Familiar things happen, and mankind does not bother about them. It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.
I'm always looking at how I can be atypical.
Normal people don't just wake up in the morning and say I think it'd be a good idea to run for president of the United States.
I do have some very strange thoughts... Still, all geniuses are mad aren't they?
I've always said time and time again that I hate anything conventional.
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
Normal people - i.e., people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, 'They are clinically insane.'
I don't think, 'Oh, you know, I'm crazy and zany.'
Take the course opposite to custom and you will almost always do well.
A multiple personality is in a certain sense normal.
I remember knowing, for a while, for a long time, that I was kind of abnormal in some sense.
I have seen some crazy people do some crazy things on my variety show. I have to stop and ask them a lot of the time, just how they figured out that they could do the things that they do, some of it is just plain freaky.
I just always hear music in my head. I thought that was normal. My wife said, 'Ramin, that's not normal.'

Quirky is what a guy would call a girl he doesn't understand.
I don't think that genius goes hand in hand with being socially inept or being a sociopath or being a misanthrope, but I do think that it is a mind that can think so differently - so beyond how one is supposed to think.
I wouldn't say Malkovich is totally insane, but he's not living in the real world. He's living in his world, which is a fine world to live in apparently.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
My dad's not the most normal thinking person. It's not normal to need to make millions or billions of dollars.
