| Jay-Z | I'm a mirror. If you're cool with me, I'm cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don't like what you see, then you've done something. If I'm standoffish, that's because you are. | 101 |
| Brendon Urie | It's cool to be different and just be who you are and shock people in a good way. | 101 |
| Deng Xiaoping | Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big.  | 101 |
| F. Sionil Jose | November is auspicious in so many parts of the country: the rice harvest is already in, the weather starts to cool, and the festive glow which precedes Christmas has began to brighten the landscape. | 101 |
| Kimiko Glenn | I was born and grew up in Phoenix, and I left there when I was 17 to go to Interlochen Arts Academy - a boarding school in Michigan - for a year, and then I went to college for a year at The Boston Conservatory and landed the 'Spring Awakening' tour midway through my freshman year, which was pretty cool. | 101 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool or trendy, I'm definitely an individual. | 101 |
| Nathan Fillion | I'm constantly pitching one episode where we see life through Castle's eyes. I think Castle's just a little off as far as his perception goes. A very, very clever man, but I want to see the world as Castle sees it - kind of a rose-colored glasses, all the women find him irresistible, all the guys find him super cool and do whatever he says. | 101 |
| Oliver Reed | When I come home and I'm tired from filming all day, I expect her to be there and make sure everything is cool for me. You know, like drawing my bath and helping me into bed. | 101 |
| Rufus Wainwright | Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be. | 101 |
| Steve Gleason | If we have a purpose in life beyond being a cog in the human machine, mine is to help inspire people and that's pretty cool. I would like to motivate the world. | 101 |
| Tommy Lee | I've always loved the mixture of crushing live drums with a programmed groove, that really cool blend, like in the verse there's a really funky drum beat that is programmed then it comes in to the chorus; you've got that enormous human feel where the band kicks in. | 101 |
| Tyler, The Creator | I think I'm cool. That's all that matters. | 101 |
| Vanessa Hudgens | Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do. | 101 |
| Victor Koo | 'YouKu' means what's best and what's cool in Chinese. So, the whole product philosophy really revolves around how to help users, from a massive video database, finds what's best and what's cool. | 101 |
| Zach Cregger | I think a generation ago, dads went to work, they came home, and they had their dinner, had a drink, and then went to bed. I don't know what it was like in your house, but that is how it was in mine. I think it is cool to have the dads in the trenches and doing the real parenting work. | 101 |
| Bing Gordon | The world of digital media is being transformed. A bunch of new businesses can be reinvented, thanks to social graphs, the mobile internet, and the new shopping habits of the young. Those are going to create a whole generation of cool new companies. | 101 |
| Brian K. Vaughan | I like animal sidekicks. They seem to be a pretty cool trope of post-apocalyptic fiction - just because if you're going to have this lone protagonist, they're going to need someone to talk to. Dogs are overused, and cats are dumb. So that leaves monkeys. | 101 |
| Britt Robertson | I am the oldest of seven. Do my siblings think I'm super cool? I wish they thought I was super cool! | 101 |
| Burl Ives | The cool wind blew in my face and all at once I felt as if I had shed dullness from myself. Before me lay a long gray line with a black mark down the center. The birds were singing. It was spring. | 101 |
| Charlie Worsham | I'm in this really cool place in my career, where the stage I'm on that night, whether it's the Paisley tour, the CMT tour, or a bar with 10 people in it, it is the most important show I've ever played in my life. I go to the ends of my imagination to do something that's unforgettable every night. | 101 |
| Daisy Ridley | Rey is so strong. She's cool and smart and she can look after herself. Young girls can look at her and know that they can wear trousers if they want to. That they don't have to show off their bodies. | 101 |
| Diplo | People don't know exactly what I do; they just know I'm 'cool.' | 101 |
| Kellin Quinn | A huge thing for me growing up was going to see my favorite bands and feeling like, 'Okay, cool, they proved themselves and did things in a special way.' That's the most important thing. | 101 |
| Kerry King | My strangest media moment a photo session they all had dressed up like 50 gangsters. That was pretty cool. We have to get some more of those kind of photos sometimes. | 101 |
| Marc Bolan | I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home. | 101 |
| Natalia Tena | I love the fact that little kids think I'm a witch. A mum might come over and say 'I'm sorry to disturb you, but my daughter thinks you're in 'Harry Potter.' I'll say 'That's cool' and take the kid aside and say, 'I'm a witch. If you don't listen to your mum, I'm going to haunt you!' It's brilliant. I can scare kids into doing their homework. | 101 |
| Nick Goepper | I think the Winter Olympics are definitely on a smaller scale than the summer games, but with the inclusion of cool new sports like slope style skiing and snowboarding, it is going to breathe new life into them and attract a whole new crowd. | 101 |
| Rhys Darby | My youngest son has a very clear idea of what he wants to be when he grows up: he wants to be Indiana Jones, Batman and Jack Sparrow. Yes, all three at the same time. So he basically wants to be an archaeologist who wears tights and fights crimes on pirate ships. That's pretty cool, huh? | 101 |
| Tessanne Chin | I think when you are a cool guy but also a hot guy, that makes you even more sexy. | 101 |
| Tinashe | As a person, I have a lot of different sides to me, and I genuinely just embrace them. I don't think, 'Oh, I gotta put on my cool face now!' | 101 |
| Busta Rhymes | I want you to see that I'm looking. Look at me look at you. I'm cool with that. | 101 |
| Chris Eigeman | I never dreamed I'd be a spokesman for anything. But Pac Bell just asked me. The money was OK; the scripts were fun because I had to do in 30 seconds what it takes a whole feature to do and because the dysfunctional family of agents, managers and lawyers who represent me said it was cool. | 101 |
| Christopher Atkins | I thought that would be kind of cool, to make a bad guy look sympathetic. | 101 |
| Eve | I always say, 'Hip-hop takes me everywhere.' It's crazy when I step onstage, and people might not speak much English, but they know every word to your songs. It's kind of freaky, but it's really cool. | 101 |
| Kara Lindsay | I used to listen to 'Perfect Day' by Hoku every single day in high school! 'On this perfect day, nothin' standin' in my way... Don't you try to rain on my perfect day.' It pumped me up when I was feeling down or defeated, whether it was from the cool kids making me feel left out or feeling overwhelmed with homework and mean teachers. | 101 |
| Peter Baynham | It feels quite cool, in a mad way, to be someone who skulks about in the shadows. | 101 |
| Rickie Fowler | I don't want to be just known for the way I dress. I want to be known for how I play, how I treat people, and how I am as a role model. I don't just want to be, 'He dresses cool' or 'He dresses crazy.' You're going to have lovers and haters. I want my golf game to be the main thing. | 101 |
| Steven Adler | Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that'll be me. | 101 |
| Dee Dee Ramone | I got tired of the Ramones around the time I quit and I really got into rap. I thought it was the new punk rock. LL Cool J was my biggest idol. | 101 |
| Marc Newson | To create well I have to be in a good mood, happy and cool. | 101 |
| Rob Corddry | Apparently it's cool to watch The Daily Show. | 101 |
| Shaun Alexander | I think when you're winning, your uniforms are cool. | 101 |
| Sly Stone | Sunday school don't make you cool forever. | 101 |
| Solomon Burke | The secret was to just be cool, stay in God's graces, and work it out. | 101 |
| Stephenie Meyer | With 'The Host,' I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool. I'd love to see Robert Redford put on a beard and be Jeb; he would be amazing... Matt Damon has some very Jared-esque qualities, and then Casey Affleck as Ian and Ben Affleck as Kyle. Imagine the interplay. | 101 |
| Tania Raymonde | The cool thing about working and meeting a lot of people through your acting is that you never know who you might work with, in the future. | 101 |
| Adrian Edmondson | A lot of people are obsessed with looking cool. They feel they have to look after their image. | 101 |
