In my normal life, I do not speak with an accent. It's harder for people to realize my hearing loss in everyday life.
I want people to know that movie stars live a normal, middle-class life.
I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.
I think it's pretty normal that there are a lot of people out there who don't like us.
I like to see people laugh who are normally serious.
I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.
Madness, genius, originality - it's all the same thing; it's a breaking of our normal value structure and the substitution of another one.
Some artists are normal people who just happen to make things because we can't figure out how in the hell to communicate with people.
The more normal it gets for people to see people of a gender or skin tone they wouldn't expect in jobs that they wouldn't expect, or speaking a way they wouldn't expect them to, the more it cultivates a sense that we share more than separates us.
L.A. can be pretty insane because there's so much show business here, but I also know a lot of kids who grew up in Manhattan who are some of the most normal, nicest people I know. Casting directors always say Chicago people are just nicer.

I really enjoy watching people like Madonna, or Cher, or Barbra Streisand on the red carpet. I want to see people wearing exciting things that are different and to know that they're not just looking for the latest, most normal thing.
I'd be a liar if I said I had a normal family.
I understand that you want “normal” by what you define it, but normal is what you make it. You could spend a lifetime in the house you grew up in and never once feel normal.
I'm just trying to get back to normal life.
I was happier before, when I lead a normal life.
I like normal life, but I will go crazy if I'm not working.
Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.
[first lines] Niki Lauda: Twenty five drivers start every season in Formula One, and each year two of us die. What kind of person does a job like this? Not normal men, for sure. Rebels, lunatics, dreamers. People who are that desperate to make a mark...
