My dad was this sort of avant-garde guy who did all kinds of weird things. He was a true original and anybody who met him never forgot him.

I'm not an American but I have this weird connection to America in different ways through my dad living here for five years my godfather being an American who I'm very close to.

There's sometimes a weird benefit to having an alcoholic violent father. He really motivated me in that I never wanted to be anything like him.

They put me in a harness like a horse to learn the back somersault. It was weird up there when I put on that harness for the first time. The courage came with practice.

I've never won an award for anything and I think it's weird. I mean that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.

I wasn't some weird loner in school but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties.

It's great that people are basically spending their two weeks of vacation to come out and be with us in some weird part of the world. And I think we owe it to them to take 'em to some cool places.

I remember being in Atlantic City once when I was 18 or 19 and a sea of people were screaming and pulling their hair because I was there. It was weird. Nobody deserves adulation like that. I tried to explain it to my kids once. I said 'Mommy used to be kind of cool kind of like a Britney Spears.'

I get really cool gifts and I know this sounds really lame but I think one of the best gifts I've ever received was the Easy Bake Oven when I was younger. When I was little I loved to bake! I want to get one now so I can make weird mini desserts for people.

You know you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool - 'Saturday Night Fever ' Brian De Palma handsome young god... he in reality is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices making people laugh.
