Great perils have this beauty that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.

What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying 'Oh our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence they haven't taken away the injustice the laws are still on the books.

But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude like they were some big deal I just found that very strange.

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.

A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.

The alchemy of good curating amounts to this: Sometimes placing one work of art near another makes one plus one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact transform both and create a third thing.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.

My therapist says I still haven't got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I'm going to explode. But I'm still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing - all those experiences led me to the paths that I'm on now.

You go through at least the first two years of Star Trek and you find some amazing stuff. Everything that was going on Gene put into the series. He just put strange costumes on the actors and painted them funny colours and left the same situation in.

The New York Quarterly is an amazing intelligent crazy creative strange and indispensable magazine.

The strangest thing that human speech and human writing can do is create a metaphor. That is an amazing leap is it not?

I've worn dresses from all different price ranges and the thing that couture dresses have in common is that the fit is amazing.

Motion capture is amazing. I prefer it. You wear a 'Power Ranger'-esque suit you have tape balls on you you have 60 cameras around you capturing your every movement and there's no hair no makeup.

Strangely enough when the Sugababes' 'Freak Like Me' went to number 1 which was built around my 'Are 'Friends' Electric' song I had another song called 'Rip' go to number 1 in the Kerrang TV chart so I was pulling new people in from very different areas of musical interest. That was quite an amazing week.

I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange I never thought I would be.

The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.

In Sleep we lie all naked and alone in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness and we are strange and beautiful asleep for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.

A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone but ranges through the whole world anxious to bless the whole human race.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend or even a stranger if in a lonely place.

It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.
