When I'm losing, they call me nuts. When I'm winning, they call me eccentric.

Part of me is nonhuman and eccentric, which is what a hobbit is, and I don't mind being eccentric.

Orson Bean

Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.

Crispin Glover

Where there seems to be a difference between guys being nuts and women being nuts is that guys are much more open in calling each other on stuff; lots of insults and dirty names. Whereas women will talk frankly and honesty, but there also seems to be more passive aggressiveness.

Paul Feig

When I was losing, they called me nuts. When I was winning they called me eccentric.

I'll be seen as eccentric, like Vic Reeves or Spike Milligan, which would be amazing. But I suppose I'm in this weird transitional period between having some success doing weird stuff and not being eccentric yet. I'm in limbo.

Noel Fielding

It would be a lie to say that I don't care what people say about me. Every human being cares unless they're nuts. Am I nuts? But you can't allow that to override your mission.

Roger Ailes

A lot of people will call me nuts or crazy, but I've always been pretty stable. By some people's standards, I might be crazy. But I realize that I'm not going to harm anyone, and the only place that I live is within my own universe, really - so it's O.K.

Rachel Miner

It's kind of spooky when you are caught talking to God everybody thinks you're nuts. They used to call you a prophet.

Paul Zindel

If you spend all your time arguing with people who are nuts, you'll be exhausted and the nuts will still be nuts.

Scott Adams

I'm not always nuts, you can't be nuts 100 per cent of the time, I don't even think I'm nuts.

Jimmy Bullard

The vampire bible, bound in human skin, written in blood, and full of prophecies that were never wrong. Trouble was, if you read the thing too long, it drove you nuts. Not "I'm having a bad day and feel bitchy" nuts or PMS nuts. "I think I'll commit felony assault on my friends and rape my boyfriend" nuts.

MaryJanice Davidson

People do call her eccentric, moody but with me she has always been the same. I always talk about love with Rekha.

Randhir Kapoor

Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not "centric" in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.

Daphne Guinness

Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.
