I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect – they are much more interesting.
I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on.
People always had something to say about the fact I was odd looking, bigger than other people, that I was awkward. When I discovered punk, I bought into it. That look, combined with being fat, made me even less of what people thought a young woman should be.
The notion that female initiative is useless because men know what they want is particularly odd – most people don’t even know what they want for dinner.
Doesn’t it seem odd that your cellphone can be set up to require a PIN or a fingerprint, but there’s no such option for a gun?
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn’t lend itself to histrionics. You ‘take in’ a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
We wanted the humor to come from the characters and their world – you go down there to escape the world up here for a while. So when the crew would write jokes that would refer to American TV or culture, I’d just eliminate them because it just seemed odd that SpongeBob would know about it.
My family is very feminist, and they consider that Islam is not a super feminist religion, which I know people can argue about. But that’s – anyway that’s how I was brought up, so it would be odd for me to suddenly just up and start wearing a headscarf.
It’s funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes.
I have many good friends, but I tend to keep to myself anyway. It’s odd, doing things and having no one to share them with.
Somebody said ‘I’ve got a task here, can you give it to my girlfriend?’ And in the task it said ‘Marry me’. It was really emotional and really odd, but that sort of thing’s happened a few times, weirdly.
‘Spring One’ probably has only four bars of Vivaldi in it, but it feels like it’s all Vivaldi. It’s odd. It’s a bit like walking around a sculpture, you just sort of see it from a different angle.
Growing up, I was on film sets occasionally, when my dad was acting, so I got to run around and do odd jobs on films like ‘Labyrinth’ and others… I seemed destined to make films.
I know that I’m often perceived as this odd guy who’s a bit out there, and I’ve probably, once in a while, reinforced that image, but I’m really not that person, and, in a way, I want even less so to be seen like that.
It’s odd, that’s why I don’t like telling people I played field hockey. It’s real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, ‘Oh, you girl!’
I was an unusually big kid for my age and did not know how to express myself after being targeted as the odd one out. I thus landed myself in trouble for reacting aggressively. But with time, I succeeded as an athlete and people started respecting me.
At cricket, I was mainly a bowler and tried to bat. I hit the odd four or six and then got out! In athletics, I was mainly triple jump and 200m.
Over last 30 odd years, Kashmir has seen many highs and lows when looked at from the perspective of the security scenario, infiltrations and militancy on the ground.
With ‘Puddle Cruiser,’ the first 15 minutes are the weakest. When you’re total unknowns and you have a weak opening, it’s a real problem. At some screenings, we’d see the odd walkout before the movie even got going. But to counteract that, we’d do sketches before the show to introduce the film.
I live an odd existence. I dip into bizarre, very expensive worlds, and then I’m back with a bang to reality, and I put the bins out.
I didn’t really do any acting until I was about 28. I just did odd jobs.
You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that’s happened to me can apply.
I’m just kind of odd. There are dark forces in the world, and if you pay attention to what’s going on around you, you end up incorporating it into the storytelling. Maybe it’s some aspect of myself that’s coming through that people are seeing, that I am in fact a quiet psycho.
Odd, interesting names are good to me.
I’ve always said that ‘Dharma and Greg’ is ‘Romeo and Juliet’ meets ‘The Odd Couple.’
I don’t know anybody that is like super close friends but also competing for the same medal. That would be kinda odd.
ReadyMade’s first three issues dished out instructions for all sorts of kitschy crafts and odd projects: homemade wallets, Adirondack chairs, even taxidermy.
I tend to have an odd split in my mind: I tend to look at it as a writer and when the writing thing is OK and I’m happy with it, then I put on my actor’s hat.
All I want to know is that I can keep this house for the rest of my days and I want to make good music… and have the odd sports car in the garage, obviously!
I had saved a lot of money working at Mrs. Fields’ Chocolate Chip Cookies, ushering at the Golden Gate Theatre, and doing odd jobs so I could live in New York for a few months. If it ran out, I would have to give up and go home. It turned out OK. I got my Equity card and started working.
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the ‘Lion King’ soundtrack. It’s really odd, but it’s true.
It is a pretty odd profession – tickling people – but it can be lucrative.
I get described as ‘interesting’ a lot. People often call me odd, too. Maybe they mean ugly. Given the services of a plastic surgeon, I would get a pair of cheekbones.
I could never understand, when I watch romantic comedies, the notion that for some reason, unattractive or heavy people don’t fall in love. If they do, it’s in some odd, kooky, roundabout way – and it’s not. It’s exactly the same.
Filming scenes like that are always odd but I feel comfortable with Josh and care about him a great deal, so it could be much worse. Scenes like that are just part of the job.
My childhood memories are filled with hugs and kisses from both my mum and dad. My mum has a thing about kissing you an odd number of times: if she kisses you once, all good, but if she kisses you twice, then you know another one has to follow and, weirdly, she tends to go for the forehead.
I went through this phase where I thought pink and purple matched. To dance class, I’d wear purple tights and pink leg warmers and paint my shoes purple. It was really odd.
I grew up going to school and high school and then shooting a movie for a few months. It’s an odd way to grow up and is kind of forced maturity.
I’m quite an odd little part of the Venn diagram. I’m not a movie star and beautiful in that way. I do an odd thing that’s funny and sad, and my face and my old body can take that.
The British have such an odd relationship with food – and the land. I want the public and the Soil Association to see that growing things in a garden is no different to growing things in a field.
My life has really been about writing, though some think it’s all about once having been in a ball dress and having an odd life and marrying all the time. But it’s the writing that’s always been the point.
Everyone today is like, ‘Shailene, you’re getting so much buzz. How does the feel?’ It’s the most odd question because it’s like asking a kid who got into Cornell how it feels to be the top of your class at one of the Ivy League schools. How do you answer that? You just go, ‘I don’t know.’
It’s odd, because I used to see pictures, on telly or wherever, of what I now know to be Shaftesbury Avenue and I used to wonder what that amazing street with all the lights was. Well, now I know. I think when you get a wee taste of something, it maybe isn’t what you thought it was.
I always found the appeal to the market gods a bit odd. Why would the market fix mistakes instead of aggravating them?
Everyone is living for everyone else now. They’re doing stuff so they can tell other people about it. I don’t get all that social media stuff, I’ve always got other things I want to do – odd jobs around the house. No one wants to hear about that.
It’s odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.
Women always try to see the one good part of The Weird Guy because the dating landscape is so bleak. Women will say, ‘He’s very odd, but he likes to cook. He’s creepy, but he makes good pancakes!’
I went through phases of odd hairstyles and tank top-over-tee outfits and stuff like that.
I love movies that are saying things that people might find odd at times. I don’t find them odd at all. They give me comfort.
But for a few phrases from his letters and an odd line or two of his verse, the poet walks gagged through his own biography.
There are so many odd things that happened that are centered around Britney Spears it’s kind of amazing. There’s just so many cultural moments centered around her existence and nothing else.
It’s odd because some actors are very scared of comedians.
I hear odd tracks from my albums every now and again on the radio, or maybe a friend plays me something.
Most people prepare for travels by reading about their destination; it always seemed an odd approach to me. I find it much easier and more pleasant to focus with the sights and smells of a place rattling around in my mind.