| Breckin Meyer | I think it can be fun to be single and date-like when you don't want a relationship. Or when you've just gotten out of a relationship, and, after get over the initial shock, your thinking, Hey, it's kind of cool being single. | 101 |
| Charlie Crist | When I look at President Obama, I see a leader with a cool head, a caring heart and an open mind, a president who has demonstrated through his demeanor and through his deeds that he is uniquely qualified to heal our divisions, rebuild our nation and lead us to a brighter future together. | 101 |
| Corbin Bleu | I am a very open, social, friendly person, and when it comes to people approaching me and asking for an autograph, I am totally cool with doing any of that. It's a lot of fun. | 101 |
| Creed Bratton | I do love to walk around in New York because people will notice me, smile, but they never bother anyone. New Yorkers are very cool. I love New York. | 101 |
| Deborah Harkness | My niece was very much caught up in the vampire craze for young adults, and she thought having a vampire boyfriend would be a cool thing. What do you do on a first date? The more I thought about it, the more fun I had imagining what you'd serve a vampire for dinner. | 101 |
| Jenson Button | In my hometown there is a pub named after me - The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?! | 101 |
| John Goodman | It was cool for a couple of weeks, but how much bad golf can you play? | 101 |
| Laura Ramsey | Statistically, Portland, Oregon has the most street kids, like kids that run away from home and live on the street. It's like a whole culture thing there. If you walk around on the streets, there are kids living on the streets, begging for money, but it's almost like a cool thing. They all just sit around and play music and squat. | 101 |
| Masashi Kishimoto | Perfect heroes are cool, but no one can really empathize or identify with them. | 101 |
| Rhona Mitra | Spiderman can climb walls and he's got a cool outfit. | 101 |
| Rony Abovitz | For cool things to happen, you have to get out of your comfort zone. | 101 |
| Ted McGinley | I remember in high school trying to get home from water-polo practice in time so I could see Happy Days on television when it first came on, because I was so blown away by it. It was just such a cool thing. | 101 |
| Brian Floca | I think what initially attracts many kids to trains are the 'cool' things: strength, size, agency, speed. But trains also operate within a world of systems, schedules, codes, and fine distinctions. Enter the geeks. What I personally love most about trains is that they are transporting, that they take us places - literally and otherwise. | 101 |
| CC Sabathia | I like Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. With the waterfall and things like that, I think it's pretty cool. | 101 |
| Dawn Fraser | It's a beautiful thing, diving into the cool crisp water and then just sort of being able to pull your body through the water and the water opening up for you. | 101 |
| Doug Hoffman | I'm not cool with ACORN or the working families' party, or people that vote like democrats and run on Republican lines. | 101 |
| Michael Azerrad | When you're writing, you're only a brain and some fingers, but drumming, you're involving all four limbs, and you're hearing stuff and you're converting your ideas into physical motions, getting physical feedback from things you are touching - it's pretty cool. It's a really a nice contrast to writing. | 101 |
| Miles Teller | I just got an iPhone, which is cool, but I don't download movies, I don't watch Hulu, I don't have Netflix. I don't do any of that. But I do geek out to music. | 101 |
| Rena Sofer | When I buy clothes, I like to buy them in outfits so I know they go together. I like a very simple, natural style. I never like to be the attention getter; I like to come under the radar and be cool about my look, very classic and stylish. I'm not into fads. | 101 |
| Alan Cooper | There's a fundamental problem with how the software business does things. We're asking people who are masters of hard-edged technology to design the soft, human side of software as well. As a result, they make products that are really cool - if you happen to be a software engineer. | 101 |
| Anne Fortier | Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman. | 101 |
| Charlotte Arnold | I hated the idea of a high school sweetheart. Growing up, oh my God, it just made me sick. I wanted to have a range of cool boyfriends. I wanted to travel around and date these interesting men. Then it just happened. You fall in love. | 101 |
| Martin Compston | When I was young, running with a gang was a cool thing to do; that's how you get popular; that's how you get the girls. | 101 |
| Michael Eklund | I don't follow anything that's said about him much, but the Uwe Boll that I know is just a really cool guy. He's just a really quiet, kind and passionate filmmaker who really believes in what he's doing. Like any director that an actor wants to work with, you want a director who's passionate and believes in the work that he's doing. | 101 |
| Mitchel Musso | I'm not looking for anything more than any other guy. I like a good smile. Pretty eyes. She has to be active, like not play-sports active, but she'll play air hockey, do some pool, go for rides on the Santa Monica Pier. I would much rather have fun with her than do the cool thing. | 101 |
| Ryan Lee | I haven't experienced anything paranormal yet, but I did see what I think was a meteor light up the sky in a flash of red for a few seconds. That was really cool. | 101 |
| Ali Farahnakian | There was a period in my life when I would say no, and I didn't know why I was saying no. In most cases, it was out of fear, just trying to be safe. Because 'no' will keep you safe. 'No' won't draw attention to you. But all the cool things are on the other side of 'Yes, And.' | 101 |
| Michiel Huisman | Growing up in Holland, I always thought my name was boring, but in the U.S., all of a sudden I have a very cool name. | 101 |
| Marylouise Burke | I had to take false steps and go through hard times to come out to where I am now. I can't imagine living without acting. It's not easy, and I don't disrespect anyone who steps out of it after a certain point. Having a family and a house is cool. It's not a betrayal. But if you're going to be an actor, it has to be more than a passing interest. | 101 |
| Justin Verlander | Growing up, I played 'Ken Griffey, Jr. Baseball' and just whatever I could get my hands on. When I was really young, I was a big fan of Mario and that type of stuff. I still play videogames now, so it was really cool for me to be able to play as myself on '2K6' or '2K7,' I believe it was, when I was a rookie. | 101 |
| James Bernard Frost | Whatever one thinks of Twitter, the Friday Reads hashtag is kind of a cool tradition. | 101 |
| Jessica Lucas | L.A. can be very superficial, and it's hard to meet cool people here. I try to stay away from the glitzy side of the business and have a normal life as much as possible. I keep to myself. | 101 |
| Jake Lacy | I look like an accountant. And no offense to accountants! There's some really cool accountants out there. | 101 |
| James Frecheville | I wear a lot of things for fun. Sometimes I'll wear one item that is deliberately stupid because that will make the outfit cool. | 101 |
| Prince | Music is music, ultimately. If it makes you feel good, cool. | 102 |
| Lady Gaga | So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool. | 102 |
| Charlie Puth | I'm always inspired by people who have really cool Twitter profiles. | 102 |
| Dane Cook | Vince Vaughn is a genuine person, awesome guy. He'll come to a lot of my shows. It's not that often that you can meet someone as cool as Vince. | 102 |
| Diane Kruger | Orlando's a really cool guy. They hired him for 'Lord of the Rings' out of drama school. He's very new at this still and doesn't have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we've tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good. | 102 |
| Elia Kazan | Whatever hysteria exists is inflamed by mystery, suspicion and secrecy. Hard and exact facts will cool it. | 102 |
| Estelle | John Legend is a cool guy. He likes to chill, is easy to talk to and hang out with. He's also inspiring on a musical level. | 102 |
| Felix Baumgartner | Heroes don't wear diapers. It's just not cool. | 102 |
| George Fox | Be still and cool in thine own mind and spirit. | 102 |
| Harry Styles | I think you have to be cool to be a good flirt, and I don't think I'm very cool. | 102 |
| Iggy Azalea | I was a kid watching music videos, which were so cool and made me want to learn how to dance. I wish I could've gone to dance classes and learn, like, hip-hop dancing. | 102 |
