Strange Quotes

The rest of my family are obsessed by ‘The X Factor:’ I’m intrigued by it, although its musical values are far away from mine, like a cup of tea with 400 lumps of sugar in it. There’s something very strange about Simon Cowell’s lips, isn’t there? Picture Quote #1

Etgar means challenge. And my family name is Keret, which means urban. So my name is urban challenge. My joke is, it’s a good description of a birth but a strange name for a human being Picture Quote #1

I think Chris Martin is younger than I am, but when I met him, I felt like I was talking to my father. It’s so strange, that feeling when someone is that famous - you assume that they are either older or better Picture Quote #1

My being a writer and playing Scrabble are connected. If I have a good writing day, I’ll take a break and play online Scrabble. My favorite word as a child was ‘carrion,’ before I knew what it meant. I later created crossword puzzles, which was a lot about puns, and how words would create these strange, strange things Picture Quote #1

Museums that aren’t perfect are the ones that I love. Museums that aren’t overdesigned. I always like to visit the strange, odd museums. In New York, the Frick is absolutely my favorite, favorite place because I like to think that it was someone’s home not that long ago Picture Quote #1

One of the strange phenomena of the last century is the spectacle of religion dropping the appeal of fear while other human interests have picked it up Picture Quote #1

I started feeling it was wrong to withhold my music for money - as strange as that might sound! Picture Quote #1
