“My worst job was packing animal feed in a warehouse in Gloucestershire when I was a student. It was a very strange environment. It was hung heavy with oat dust, the place was infested with mice, and everyone who worked there was over 60, and I was 18. It was crazy. Apologies to anyone who works in animal-feed packing industry and loves it.” JobsAnimalEnvironmentCrazyWorstStudentsStrangeIndustryAnd LoveHeavyDustApologyHungMicePackingWarehouse Author:Simon Pegg
“If I could get any semblance of, not really anonymity, but control over my public image, that would be nice. But no, I think it's impossible [to maintain that], for one thing. I don't think anyone can do that, apart from Denzel Washington. It's a strange place that the film industry is at, where you can just play superhero after superhero.” IfsThinkingPlayWould BeFilmCan DoNiceImpossibleOne ThingStrangeIndustryIf I CouldBeing NiceSuperheroAnonymityFilm IndustrySemblanceStrange PlacesDenzelPublic Image Author:Robert Pattinson
“The music industry went through such a strange stretch in 1977, especially in this country, with the whole punk rock thing coming about. Punk was rebellious-and justified in that response-but it had very little to do with music, and so it created a highly-charged but frighteningly floundering atmosphere that I found very, very disheartening. Musical quality for me has always been an important part of rock'n'roll-and winning recognition for that has long been an uphill battle all the way. Punk seemed like rock'n'roll utterly without the music.” WayLittlesLongImportantCountryWholeFoundWinningQualityRocksStrangeIndustryBattleResponseMusicalRecognitionAtmosphereRock N RollPunkJustifiedRebelliousMusic IndustryPunk RockDishearteningUphill BattlesFloundering Author:Steve Winwood

“The movie industry places such importance on first-week numbers-which means what to people, I don't know. It's very strange. They hope to sell tons of records the first week, and then what?” PeopleKnowsFirstsMeanNumbersRecordsWeekStrangeIndustryImportanceSellsMovie Industry Author:Brendan Benson
“Choosing work is an interesting thing. It's a balance between what's available and what you've always got in the back of your mind - that awful, strange thing that seems to have to exist in this industry, of what will give you "exposure."” GivingMindSeemsInterestingStrangeIndustryBalanceAvailableAwfulExposureInteresting ThingsStrange Things Author:Guy Pearce
“Acting is a very strange industry in that it flows in these weird ways, I'll be so busy for 6 months and then nothing for a couple months, so it's hard for me to focus and stuff.” WayHardStuffActingFocusStrangeMonthsIndustryCoupleFlowBusy Author:Alia Shawkat
