super weird because you have zoom meetings and then it’s like high school again, I’m stuck at home with my parents and the only time I get out of the house is to workout. Let’s just say it’s not been how I envisioned my pre draft process going.
558
559
I didn’t think I had a weird voice until everyone started saying I did.
560
561
562
563
564
565
It’s really fantastic because families can come to my shows and they all like it. It’s really weird.
566
It was so weird that I would end up directing ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played,’ because, y’know, I’m not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.
567
My dad was this sort of avant-garde guy who did all kinds of weird things. He was a true original and anybody who met him never forgot him.
568
The music is at this weird intersection of dance music and indie music. It’s not quite dancey enough to do a full-blown DJ set, and it wasn’t quite rock enough for a rock band. But I guess it’s what makes us unique – drawing from a lot of different influences.
569
570
What part of people is resistant to an artist doing more than one thing? Is it somehow perceived as greedy? Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things – to write, to play music, to paint, to cook.
571
I have this weird sort of Gemini thing where I can really be empathetic and a loving person. But if you piss me off, I can be one of the meanest, most sadistic people.
572
I would often draw in my sleep. That alone made for twice the work… I couldn’t use the weird stuff I drew while dozing off, so I’d end up having to draw it all over again.
573
The more you embrace the weird crazy things about you, the more you find your tribe.
574
Weird, but sometimes I feel more like my cartoon character than I do Lizzie because she’s a little more edgy and snappy.
575
576
What we’re always looking for is weird social issues and weird connections to make. Luckily for them, there’s no shortage of material.
577
A weird thing about Gossip that I’ve always said: ‘If I weren’t in this band, I would never listen to it.’ But I would go see it. It’s a band you would go see that you don’t necessarily listen to. We’ve always wanted to do a live album because personally, I think we’re a way better band live than on record.
578
579
Nothing is more bothersome to me than retiring. Weird things happen when you disengage; first you get negative, then you start telling people about your latest surgeries, and eventually you lose touch. I want to stay in touch.
580
581
I loved Adam Sandler’s early stuff. I thought it was so cool how irreverent and weird he would get.
582
A lot of people, quite frankly, think intense attachments to animals are weird and suspect, the domain of people who can’t quite handle attachments to humans.
583
In a weird way, I like to find the quirkiness in ordinary things. I like to find what is ordinary in quirky people.
584
I’m strange! I have a weird sense of humor! I look crazy!
585
The thing about being famous is, it’s weird. The only people who get how weird it is are other famous people.
