I'm an artist, and I'm a bit weird, and I'm probably a bit eccentric.
I find that I'm quite experimental. I'm drawn to the brighter and weirder things.
I wasn't intentionally trying to be different, but that was an element of what I naturally do that happened to be unique enough to spark a curiosity for people.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
My mom is a little bit eccentric. I mean, she does - she has a lot of unique ideas. For example, she thought that I should have a child with her last husband, Richard, because it would have nice eyes.
I'm sure people think that I'm out in left field you know, playing by myself.
I'm a nut case, but that is what I believe.
Uncommon things must be said in common words, if you would have them to be received in less than a century.
Where's your will to be weird?
The true painter must be able, with the most usual things, to have the most unusual ideas.
Something will pop up in my head. It could be like the weirdest thing. Like all'a sudden like I have like a jumping banana in my head.
Let's just say my mind is different.
All of a sudden, those few pages of script that he had shown me with the weird images I could visualize all of that in my brain, and I knew that there was this mad little genius at work here and I really wanted to do the film.
All of my characters have a glint of madness.
I'm a bit crazy, yes.
I've been called crazy many times before.
I'm crazy, I'm nuts. Just the way my brain works. I'm not normal. I think differently.
A genius is someone with the ability to come up with ideas that are new, surprising and valuable.
There are some loony people in this world!
What we're always looking for is weird social issues and weird connections to make. Luckily for them, there's no shortage of material.
I was a manic and eccentric kid. In my head I was very busy, so I must have seemed weird.
The genius which runs to madness is no longer genius.
I share this interest in the weird, strange, unusual, surreal.
I don't think, 'Oh, you know, I'm crazy and zany.'
Sometimes a crazy idea can make something special.