| Imogen Heap | I do really silly dancing. I love dancing, but I'm not cool when I dance. It's not about my moves, it's not about how cool I am, it's not about how slick I look on the dance floor, it's about having a great time. | 102 |
| Owen Wilson | You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors. | 102 |
| Theo James | What I like about the 'Underworld' thing is that it's a mix of cool genres, as well as creating its own message. | 102 |
| Tyler Joseph | It's a funny thing. I'll be in my home town of Columbus at a restaurant or something, and the waiter maybe asks, 'What do you do?' and I say, 'Oh, I'm in a band... Twenty One Pilots,' and he'll say, 'Cool, I'll check it out. I never heard of them.' And then I say, 'In September we're playing the Schottenstein Center,' and it's like, 'What?!' | 102 |
| Usher | I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace. | 102 |
| Valerie Azlynn | I love the Warner Brothers lot. There is so much history there. They've done such a smart thing. They have signs outside of each stage which tell you what movies and TV shows were shot inside. So cool... you can almost feel the ghosts of actors past. | 102 |
| Warren Spector | For me, the cool thing is doing things that could only be done in gaming. | 102 |
| Yuliya Snigir | In chess, you should be as cool as a cucumber. | 102 |
| Zhu Zhu | I have really long hair, so I don't cut it all that often. Sometimes, when I'm working, I just have the stylist on set trim it for me. I don't dye my hair. When I was a teenager, I dyed my hair five colors at one time. It was all different shades of red going from more orange to more purple. I thought I looked so cool. | 102 |
| Zoey Deutch | My signature look is an eighties baby doll dress, combat boots with colorful socks sticking out, and then mounds of jewelry. I love silver and turquoise. I go to Montana every winter, so I hunt around for cool pieces there. | 102 |
| Brian Ferneyhough | When I left Europe in 1987 I did so with the thought that my relevance as a composition teacher would benefit from a certain cool distance to certain tendencies I had been observing for several years with increasing disquiet. | 102 |
| Cheryl Cole | I love Prince Harry. Good looking and a bit of a rebel. Me and his dad are as thick as thieves and I knew Harry before I knew his dad so we've met a few times. I think he's amazing. And I think you can relate to him because he's made mistakes. He's cool. | 102 |
| Daniel Ek | I actually bought a travel guitar, and that guitar is really cool. You can actually fold the guitar, and you can plug headphones into it, but it's acoustic, or semi-acoustic. | 102 |
| David Tennant | I've always been a geek and slightly awkward... slightly umm... I was never the cool kid at school. | 102 |
| Eugene Cernan | We found out the Gemini spacesuit was, well, oxygen was flowing to keep me cool as well as to breathe, and it wasn't good enough. My visor got fogged. | 102 |
| Greg Behrendt | The one cool thing with getting older is that you can actively choose to just be an eccentric. | 102 |
| Ja Rule | Being incarcerated is truly very serious, and it has changed my life to such an extent that breaking the cycle has become my sole focus. Jail is definitely not cool. Education is. | 102 |
| Kelli Berglund | I love Demi Lovato's style. It's really different, but it's super chic and has a cool edge to it. I'm always trying to channel her style when going shopping for new clothes or getting dressed in the morning. | 102 |
| Kellin Quinn | When I went to shows with my friends, it was all about the experience with my friends. If I met the band, it was cool. But it was more about talking about the memories of the show with my friends. | 102 |
| Lance Gross | I'd rate myself an 8. I do have my flaws, but I'm a cool dude. If I wasn't myself, I'd kick it with me. I'm a down-to-earth person and all around cool guy. | 102 |
| Lynn Jurich | Consumers used to think they had to compromise with solar. It was, 'Okay, I'm doing the right thing for the environment; it's cool to see the panels. I have to compromise on the cost and convenience side.' And now they no longer have to. On the cost side, it's cheaper, and on the convenience side, we set it all up. | 102 |
| Marshawn Lynch | I'm cool with my body, I love my body. I wouldn't trade it for no other body. | 102 |
| Narada Michael Walden | White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate. | 102 |
| Nick Denton | My background is economics and maths. I think one of the reasons I studied humanities at all, or even went into journalism, is because, like, science and maths wasn't cool in England when I was growing up. No one ever talked to the engineering students at Oxford. | 102 |
| Seann William Scott | I'm cool with the way I look, I'm not an ugly dog, but I don't see myself as a stud or anything. | 102 |
| Seann William Scott | I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning, and they're crazy. | 102 |
| Tessa Thompson | As a kid, I loved going to lots of thrift stores with my parents. There was a period where I thought it was embarrassing, and then I started to get older - I realized they were really cool. | 102 |
| Thomas Bangalter | The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it's cool, it's fun, it's healthy, it's sexy, it's stylish. On the other hand it's terrifying, it's alienating, it's addictive, and it's scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature. | 102 |
| Willow Smith | If you don't like me, if you like me; both are equally cool. I send love and positive energy to all those people in their lives. I hope they find where they're meant to be. | 102 |
| Ben Silbermann | As a kid, I always idolized entrepreneurs. I thought they were cool people in the way that I thought basketball players were cool people. It's cool that some people get paid to dunk basketballs, but I'm not one of those people. | 102 |
| Dhani Harrison | One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool. | 102 |
| Gary Clark, Jr. | I've been called 'musically schizophrenic,' and some people think that's a cool thing. | 102 |
| Grey DeLisle | I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!! | 102 |
| Josh Radnor | I haven't left the house without a packet of Kleenex in my back pocket for as long as I can remember. Whenever I start thinking I'm incredibly cool, the packet of Kleenex in my back pocket brings me right back down to earth. | 102 |
| Anthony Pratt | We were in recycling before recycling was cool. | 102 |
| Christian Serratos | 'Twilight' has been a great opportunity, and it's been great fun. Hey, if I'm 50, and someone still wants an autograph for 'Twilight,' OK, cool. | 102 |
| Clark Gregg | I was really sad after 'The Avengers' when I realized I was not going to have a part in 'Thor 2' or 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.' But I'm not arguing with my fantastic plane and my really cool car. | 102 |
| David Archuleta | My mom is just someone who's easy to talk to and hang with. My sister, it's always cool to be able to help her out with things. My brother is fun when we're just joking and messing around. And my dad is someone who's helpful with my music and easy to talk to about that stuff because he understands me in that sense. | 102 |
| Jesse McCartney | The first record I ever listened to was Elvis Presley, and I remember thinking, 'Man this guy is cool!' The swagger he had really helped my confidence, because he really made me think that a white boy could make music like this. | 102 |
| Jessica Biel | My Barbies were usually naked. Once, I took their heads off, cut their hair, drew on their short, spiky hair with some markers, then stuck the heads on Christmas lights. Every year, we'd string our tree with those Barbie heads. It looked demonic. My parents were so cool - they saw it as a form of self-expression. | 102 |
| Lauren Myracle | What I find cool about being a banned author is this: I'm writing books that evoke a reaction, books that, if dropped in a lake, go down not with a whimper but a splash. | 102 |
| Michael Schur | If a show ever tries to be cool, then it's going to be doing something wrong. | 102 |
| Ronnie Spector | We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too. | 102 |
| Selena | What's really cool about our family is that we don't hold grudges, and I think that is what's been the key to the success. We get into our little disagreements, and whether we're right or wrong, we'll go and apologize. That's just the way we are. | 102 |
| Adam Brody | And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool. | 102 |
| Adrian Edmondson | On stage, we just want to generate hysteria. We don't care about looking cool or posing. | 102 |
| Alexander Ludwig | Everyone in Hollywood wanted a role in this movie. Everyone wanted to have a part in it. I feel so lucky that I got one, but what I find so cool about 'Hunger Games' is that the real star is the story itself. | 102 |
