We all know interspecies romance is weird.

If you've ever had that feeling of loneliness, of being an outsider, it never quite leaves you. You can be happy or successful or whatever, but that thing still stays with you.

One person's craziness is another person's reality.

Maybe it__ just in America, but it seems that if you__e passionate about something, it freaks people out. You__e considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.

You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.

Mr. Smith yelled at the doctor,What have you done to my boy?He's not flesh and blood,he's aluminum alloy!"The doctor said gently,What I'm going to saywill sound pretty wild.But you're not the father of this strange looking child.You see, there still is some questionabout the child's gender,but we think that its fatheris a microwave blender.

My name is Jimmy,but my friends just call methe hideous penguin boy.

Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry,but do you dream of Heaven?Have you ever wanted to die?

I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.

I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.

Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.

A lot of things you see as a child remain with you... you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.

I find that the most special thing to me is if you've connected to people in some way: If someone comes up to you on the street and says something to you, and you know it's meant something to them, and it's connected to some project. That, I find, is amazing.

There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

It's good as an artist to always remember to see things in a new, weird way.

When people are deprived of a sense, their other senses get heightened. If you're culturally devoid of something - of weather, of artistry, of interesting architecture, all the way down the line to culture itself - you're either forced to give in and get that car dealership, or you manufacture those things for yourself.
