• De los 13 a los 17, 18 años; pensaba que así era el mundo. Nunca se me ocurrió que era un período muy inusual en la historia de la música. Así que seguí adelante asumiendo que algún día tendría mi banda como mis héroes tenían su propia banda. Así que la gente me hace esta pregunta todo el tiempo: "El bajo es básicamente un instrumento de fondo". La otra cosa es que en la música urbana, la música negra, el bajo tiene un perfil mucho más alto.

• The 1970s were the height of social mobility. College was accessible. My grandfather was a poor immigrant who went to a public school in Ohio, and my father went to Harvard. That wasn't unusual. There was a feeling that anything was possible and you didn't have to be born into money to have a successful life. Now, people don't believe in the idea that anything is possible. We have more inequality than we've had ever before and a greater concentration of wealth in the hands of a few.

• It is very unusual for someone from Latin American society to openly stand by his homosexuality. In my hometown, there are still lots of prejudices against gays. We are often not considered to be fully-fledged people. The family is sacred there; having children means more than anything else.

• It isn't so unusual for poems to situate themselves out of doors - though they may, at the same time, be set in an interior world: not inside the house but inside the mind and body of writer and reader.

• Unfortunately it's hard for me to be a fanboy for anything these days just because I see so much music. And it's not a namedropping thing, but there's just not that many people in this certain small little genre world we live in that I don't know or am not acquainted with. And I like them all; I get along with pretty much everyone. It wouldn't be unusual to see a thousand collaborations at some point.

• I always, at least back then, struggled with emotion in writing. I felt like I could do odd, unusual things, but there wouldn't be enough feeling in them, and maybe if there's a progression at all to anything that I've done it's that I've always wanted to have a high - an almost overwhelming - degree of feeling in what I write.

• Ronald Reagan was unusual in being an authentic personality. Unlike many professional actors - and politicians - he was much the same behind the curtain as in front.

• That enforced time when you have to switch off, that you're on a plane, is so unusual these days. It's just that thing of not being able to interact with other people through e-mails or social media or whatever. It's crazy how you even notice that you're not able to do that. I find that the kind of traveling - long days, particularly if you go somewhere to do a show, and then traveling again the next day - a lot of people would find pretty challenging, but I find it energizing in a weird way.

• It is culturally constructed, but not unnecessary. A crisis is a period in a person's life that lasts at least a year during which there is an unusual level of emotional instability, negativity, and crucially, major changes. This is important because right now, when you diagnose mental health problems, where you are in life doesn't really come into it. Psychologists are saying that it should.

• Si [los Respulicanos] no pueden deshacerse de [Obamacare], van a tener que decirle a su base, les hemos estado mintiendo durante los últimos cinco años. Así que están dispuestos a llegar casi a cualquier extremo para hacerlo. Eso es inusual, de hecho creo que es único en la historia de los sistemas parlamentarios modernos. Y es muy peligroso para el país y para el mundo.

• My friends back in Barcelona called me by that name (Picasso). It was stranger, more resonant, than "Ruiz." And those are probably the reasons I adopted it. Do you know what appealed to me about that name? Well, it was undoubtedly the double s, which is fairly unusual in Spain.

• It shows that there's a huge consciousness in the world around sacred sites. But I don't know if we've reached the seven percent, if that's what it takes. I just don't know these things. There are definitely some unusual circumstances spreading today that make me feel more and more that we have already made a specific transition.

• I was such a huge fan of Harry Potter books. That's how I got into it. I had never really thought about acting or a career. I just wanted to be Ron, really. It was a very unusual introduction into the industry, and we learned so much. It's been a real education and an evolution. I really, really enjoy this.

• It's not that unusual for presidents to take strong positions on cases decided by the court. But you know, Lesley, that's why the Constitution wisely gave us life tenure. They can talk about us, but they can't remove us.

• También debemos fijarnos en los precedentes antes de tomar estas decisiones. En lugar de escuchar la retórica de Muamar Gadafi, deberíamos fijarnos en cómo se ha comportado. El hecho es que recientemente ha hecho concesiones. Renunció a sus armas nucleares. Permitió que cientos de estadounidenses evacuaran Trípoli. ¿Tomó medidas enérgicas contra su pueblo que se rebeló? Sí, pero eso no es tan inusual. Para mí, siempre es un fracaso de la diplomacia. Nuestra voluntad de recurrir inmediatamente a una solución militar es inquietante.

• In seven years, we'll have the highest percentage of Americans non-native born since the founding of the republic. And some people think, "Well, we've always had these numbers." But it's not so. This is very unusual. It's a radical change. And in fact, when the numbers reached about this high in 1924, the president and Congress changed the policy, and it slowed down immigration significantly. And we then assimilated through the 1965 and created really the solid middle class of America, with assimilated immigrants, and it was good for America.

• I'd have no rituals, but I'm a person of compulsive habit. That's just some awful residue of a ritual. And one of the reasons for that is my living this life, which is otherwise so free of obligations. It's not at all unusual for anybody who's independently employed to crave a way of living whereby they create the structures without which their lives would otherwise start slopping around all over the place.