| Brandon Thomas | All the bands get along really well. That's one of the biggest things on a tour. It's great to get all these cool bands together, but if they don't get along it sucks. | 102 |
| Bridget Hall | I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement. | 102 |
| Camren Bicondova | I always thought it would be cool to go to the island of misfit toys. | 102 |
| Jacques Prevert | An orange on the table, your dress on the rug, and you in my bed, sweet present of the present, cool of night, warmth of my life. | 102 |
| Jonah Goldberg | But if the choice is a cool president and 8 or 10 percent unemployment in a declining economy and a country that seems to be going in the wrong direction and structural unemployment for young people at 50 percent, I'd rather have a dorky president who fixed those problems. | 102 |
| Masashi Kishimoto | I like the way Quentin Tarantino creates a scene using a series of close-ups or showing very cool images of a person or people walking on some ordinary street in slow motion. I wish I could achieve that kind of slow-motion effect in manga, but it's rather difficult to draw; the only things we can play with are tones of black and white. | 102 |
| Peter Buck | Almost all the fans I meet are pretty cool people. They're intelligent and tend to think about things a bit more than your average rock'n'roll fans: sensible people I wouldn't mind having a drink with. | 102 |
| Renee Olstead | Picking a best friend who stands up for what she believes in, is true to herself and allows you to be yourself without judgement of how 'cool' you are? Well, now you're picking a friend for life. | 102 |
| Tracy Spiridakos | I have very fond memories of growing up in Greece, of my brothers and I causing chaos and climbing up trees, which is really cool. Back then, we didn't have all the video games and all that stuff. We just had each other, and we played on the street. | 102 |
| Ashley Olsen | I don't think of myself as hot or cool or anything, just a dork. | 102 |
| Christopher Egan | I've done a road trip across Italy with a girlfriend, and that was very romantic. I think that road trips are probably one of the romantic things you can do. To take your girlfriend and just stay wherever; don't have a destination and just drive and see where the road takes you is pretty cool. | 102 |
| Daniel Stern | The only other thing I can really remember wanting to do besides acting was a gas station attendant. At the time, that seemed like a great job - wash the windows, pump the gas - it looks so cool coming home with black hands. There's a natural transition, from wanting to be a gas station attendant to being an actor, right? | 102 |
| Dustin Milligan | It's like Canada is the little brother to the United States and one day they are going to show the world they're just as cool as their successful big brother. | 102 |
| Jackie Evancho | I still have my school friends who are actually friends. It's nice that they don't think much about my singing career. They think it is cool, and they are happy for me, but they don't really bother me about it. To them, I'm still just the schoolgirl from next door. | 102 |
| Jake Epstein | What's cool about Spider-Man is that it's everybody - anyone, you put on the suit, anyone believes that you're Spider-Man. That's what's charming about the character. He's anyone. He's a huge nerd that ends up being this huge superhero. | 102 |
| Manish Dayal | I actually wanted to first direct and produce, but then I got this very cool opportunity to be in front of the camera once. | 102 |
| Ruta Gedmintas | My name is Lithuanian. My father was born there, and he gave me a cool name. It's the Lithuanian national flower - looks like a weed, a little bit like me! - although in Spanish it means a 'route' or 'road,' and in Swedish it means 'square'. So, not quite so cool in those countries. | 102 |
| Cynthia Heimel | Never judge someone by who he's in love with; judge him by his friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at his pals. | 102 |
| Sheri Moon Zombie | I really fell in love with the art of making clothes when I was dancing on tour. Creating my stage image through clothes was a blast. I discovered a total sense for what cool chicks and rockin' dudes like to wear. Total Skull is for those people. People that like to rock - total rock. | 102 |
| Adela Florence Nicolson | I shall go the way of the open sea, to the lands I knew before you came, and the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me the memory of your name. | 102 |
| Jason Biggs | A girl came up to me in a bar and said she wanted to be my apple pie. I wish I'd said something cool, but I was stunned. | 102 |
| Jim Beaver | I thought being in the wheelchair might be kind of limiting for me as an actor. It turned out cool in a lot of ways. Of course, at the end of the day, I can get up out of the chair and go home, but I'm very acutely aware that most people can't, so I try to give the situation that depth. | 102 |
| Madeline Carroll | I think girls from a young age know what they want, and boys kind of have to keep up and catch up to them. Even in kindergarten, girls are pretty much the ones that like the boy first and the boys are like, 'Oh, I want to play with my trucks.' They think it's not cool. I think girls are definitely more ahead than boys. | 102 |
| Mitch Glazer | The thing that's really cool for me about Miami Beach is you have this dichotomy between sunlight and family and happiness and innocence and then at night, darker, stranger mob conspiracy stuff sort of comes out. It seems like a storytelling engine. You can just keep writing about how those two worlds smash into each other. | 102 |
| Joe Madureira | When I drew Captain America in 'The Ultimates,' I hated my Cap, even though some people are like, 'Man, your Cap's cool!' and they made statues out of it. | 102 |
| Judith Hill | Lauryn Hill's always been a hero of mine. And Bruno Mars, Janelle Monae and Adele, those are the current artists I would reference in terms of who's been able to do really amazing pop records with really cool, organic throwback elements of soul in there as well. | 102 |
| Justin Halpern | I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently. | 102 |
| Drake | Me and my dad are friends. We're cool. I'll never be disappointed again, because I don't expect anything anymore from him. I just let him exist, and that's how we get along. | 103 |
| Walt Whitman | Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes. | 103 |
| J. Cole | Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren't really about anything - which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things. | 103 |
| Andy Cohen | The Internet is for haters. Everyone wants to knock somebody down, but it's cool. | 103 |
| Big Boi | I'm just a cool type of guy who's all about positives. | 103 |
| Bonnie Raitt | I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool. | 103 |
| Chance The Rapper | When you're a Chicago artist, to play Lollapalooza, that's not a normal thing. It's artists on a path to a certain place that do that. Chief Keef did it; Kids These Days did it; Cool Kids did it. And I'm the next Cool-Kids-Chief, if you will. | 103 |
| Douglas Brinkley | Everybody trusted Cronkite because he reminded them of their favorite uncle or trusted family physician. Being square in the age of the Beatles made Cronkite retro cool. | 103 |
| Eddie Van Halen | Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool. | 103 |
| Freddie Prinze, Jr. | I was raised to believe in myself. I know I'm cool. I'm not trying to brag or say I'm the man or anything like that. I don't lie or cheat, and I'm not mean to anybody. I treat people with respect. | 103 |
| Greg Graffin | In the 1970s, we had Carl Sagan, and he was so suave with his turtleneck and his tweed jacket. And he was, you know, he made science look cool. And in punk rock, we haven't had that. We haven't had the Carl Sagan of punk. | 103 |
| Henrik Lundqvist | I love playing music, so I think the whole John Varvatos look is kind of cool. I think he has a great style. | 103 |
| Julia Butterfly Hill | We live in a world that tells us not to care, to consume everything in sight. It tells us that being cool and being an individual actually means buying what everyone else is buying and doing what everyone else is doing. | 103 |
| Kesha | I'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice. | 103 |
| Lou Gehrig | The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all. | 103 |
| Noah Feldman | Cyber attacks are not what makes the cool war 'cool.' As a strategic matter, they do not differ fundamentally from older tools of espionage and sabotage. | 103 |
| Norman Reedus | You can't not look cool with a crossbow. | 103 |
| Orlando Bloom | I'm trying to mix the cool, independent stuff with the big stuff, but it's been difficult finding the right roles. It's been an interesting ride as far as my career pendulum is concerned. | 103 |
