"Jack had a breakdown. A real mental breakdown. He was manic depressive. But he was the one that wanted the divorce. He thought it was better for me and the kids. I never did. I would have hung in there. I felt in many ways he was acting strangely and doing strange things and he felt perhaps it was better for all of us." - on the end of her marriage to Jack Cassidy
- Shirley Jones"Now that I`m directing is where I`ve felt how difficult it is. Out of 200 or so movies made last year, only seven were directed by women. There`s been an enormous leap of women producers and heads of studios, but strangely enough, those women haven`t given other women a boost. It`s very frustrating."
- JoBeth Williams"Strangely enough, I don`t like horror pictures at all. I love to make them because they give pleasure to people, but my favourite types of films are much more subtle than horror. I like to watch films like Bridge Over the River Kawi, The Apartment or lovely musicals." - (1980s)
- Peter Cushing"We were approaching Madrid airport on an Iberia flight from Barcelona when our tour manager, who was sitting next to me, grabbed hold of my left leg. I said, `Fuck off Ian,` but he wouldn`t let go so I hit him. I then looked at the other passengers and noticed they had the same look of complete panic on their faces as he did. I asked him what was wrong and he said, `We nearly died.` Apparently, the plane had approached the runway almost on its side with the left wing no more than six feet off the ground. Just before impact, the pilot had managed to right the plane so avoiding disaster and probably our death. For the rest of the day, everyone got completely drunk and told all and sundry how much they loved them. I felt strangely distant as I had not shared the experience."
- Damon AlbarnI`m still just finding my way through. I don`t actually see a path in front of me. I can see not ever doing it again, and I can also see other things pulling me away from this. It`s strange, because I know it`s in my blood in terms of having to somehow act or express myself creatively, but I`m willing to do it different ways if need be. And I think that`s partly because when I went through my divorce I dealt with the idea of never ever working again, and never being here and never able to be an actress, and went through an enormous amount of soul searching, and at that time, I was very ready to give it all up, and dealt with that emotionally. I was going, "Well, I`ll never be able to do this again." And that was OK. And, strangely, as life is so strange, that was when everything exploded.
- Nicole KidmanStrangely enough I`m better on a stage. I love that I feel like I blossom in front of a whole bunch of people.
- Hugh GrantThe world reacts very strangely to people they see on TV, and I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you`re not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you`re special and begin to expect it. For a reporter, that`s the kiss of death.
- Anderson CooperStrangely, some songs you really don`t want to write.
- David BowieAnd, strangely, this one of the few things in life that the third, the latter, the buy with our eyes closed has actually done better than everybody else.
- Jim CramerI never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John`s death.
- Paul McCartneyI think there`s something strangely musical about noise.
- Trent ReznorStrangely enough, in movie writing I`ve been more influenced by big bands than by any other film composer. The big bands of the `forties and then the carry-over into the modern jazz field - Basie, Ellington, all the way up to Mulligan - these are my influences rather than, say, Franz Waxman or Tiomkin or anyone like that. I don`t think in their terms.
- Henry ManciniMovies are usually difficult, often insane, constantly challenging and always strangely amusing to make.
- Yahoo SeriousA script, even it differs from filmmaker to filmmaker, never tells the whole story; there are always elements that need to be invented. As soon as one decides to take a role after having read the script, the various elements begin to fall into place. A character begins to take shape. And regardless of whether the information given is ample or not, it appears to one, strangely, as an apparition. From that moment, one knows whether or not this figure will be able to pass through one; if there is a meeting point.
- Isabelle HuppertWhatever you think of de Sade, he was a complex figure and we should not look for easy answers with him. He was, strangely perhaps, against the death penalty, and he was never put in prison for murders or anything like that.
- Philip KaufmanI think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
- Donal LogueStrangely enough, I`ve always believed that my stories were mainstream stories; the films are narrated in a way that you never have a boring moment.
- Werner HerzogStrangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.
- Alvin LeeOn being asked if he could relate to his character, Pippin: "Strangely enough, the first time I tried to read the book I was on holiday in Florida. I dropped it in the pool my first day there. If that`s not a Pippin thing to do, I don`t know what is."
- Billy BoydInstead of fulfilling the promise of infinite orgasmic bliss, sex in the America of the feminine mystique is becoming a strangely joyless national compulsion, if not a contemptuous mockery.
- Betty FriedanHe was a brilliant producer who made a fortune and, of course, lost every cent in hare-brained investments, ... And he was in love with the male ingénue in the theatrical troupe; the only downside was the ingénue was, by this time, about 52, and he kept insisting on playing 18-year-olds. This guy insisted every season on doing two Shakespeare plays, and invariably somebody tried to murder him during the performance because, strangely enough, Shakespeare wasn`t big in the mining camps.
- David MilchHe was a brilliant producer who made a fortune and, of course, lost every cent in hare-brained investments, ... And he was in love with the male ingnue in the theatrical troupe; the only downside was the ingnue was, by this time, about 52, and he kept insisting on playing 18-year-olds.

- David MilchSo sweet love seemed that April morn. When first we kissed beside the thorn, So strangely sweet, it was not strange We thought that love could never change.
- Robert BridgesStrangely enough, I don`t look at it as a challenge, ... I`m looking for pleasure more than a challenge.
- Sylvie GuillemStrangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them.
- Sitting BullIn the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
- Adolfo VasquezEven President Bush has cited the need to outlaw the practice of corporations making loans to their officers. Strangely enough, when the President was a corporate officer, he took out several loans from the company.
- Al NigrinBut if all these things were the bits of tinsel and straw I made my nest out of, the way I felt while I worked was strangely different.
- Albert GuerardStrangely, Dante`s Divine Comedy did not produce a prose of that creative height or it did so after centuries.
- Aleksander SuglobovThe French, I think, in general, are strangely prolix in their natural history.
- Alex SaittaHow strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
- Andrea DomingoWhen you expect things to happen - strangely enough - they do happen.
- Andy Kyle(To date, Shane Mungit remains Weller`s) most interesting role. I thought Richard (Greenberg) did an amazing job of writing such a strangely sympathetic, but dangerous, narrow-minded young man. He was an amazingly complicated character. ... I just worked on the sympathetic part. To me, what made that character wonderful was his intense, emotional need. That was the main challenge.
- Angelica ChavezAs the grace grows nearer my theology is growing strangely simple, and it begins and ends with Christ as the only Savior of the lost
- Ari RosenthalWell, that`s odd ... I`ve just robbed a man of his livelihood, and yet I feel strangely empty. Tell you what, Smithers - have him beaten to a pulp.
- Audrey Green
