...it is time to sit down and shut up. You have shamed yourself beyond belief. While you are at it, please fire the idiot you call a campaign manager. He clearly ain`t up to the job. - In response to Senator George Allen`s use of an obscure racial slur on the campaign trail
- James LandrithAll the little films I`ve done that were perceived by Hollywood as these obscure, weird things, I always thought could appeal to a larger audience. I mean, box office is such a mystery to me that I can`t . . . you know . . . I have enough trouble doing my own gig.
- Johnny DeppI was a fan of the Daredevil and Green Arrow characters, so it seemed logical to write them. Now I`m kind of interested in taking obscure characters and seeing if we can turn them into top ten books. I mean, DD and GA had somewhat built-in audiences, so there was a basis to work from. But could we take a Doctor Strange book and put that in the top ten? That`d be a fun challenge.
- Kevin SmithAll the little films I`ve done that were perceived by Hollywood as these obscure, weird things, I always thought could appeal to a larger audience. I mean, box office is such a mystery to me that I can`t... you know... I have enough -trouble doing my own gig.
- Johnny DeppYears ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.
- Mickey RourkeBeing horrible in a big film is a quicker nosedive than doing an obscure film and making no money.
- Renée ZellwegerHe`s (T-1000) one of the ones that I`m the most proud of, but I can`t say that he`s my favorite. But he`s one of my close top favorites. I`ve done some roles since that I`m really proud of. I was proud of what I did in CopLand. I really liked what I did in Terminator 2; there have just been a lot of characters since that I`ve done that I`ve really enjoyed. I REALLY enjoyed John Doggett. He was definitely a role that I very much enjoyed. He might be my favorite. Yeah, Doggett might be my favorite actually. But I really liked the character I played in CopLand, a little movie I did called The Only Thrill" with Sam Shepherd, Diane Keaton and Diane Lane, and another movie, a very obscure little independent movie called "Texas Funeral" with Martin Sheen." - (on his favorite character)

- Hugh M. HefnerI`m a bit of a nerd, I wouldn`t mind working in a shop selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles.
- BjörkI always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family. I`m a bit of a nerd, I wouldn`t mind working in a shop like 12 Tónar selling records, or having a radio show where I could play obscure singles. I would also like to teach music. It`s weird the way they teach music in schools like Juliard these days. I know someone who graduated at age 20 as a classical composer, playing music the way they did a hundred years ago or more. I would take kids out into nature, and teach them that they can be right, and not just the teacher. I would let them lead the way. To some degree, at least...

- Martin ShortI did become quite well known from "Four Weddings", and it helped hugely. I wasn`t as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work. I couldn`t complain. It got me jobs in the theatre. I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays and never got one job, until I was in "Four Weddings".
- Anna ChancellorThese products are really exciting, not only because they are a little bit more obscure, unique, but they also taste really good.
- Michael GreenI worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way.
- Steve WozniakNothing discernable to the eye of the spirit is more brilliant or obscure than man; nothing is more formidible, complex, mysterious, and infinite. There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
- Victor HugoTradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.
- G.K. ChestertonRelevance to Alzheimer`s? I don`t know, ... It`s a nice piece of work in the snail model, but any possible link to Alzheimer`s is currently obscure.
- Peter DaviesGod does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won`t tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
- Terry PratchettThe genius of any slave system is found in the dynamics which isolate slaves from each other, obscure the reality of a common condition, and make united rebellion against the oppressor inconceivable.