| Tracy Morgan | I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider. All of them are predators. They are dangerous but it's cool to have strong and powerful pets. | 103 |
| Tucker Max | I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy. | 103 |
| Whoopi Goldberg | Sitting at the table during Color Purple and looking up and suddenly realizing I was acting in front of Steven Spielberg, was pretty cool. It was pretty good. | 103 |
| Brandon Routh | I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was. | 103 |
| Bradley Steven Perry | I know a lot of Disney Channel stars. I hang out with Debbie Ryan. Me and Ryan Newman hang out a lot, and I know a lot of them from 'Friends for Change' - we all meet from there. It's cool. Everybody is like family at Disney Channel. All the stars are so fun and nice, so it's really fun to hang out with them. | 103 |
| Britt Robertson | I remember the moment that I realized that I was going to get the opportunity to be in my dream role, and I said, 'I just don't think life gets any better!' You have to take that moment and expand it for as long as possible because it's such a cool feeling. | 103 |
| Chad Smith | Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy, just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum, kick drum, high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination. | 103 |
| Clive Owen | Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies. | 103 |
| Elena Kagan | It was a very cool thing to be a smart girl, as opposed to some other, different kind. And I think that made a great deal of difference to me growing up and in my life afterward. | 103 |
| Helen Garner | I suppose there must be idiots who dream of signing deals with publishers while fully intending to drink martinis in cool bars or ride around on skateboards. But the actual writers I know are experts in neurotic self-torture. Every page of writing is the result of a thousand tiny decisions and desperate acts of will. | 103 |
| Ieva Laguna | I like Victoria Beckham - she has really good taste. Also, Natasha Poly, Miranda Kerr, and Alessandra Ambrosio. They know how to dress effortlessly sexy, but still cool. | 103 |
| Keshia Knight Pulliam | I'd rather laugh - not fuss and fight. You can articulate your point without arguing. When you're arguing constantly, you just need to say, 'You're real cool, but you're not for me.' | 103 |
| Lee DeWyze | Doing charity work is always cool. It's always a good thing. | 103 |
| Nat Wolff | Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon. | 103 |
| Ndamukong Suh | I guess I'm a fun-loving teddy bear. I've got two sides to me. Obviously, there's the football side that a lot of people see - the mean, ferocious, coming-after-the-quarterback guy. But off the field, I'm a calm, cool, collected guy. | 103 |
| Niels Arden Oplev | It is cool to make a pilot because you get to do all the fun stuff, and then you get to leave when all the tough stuff starts. | 103 |
| Richard C. Armitage | A full beard looks cool. | 103 |
| Robert Pattinson | Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, 'Whoa, I'm so cool.' | 103 |
| Sebastian Stan | Sometimes it's okay to give yourself a pat on the back and say, 'That was cool. That made me feel good.' | 103 |
| Taylor Lautner | You show up in Paris, and on the drive from the airport to the hotel you're like, 'This is so cool! I want to see something! I want to go to the Eiffel Tower!' And then you leave the next morning. You think, Oh, I didn't get to do anything. I tell people: I've been just about everywhere, but I've seen nothing. | 103 |
| Will Cuppy | Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons. | 103 |
| Will Estes | But, on another level it's really sort of this really cool coming of age story, it reminds me of like The Breakfast Club or something like that, if I can be so bold to associate with The Breakfast Club. | 103 |
| Adam DeVine | I think making friends is not being afraid to look stupid, because everyone wants a friend who is willing to be stupid and fun. If you try and be too cool, it only works in high school. After that, being uncool is a very cool thing to do. So just have fun, and don't worry what other people think of you and people will want to be your friends. | 103 |
| Bill Kreutzmann | I saw a drummer play once when I was a kid and I thought, that's really cool. You know, you're moving. You're using your arms and fingers. So I tried it and I loved it. | 103 |
| David S. Goyer | Superman is not as innately cool as Batman. | 103 |
| Kaya Scodelario | It was really cool to work with Dakota Fanning. I've watched her grow up and I've always loved her films, loved her. It was amazing working with someone who was American as well, because obviously it's going to be a different energy straightaway. We got on really well; she's so professional and hardworking. | 103 |
| Kelsey Chow | I've always wanted to work with Sean Connery - there's something about his style, and his calm, cool demeanor that I find intriguing. | 103 |
| Kimbra | It's a really cool time for artists who want to strive for a little more depth in what they want to say to come forward. We live in a very fast world right now. We've got all this media and music which is so accessible to us, it's here one minute gone the next. | 103 |
| Mike Gordon | The worst thing I could be thinking is how could I be a cool bass player. | 103 |
| Rob Kardashian | I am working on a dress sock line of funky, colorful, cool designs. | 103 |
| Steven Moffat | I don't think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose. | 103 |
| Thomas Sangster | When I hit 16, I got a scooter to ride to school. It was bright pink, and I saw on the ownership papers that Jonathan Ross once owned it. My friends slated me for it because of the colour, but it was cool. My father used to ride, and my mother's boyfriend has a bike, so we're a bit of a biker family. | 103 |
| Tino Sehgal | As a culture or a civilisation, we are a bit juvenile; it's like 'Oh, I have all this power, whoa, this is so cool, I can transform the earth and I can produce all this wealth. But we're blinded by our success in a naive way. There's more to life, actually, and I think the sustainability issue is also helpful in reminding us about that. | 103 |
| William Henry Hudson | Now that we are cool, he said, and regret that we hurt each other, I am not sorry that it happened. | 103 |
| Claudio Reyna | I hear good things about Xbox Live from some of my younger teammates. I think it would be fun to be able to challenge fans all over the world. It would be cool to be able to play some of my friends back home in the States. I'm looking forward to trying it. | 103 |
| Gilles Marini | Bora Bora is peaceful and quiet, but fun, so full of cool activities and more; spiritual to the core, and you leave with fully recharged batteries. | 103 |
| John Ray | Good words cool more than cold water. | 103 |
| Paul Wesley | I've had cameos on some cool shows. | 103 |
| Adrianne Palicki | I was the kid growing up who would play with G.I. Joes in a pink dress and then run off to play with my Barbies. It doesn't mean that I'm less girly, it just means that I have this other side of me. It's kinda cool to be a little bit of both, I think. | 103 |
| Clyde Edgerton | Because we men have been physically stronger and more arrogant, we've influenced much of the cool stuff of the world, like basing the definition of courage on what we do on battlefields rather than on the patience or endurance or tolerance necessary for a sometimes painful daily grind that includes small children. | 103 |
| David Baldacci | The military is a very cool world to write about. I went down to Ft. Benning, Ga., for military training, and I learned a lot about soldiers and officers and why they joined up and what their life has been like. | 103 |
| Michelle Branch | I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips. | 103 |
| Mike Lowry | Well, we played with Soul Coughing once for like two days, that was pretty cool. I mean they were all good, you can pull a great experience from everything. | 103 |
| Renee Olstead | I want to speak up and tell you that mascara and clothes don't make you cool, neither do name-brand handbags, but being a leader can. | 103 |
| Rosanna Arquette | I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age. | 103 |
| Ross Lynch | As far as putting stuff on social media, I think Instagram is really cool because I like the visual aspect. You're taking pictures, and you can put a filter on them, and it's super creative. | 103 |
| Jessica Brown Findlay | My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning, cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks. | 103 |
