On the Internet, people on the tails of the bell curve can find one another.
I always liked strange characters.
Hollywood is a peculiar beast - people in Hollywood are nuts.
I love to interview outrageous people who speak their minds; also, people who have some kind of mystery attached to them.
I love interesting people with eccentric stories and outsiders of the world.
When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves - the misfits.
My tolerance for crazy people is, I think, high a tolerance as you're ever going to find. I love being around David Allen Coe. I would have loved to hang out with Tiny Tim. I can listen to Sun Ra on a tape-recording rant.
Hello, freaky peoples!
I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.
It was there that, through a mutual friend, I met John Waters - proving what I've always said: you meet the best people on field trips.
Any abhorrent behavior is more interesting to me. I'm always amazed when somebody asks me, 'Why don't you write something about nice people?' Because nice people are boring, that's why.
I certainly play people on the edge quite a lot. I am interested in what makes people odd and what makes them different. In life I try to play the edges. I have a horror of the herd. There are many, many different sorts of people. A lot of people are fairly uninteresting. I want to play the interesting ones. The villains are always more interesting to portray. Shakespeare knew that.
It's not very interesting to establish sympathy for people who, on the surface, are instantly sympathetic. I guess I'm always attracted to people who, if their lives were headlines in a newspaper, you might not be very sympathetic about them.
Nature hath framed strange fellows in her time.
I think the world is a place for oddballs and freaks. I'm only interested in oddballs and freaks as characters.
My life as an author has always been about brilliant, odd people.
I like playing weird, kind of shady people.
I enjoy doing complicated or peculiar people.
People - just weird people are attracted to Miami. And they come there not for serious reasons, usually.
I was very introverted. I had glasses and was kind of weird. A lot of actors are pretty weird people.
The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained by the laws of logic or science. Dennis Rodman is only one example.
I tend to write about people on the edge who are pushing things out from the edge but who are not necessarily big-ticket items.
The interesting thing about Laika is that it's very much an island of misfit toys. It's unusual people with strange talents and very unusual passions who have somehow found each other.
I have always been interested in people who live outside of the fabric of the norm.
We're not very accepting of people who act strangely.
