A Quote by Sondra Locke

'Ratboy' is an offbeat film with a lot of comments to make about human values. But, because it's offbeat, it doesn't have an obvious market.

It's just I hate reading the description 'offbeat' about a character in a script, because I, along with Seth Green, Jamie Kennedy and a few others, have cornered the market on 'offbeat.'

Breckin Meyer

I was the offbeat character that had to kiss the offbeat boys and, ugh, some of the boys they brought in. There was one boyfriend in particular, we had to climb a mountain, and he was just weird and awful, and I hated it. So the producers left a big bag of Hershey Kisses after that taping saying, "Here are some kisses you will actually enjoy. Thanks for doing this." Isn't that so nice?

Andrea Barber

Even during my short film days, I approached theatres with the idea of playing them during the interval. They thought it was problematic to screen an offbeat short film in between a commercial film.

Karthik Subbaraj

Because of how much movies cost, it's dangerous to be experimental on one film after the other. But we can experiment with television. We can do things that are fringe and bring ideas to the table that are offbeat and original.

Steven Spielberg

My offbeat choices definitely don't get me too much money because they are made in a very restrained budget. We do it because we love cinema, because we are passionate about the content and new ways of storytelling.

Manoj Bajpayee

There is something about the Australian psyche that seems to like films that are slightly offbeat.

Nick Park

I think if you went to a studio and pitched the first 'Insidious,' it never would have gotten made because it was so offbeat.

Jason Blum

I have always tried to make life interesting for myself by doing different roles that connect mainstream cinema with its offbeat counterpart.

Urmila Matondkar

My films are completely offbeat.

Shoojit Sircar

Before me, there was no offbeat flow.

E-40

You can time a part perfectly and play it badly. And some people have very individual offbeat timing, which is their own. It works simply because they are who they are.

Alan Bates

Creativity is a renewable resource. Challenge yourself every day. Be as creative as you like, as often as you want, because you can never run out. Experience and curiosity drive us to make unexpected, offbeat connections. It is these nonlinear steps that often lead to the greatest work.

Biz Stone

On the one hand I have very traditional values: I'm looking for love and want a baby one day. On the other hand, I have a secret and rebel side, that I maybe took from an Australian mom who handed down to me the love for adventure and freedom. And sometimes I feel a bit offbeat.