| Minka Kelly | I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. | 103 |
| Miranda Otto | I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things. | 103 |
| Morgan Saylor | I think it's cool to get to know designers. There is some anxiety, maybe, that after you've met a designer, you want to be loyal to them and wear their clothes. And sometimes it's just not my style. But you have to be honest, and I don't really want to lie. | 103 |
| Shannyn Sossamon | But I'm trying not to be cynical - I don't want to be one of those people who has a cool opportunity and blows it. It's really amazing what's happening to me. | 103 |
| Anthea Turner | It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home. | 103 |
| James Marsden | It would be cool to be invisible, but I'm afraid of what people would say about me if they didn't know I was there. Some things are better left unknown. | 103 |
| Jase Robertson | I thought Clint Eastwood was cool in all the western movies, but I'm not gonna drive somewhere he's at and stand in line to see him. I told Missy, my wife, 'The only person I'd stand in line for is God Almighty. You made the universe? All right, I'll get in line!' | 103 |
| Spider Robinson | Now that I finally have the time for it, this web surfing stuff turns out to be as interesting and fun and addictive as you've all been telling me. Zipping from link to link, chasing an idea across the noosphere, sucking up information like a killer whale - way cool. | 103 |
| Jessica Alba | You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes. | 103 |
| Alexander Lowen | We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling. | 103 |
| Kurt Cobain | Rather be dead than cool. | 104 |
| Langston Hughes | Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. | 104 |
| Ben Stiller | My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment. | 104 |
| Gerard Way | Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about. | 104 |
| Kehlani | If my eyebrows are cool, if my eyeliner is popping, if I'm moisturized, then I can pretty much wear whatever I want. I think if your hair and your face are together, I think it's pretty much polished! | 104 |
| Kevin McCloud | I'm not too fond of really cool design. I've got quite kitsch taste really, in things like tableware. I'm quite a sucker for 1930s pressed glass. | 104 |
| Lizzy Caplan | Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all... . Everybody really, really likes everybody else. | 104 |
| Martin Lawrence | You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values. | 104 |
| Matthew McConaughey | There aren't many things that are universally cool, and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it. | 104 |
| Nate Ruess | I think it's really cool, but Jimmy Eat World and Gin Blossoms did it better than anyone. People don't realize just how awesome the Arizona history is, especially for alternative music. Growing up, that's all I ever wanted to be was those two bands. | 104 |
| Q-Tip | I definitely move to the beat of my own drummer and man, he's not playing something anyone has heard before. It's pretty cool, though. Pretty cool. | 104 |
| Raina Telgemeier | When I was doing 'Smile,' I was looking back at pictures of myself and going, 'Thank goodness I couldn't do the sprayed-bangs thing! Everybody's so embarrassed by that hairstyle now, but I was never cool enough to pull it off!' | 104 |
| Ruby Rose | I experimented with fashion as it being more like art, allowing what I wore to express what I was feeling on the inside. Androgyny, rock culture, and grunge - they definitely had an effect on the things that made me feel cool and comfortable. | 104 |
| Tony Dungy | People look at me and see a calm, cool guy on the sidelines and I want them to know that my Christian faith affects my coaching and everything I do. | 104 |
| David R. Brower | All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take, by the year 2000, all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors. | 104 |
| David Walton | I love being around cool, fun guys, so I've always enjoyed talking to gay men. Maybe it's because I'm an inherent flirt, but it just feels very natural. | 104 |
| Fred Schneider | You know, Southerners are pretty cool. | 104 |
| Jim Jarmusch | Cricket makes no sense to me. I find it beautiful to watch and I like that they break for tea. That is very cool, but I don't understand. My friends from The Clash tried to explain it years and years ago, but I didn't understand what they were talking about. | 104 |
| Laura Prepon | I never think of myself as any kind of sex symbol, but I get letters from all over, all sorts. It's really cool. I get a lot from inmates, which is kind of scary. But the best was the guy who wanted to send me a plane ticket to fly me to his prom. | 104 |
| Maisie Williams | If you've got cool nails, you wake up and you're like, 'Oh, I'm happy now.' | 104 |
| Meg White | It's cool to meet your idols. It's a good opportunity to travel. Those kinds of things are good. | 104 |
| Rashida Jones | My parents are the coolest of the cool on every single level, and it's because they have a deep appreciation for every moment of their lives. | 104 |
| Reem Acra | How cool it is to see a bride walking down the aisle with a beautiful long gown with beautiful layers of tulle and organza, unveiling their mini dress at the party? | 104 |
| Steve Jones | I couldn't care less about what people think of me! I do what I do, and I don't care about what other people think is cool. I don't care about image! | 104 |
| Seann William Scott | And getting stunt coordinator Dan Bradley and everybody from the whole 'Bourne Supremacy' crew, I think was real cool for our film because we do a bunch of really big jumps in this movie. | 104 |
| Taylor Lautner | I'm not the biggest motorcycle fan - they're cool and a lot of fun, but they're scary as well! | 104 |
| Will Wright | In an online community, there's this kind of social economy between the community members. Some people have status because they make cool skins or that's a good website that's visited a lot, but there's no real gameplay there. | 104 |
| Wilt Chamberlain | With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying. | 104 |
| Andrew Lincoln | Atlanta is an incredibly cool city. | 104 |
| Buzz Osborne | I don't want to stay underground for just the cool people. | 104 |
| Charles Soule | I make no secret of the fact that writing She-Hulk can serve as an opportunity for me to sneak in some really cool characters that I personally love. Some will be obvious fits, but others will come out of left field - but that's what's fun about the Marvel U - the bench is deep. | 104 |
| Chris Benz | There is a lack of humor in fashion. To me, it's always been the fun, cool industry to work in, and I always wanted people to be on my side and see how much fun we really have behind the scenes. | 104 |
| Dylan McDermott | My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip, cool, anything-goes atmosphere back then, but looking good was still a priority. | 104 |
| Ed Helms | My friend and I sang an a cappella rendition of Extreme's 'More Than Words' at one of our football pep rallies in a desperate attempt to look cool. For a while, I wore pink Converse All Stars because I thought it made me seem daring and irreverent. | 104 |
| Gerard De Nerval | When the soul drifts uncertainly between life and the dream, between the mind's disorder and the return to cool reflection, it is in religious thought that we should seek consolation. | 104 |
| Jonathan Davis | It's really cool to see glowsticks at the show, to see dance music culture infiltrating and becoming one with the metal community. | 104 |
| Mayer Hawthorne | I really love rap music. I grew up in the '80s and '90s with Public Enemy, N.W.A., LL Cool J - I'm a hip-hop encyclopedia. But I got kind of frustrated with the chauvinistic side of rap music, the one that makes it hard to write songs about love and relationships. | 104 |
| Peabo Bryson | I think you create your own hipness. | 104 |
| Richie Sambora | Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia, which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing. | 104 |
| Soulja Boy | I hate it when people come up to me on trains and ask 'Are you Soulja Boy?' If people want pictures or autographs, that's cool, but I don't like the dumb questions. | 104 |
| Stephen Chbosky | When you think back to your first kiss, your hair is perfect and she was wearing a cool outfit. We remember it with restraint and we remember it with style. We remember it as idealistically as you can think. | 104 |
| Alessandra Ambrosio | In the summer I wear shorts with a bright top and ankle boots or just sandals. I'll add a nice scarf, maybe a hat, some cool sunglasses. It's all about the accessories. | 104 |
