It’s a little strange when part of your family is in the public eye, and you’re being put into a box that you’re not necessarily in. That’s when it starts to feel a bit odd: When you’re being told who you are, but it’s incorrect.
I’m never what anybody envisions as the prototype of a character. My looks are just odd enough so that I’m just not what people think of.

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.
Sometimes I’m attracted to more odd girls with stronger faces and features or a softer beauty with a lot of character.
That is the problem with comedy in India. Spoofing sells. Come up with original comedy about the hilarious nation we are, with funny accents and odd rituals, and we get into trouble.
I often get ideas for songs on the tour bus at odd times. Like at 6am when no one is around, I’d just write.
Men would find it much harder because men have such odd personal relationships with each other. They don’t really emotionally connect, whereas women do. I think women become very close.

I do think deception… There’s something kind of odd about tricking people for a living, but ultimately, it’s a remarkably honest profession, when you think about it. If you violate that code, and you say you’re not using camera tricks, and then you do, I actually think that’s a kind of serious moral issue.
I do change the odd lightbulb, and I fix the Internet when it goes down, because it’s something I am really good at.
TV shows are built on relationships, and it seemed kind of odd to make a show without any relationships in it.

I’m the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.
It has been hard to get my head around how Justice Antonin Scalia rationalizes his decisions. His body blow to the Voting Rights Act was a head scratcher, but at least he was calm when he attempted to justify his odd logic.
I don’t mind women who want to act. That’s fine. It’s odd that men want to act, in that there’s still a degree of vanity associated with it.
It’s very odd that we have such an easy relationship to violence in this country, and we’re still shocked by the female figure.
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
I’ve had tons of odd jobs, but I think that I would probably be a fireman because you get to see the results of your job. You get there and there is a house on fire. You leave and there’s not a fire anymore.
Of course I have the odd bad game like other players. But I can’t accept that. Especially when things don’t go right for United. It all means so much to me to be succesful here. It drives me crazy at times.
I’m too small and too short. I thought that was odd; that should be a non-issue to me.
The odd thing is if you asked me to do the accent now I would find it very difficult unless I was also playing that part, because I associate it so much with entering into the role and stepping into someone else’s shoes.
I worked odd jobs delivering pizza, folding chairs, telemarketing, selling kitchen cutlery door to door.
Alan Shearer came in at a time when he was one of the only people on this planet who could have kept Newcastle up and he did a fantastic job in everything else but the odd result not going his way.

Who would have thought that a story about a professor of phonetics would result in it being probably one of the great shows ever for musical theatre? It’s a seemingly odd subject.
It’s an odd mix, the life of a playwright.
I was a privileged observer to be there when Celine Dion opened at Caesars Palace and then the second Gulf War started. It was an odd thing to see the impact both events had on Vegas. The place was riding high after Celine, but overnight, once war was declared, it was deserted.
But one of the satisfying things about performing a play is you know for that piece of time exactly what you’re going to be doing. Your life has a physical pattern. There’s something about the odd, repetitious nature of it that I find hugely relaxing. All the problems of life are taken care of for that bit of time.
When I look back over my novels what I find is that when I think I’m finished with a theme, I’m generally not. And usually themes will recur from novel to novel in odd, new guises.
We take people to the threshold of religion. Our aim is to induce immediate experience that is beyond the odd, beyond the strange, and beyond the weird. It verges on the wholly other.
When I look back at my journey, it gives me a sense of confidence. I have been through an odd journey from Delhi to Mumbai, struggling, not having a job, shifting houses… Today, I am giving interviews. So it does give me gratitude and confidence. The fear is gone.
Music ignited a fiery, pent-up passion inside Elvis and inside me. It was an odd, embarrassing, funny, inspiring, and wonderful sensation.
I find it odd that people take me seriously.
I’m not a great joke writer, which is odd for a comic to say, but I’m not.
Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it’s really not bad.

I always liked music that was melodic, but that had something a bit more wonky and odd going on too.
Years ago, when my attempts at a writing career came to a complete stand-still, I applied to the Los Angeles Police Department. This might seem odd for a liberal woman who once went to UC Santa Cruz, but I’ve always had a powerful fascination with crime and serious interest in finding different ways to contend with it.
I moved to New York in 2003, I was a very young 22-year-old, so I just kind of started finding my way as a human and was working odd jobs here and there.
It’s really odd, but whatever we do and whatever style we might tackle, we always sound like us.
When I did the original research for ‘Odd Girl Out,’ I asked every bullied girl I interviewed to tell me what she needed most from her family. The answer truly surprised me. It wasn’t having the best solutions, calling the school, or trying to act like everything was okay. It was empathy.
I guess I’m kind of a sucker for the emotion of music. I guess it’s kind of odd, but it’s the way I appreciate music. I present my stuff that way as well.
The odd thing is, I don’t consider what I do work, because it’s what I love. But it is also an enormous amount of pressure, and you have to work an enormous amount of hours.
It’s an odd feeling, knowing someone is trying to kill you. On the front line, you learn quickly that if you’re in the path of a bullet, you will get hit.
So it was sort of an odd time because I had been hired, but my paperwork hadn’t gone through. So I worked as an intern during the government shutdown, as an intern, but I already had a job.
I tour alone. There’s no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts; I am in a family home and it’s really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it’s a new relationship being built. It’s odd and wonderful.
It’s odd to say we had our first African American president before our first African-American-owned movie studio, but we’re making progress.

I like the odd day relaxing by the pool, but I couldn’t stand to sunbathe for an entire week.
I was never the class clown or put on shows at home. I never thought of acting as something I could do with my life. When I was a kid, I used to run around wrapped in toilet paper so I could be the Mummy. But that wasn’t a sign that I was dreaming of being an actor. I was just an odd child.
Out of nowhere, they made an interim belt and had Lee fight Ferguson. This is very odd for me; what went on there? You know. I don’t know what went on there.