| Gotye | I have this desire to just while away weeks, months and years. It took me two years to make this record but that was with me trying to condense my process and not disappear down the rabbit hole with all the cool things I've collected. I could take 10 years and not explore everything I want to with these instruments. | 104 |
| Mark Hoppus | I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support. | 104 |
| Michael Schur | I think if you're too concerned with being cool or hip or liked, you can't really make good TV because sincerity and coolness are opposites. | 104 |
| Tommy Bond | I noticed that this defense attorney is a very, very intelligent man, and he's very cool and he's very knowledgeable, and I think that personally I'd like to have an attorney like him. | 104 |
| Craig Roberts | The 'Being Human' people were really cool and let me improvise. They had such a good working atmosphere. It was a cool set-up and a really good environment to be in. | 104 |
| Douglas Kirkland | Growing up in a cold place, in Southern Ontario, Woolrich was a brand of choice for us because it was always warm and comfortable. The parka with the fur on it was standard fare for us. It's extraordinary that they have kept up with the times. Beyond the parka, they have changed, and they have some pretty hip, cool items which I wear. | 104 |
| Emily Kinney | It's definitely one of those things when you decide to be an actor that it would be really cool to be in a Broadway show or a series regular on a hit show. | 104 |
| Jermain Defoe | I don't go out drinking and stuff like that. My friends say 'Just have one drink, JD.' I say 'What's the point?' I'll go to a club and have a Red Bull, get my buzz. And the next day I feel cool. It's discipline, not just with drinking but a lot of things in life. You've just got to look at the bigger picture. | 104 |
| Ruzwana Bashir | What you do on travel holiday is what your memories are based on. People want to do cool stuff, and this is what will shape your entire experience. | 104 |
| Sung Kang | When I started acting, I hoped I could make some kind of positive contribution to this world. When I get a letter from some kid in Nebraska saying that, prior to Han, nobody wanted to be his friend because Asians weren't cool if they weren't into martial arts - Now he's accepted and recognized as a human being. That's pretty awesome, right? | 104 |
| Al Stewart | Looking so cool, his greed is hard to conceal, he's fresh out of law school, you gave him a license to steal. | 104 |
| Jessica Pare | My natural gravitation is toward the gray and the black and the white and the burgundy. Sort of muted, cool colors. | 104 |
| Ma Huateng | At Tencent, we may be businessmen, but we are still chasing our IT, our science. We are still striving to create something really cool, trying to create things we couldn't even imagine without our new technologies. I am still clinging to this enthusiasm. | 104 |
| Michael B. Jordan | L.A. is cool. If I could have the rest of my family out there, I think it would make it that much better for me. As far as work and the weather, you can't really beat it. I just wish they had the New York social life out there. That would make it perfect. | 104 |
| Aly Michalka | I love HBO and Showtime, especially Showtime. I'm a huge 'Dexter' fan, and I love 'Weeds.' That would be cool to do a recurring role on a show like that. | 104 |
| James Purefoy | Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really. | 104 |
| Jennifer Damiano | Female artists I love the most are Fiona Apple, Paramour and Regina Spektor - those girls that really write amazing songs themselves, and they're younger and cool. I'm not quite sure I could ever write songs like any of them, but if I could, I would. | 104 |
| Jhonen Vasquez | It's cool that people like what I do, but I don't work for the audience. | 104 |
| Jim Coleman | I don't think I really know just how cool Satan really was when I was in Junior High School. Now, thanks to Marilyn Manson, it's no longer a secret. | 104 |
| Mike Trout | I think people keep baseballs in their cars, just to be prepared in case they see me. It's cool to get recognized in public; it's an incredible feeling. | 104 |
| Robin Chase | One reason Zipcar succeeded was its branding: cool, hip, smart, urban, fun, innovative. Who wouldn't want to be associated with that? | 104 |
| Ron Atkinson | I think that was a moment of cool panic there. | 104 |
| Jessica Lowndes | My mom is my best friend in the entire world. She is so cool and so inspiring. I've always been able to be open with her and talk to her as a friend. | 104 |
| Maggie Lawson | William Shatner just reeks of cool. | 104 |
| Frank Ocean | It's cool to be recognised by your peers. | 105 |
| Mitch Hedberg | Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool Opotamus? | 105 |
| Andre Benjamin | Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh, but the way they carry themselves, how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it, that's what makes it cool. | 105 |
| Anthony Kiedis | Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet. | 105 |
| Atul Gawande | I write because it's my way of finding cool ideas, thinking through hard problems and things I don't understand, and getting better at something. | 105 |
| Celine Dion | I was not a good-lookin' girl. I was extremely skinny. I wasn't pretty. I wasn't cool. | 105 |
| Erykah Badu | I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that's cool. Let's look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand. | 105 |
| Frances Farmer | I used to lie between cool, clean sheets at night after I'd had a bath, after I had washed my hair and scrubbed my knuckles and finger-nails and teeth. Then I could lie quite still in the dark with my face to the window with the trees in it, and talk to God. | 105 |
| French Montana | Whatever rappers wear is cool to people. | 105 |
| Jeff Bridges | I have a cycle that is not particularly cool, but it's a cycle: trash myself to reward myself. | 105 |
| Kyle Chandler | Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier. | 105 |
| Lil' Kim | But this is Miami, you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat, you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool. | 105 |
| Lindsey Stirling | I started making music that I loved and was passionate and excited about, but it was really cool when I started touring to realize it's an extremely diverse group of people who come out. In the front row, I'll have everyone from a little girl in a frilly tutu, to rockers and gamers and older couples. I love it that it's just everybody. | 105 |
| Natalie Dormer | Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there's time. | 105 |
| Orlando Bloom | I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept. | 105 |
| Paul Feig | I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies, because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex, and all the popular kids, and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons, with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately. | 105 |
| Paul Giamatti | Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear. | 105 |
| Stella Young | The battle to find a workplace that's wheelchair accessible is a feat in itself, let alone an employer who's going to be cool about employing someone with a disability in a job you actually want to do. | 105 |
| Stephen Colbert | I used to make up stuff in my bio all the time, that I used to be a professional ice-skater and stuff like that. I found it so inspirational. Why not make myself cooler than I am? | 105 |
| Terry Bradshaw | When Brian told me he grew up in New Mexico, I told him I thought it is cool that people from other countries play football. He corrected me on my geography and agreed to sit down with me anyway. | 105 |
| Trey Songz | The thing that is cool about my come up is that I dealt with fame and having money gradually. It didn't happen overnight. It was something that took a while to happen. It was something that humbled me and made me very appreciative of my blessings more than I would have been if it had happened faster and easier. | 105 |
| Victor Garber | We, some cast members and I, even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn, because we enjoy each other's company so much, and it was so cool. | 105 |
| Britt Robertson | 'Tomorrowland' is very much the dream role for me. I've always wanted to do a movie like this. Movies like this aren't made anymore, and it's so cool that I get to be a part of it. I get to do something new and crazy every day, and my character goes through so many different things. I get to do all of it. It's awesome. | 105 |
| Dakota Fanning | It was really really neat to make the movie because there were mentally challenged actors in the movie. So that was really really cool to work with them and they were always really happy, and they made everybody really happy on the set too. | 105 |
| Diplo | If kids can have some sort of social responsibility, that's cool. But if they're not actually having social responsibility, and they're kind of hiding behind it, that's kind of useless, or even worse. | 105 |
| Keith Stanfield | That was like my safe place with great teachers where everyone could let down their guard and not feel judged. As soon as we walk outside, it was like, 'Look at these weird drama club kids.' But we all had our own agreement that we were cool in our own way. | 105 |
| Trisha Yearwood | It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad. | 105 |
| John Cusack | I remember once acting really cool on a bus with this girl named Stephanie. When I got home, I realized that I had a really big zit on my forehead. If you have acne problems, you really shouldn't be acting like Don Juan. I should have been contrite - and apologized for exposing her to the angry pimple. | 105 |
| Matt Smith | As a kid, I knew all of the dinosaurs. It's one of those tragedies that I've forgotten what dinosaurs are cool. | 105 |
| Penn Badgley | When you come to L.A. as a kid with your mom, you're lured into doing things that you think are cool and fun and a good idea, but they're cheesy and awful. And recording a pop single was one of them. | 105 |
| Ruth Ozeki | Maybe all teenagers feel like they don't fit in. I never felt like a cool kid. I remember being bullied for being Asian. | 105 |
| Saul Williams | Hip-hop is still cool at a party. But to me, hip-hop has never been strictly a party; it is also there to elevate consciousness. | 105 |
| Tony Shalhoub | You're not really necessarily the coolest guy in their life. You are a conduit to the really cool people. | 105 |
| Will Champion | Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool. | 105 |
| Jessica Biel | I had my bad-boy moment in my teens. I'll never do that again. It wasn't pleasant, and I learned my lesson. It was sexy and mysterious, and it's like, 'Look how cool they are,' but it's just not worth it. He was lying to me and accusing me of cheating - but then I realized he was the one cheating. | 105 |
| Leigh Lezark | Barcelona is one of my favourite cities in the world. The fashion and people are just so effortlessly cool. | 105 |
| Paul Wesley | I wasn't some weird loner in school, but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties. | 105 |
| Sasha Pieterse | Being in L.A., it was really hard to find a country writer and producer. I eventually - years of searching - found this guy, Dan Franklin. He's an incredible musician and producer. We write so well together... It's been a really cool experience. | 105 |
| Stephen Malkmus | I like that band Get Hustle. They're cool live. I haven't heard their records, though. | 105 |
| Adam Brody | I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff - kissing - is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan. | 105 |
| Adam Garcia | If I could have anyone on speed dial it would be George Clooney. He seems like a cool guy who would give good advice. | 105 |
| Craig Roberts | I'd love to pop back into 'Being Human' as Adam. I love the character so much. I've never really played a character like that. I'm always playing the geek, so to play a kid who is very energetic when he wants to be, and who is always trying to get the girls, was really cool. | 105 |
| Jenna Fischer | Sometimes acting is really cool because it forces you to exercise certain muscles in your personality that you wouldn't normally be called upon in life. | 105 |
| Judah Friedlander | Tina Fey is really cool. She's so mellow and laid back. | 105 |
| Magnus Scheving | You think aerobics is not a cool sport? I think you are wrong. It requires amazing discipline - flexibility, fitness, knowledge. And you have to do it with a big smile on your face. Also, I once performed in front of 10,000 screaming women. I tell you something, I'd rather do that than kick a ball around in front of a few men. | 105 |
| Max Levchin | If you can work a brand successfully into the narrative of your product, then it's really cool. Then people actually take the brand up and say, 'My positive experience in your product is directly connected and influenced by this brand and that worked great.' | 105 |
| Shantel VanSanten | Being on a television show and having so many fans is something that I've never experienced before, and it's really neat when they come up to you and are like, 'That storyline is amazing and really spoke to me in my life,' and it's really cool. I really enjoy it. | 105 |
| Ashley Bell | My dad had such a cool job. When you're a voiceover actor, it's a whole different skill - you're bringing these huge, larger-than-life monsters and characters to life. And, also, you have to learn accents. | 105 |
| Brittany Daniel | Comedy is so hard to do, so it was very cool to do dead pan humor. | 105 |
| Jennifer Damiano | I was feeling like a real misfit in middle school, but when I saw 'Wicked,' it made me feel really cool for being different... and you can carve that in stone! | 105 |
| Jeremy Sisto | When you have kids, you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone. You just think they are so cool and want to be around them all the time, but what if she starts being embarrassed and only giving me charity visits? I want her to actually want to see me, so that's what I'm going for! | 105 |
| Jerry Doyle | I used to skip out of high school and go flying. It was just one of those things, I thought it was kind of a cool thing to do. I never thought about doing that as a profession, but I started checking things out and I found out there was a flight school down in Daytona Beach, called Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. | 105 |
| Joan Allen | Almost any film that you do is an opportunity to open you up and make you more aware of an area that you might not be thinking about. That's what is kind of cool, or one of the cool things about this profession. | 105 |
| Joyce Meyer | It's so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy. Losing your cool makes you tired. Getting angry a lot messes with your health. | 106 |
| Barbara Kruger | Prominence is cool, but when the delusion kicks in it can be a drag. Especially if you choose to surround yourself with friends and not acolytes. | 106 |
| Ciara | I think it's really cool to embrace the pain of something that may have hurt you and be able to express it through music. | 106 |
| Gerard Way | I want to be a vampire. They're the coolest monsters. | 106 |
| Hulk Hogan | All of a sudden, Hulk Hogan has become retro. Hulk Hogan has become cool again. So to come out and to hear how loud the fans are. To hear how loyal the fans are, it's truly overwhelming. I just can't believe I've been reborn in the WWE. | 106 |
| Kelly Clarkson | I'm cute - and God I hate that. Because that's not cool. I'm like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It's the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I'm an everyday, normal girl. | 106 |
| Kevin Durant | I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I've been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage. | 106 |
| Kurt Angle | The cool thing about pro wrestling is we do a lot more acting as far as characters in general than MMA. I know a lot of people like the MMA fighters because they like the rugged look. | 106 |
| Lena Dunham | My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.' | 106 |
| Lewis Thomas | Survival, in the cool economics of biology, means simply the persistence of one's own genes in the generations to follow. | 106 |
| Liv Tyler | Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy. | 106 |
| Marjane Satrapi | When you make a book or you make a movie, it is almost like hitting on somebody. It's not because you want to seduce people that you will seduce them; you can hit on somebody and it doesn't work. But when you hit on them and it works, then it's really cool. | 106 |
| Neil Young | It's cool to go places where working people are happy. | 106 |
| Tina Fey | Most of the time you're too busy to think about it. But every now and then you say, 'I work at 'Saturday Night Live,' and that is so cool. | 106 |
| Tom Felton | I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn't beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy. You have to bear in mind that 'Harry Potter' wasn't cool. I wasn't part of the 'Terminator' franchise. | 106 |
| Trent Reznor | When your culture comes from watching TV every day, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities. None of that happened where I was. You're almost taught to realize it's not for you. | 106 |
| Vanessa Hudgens | The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive. | 106 |
| Victoria Justice | Someone once told me that something they really liked about me was that they thought that I was really down to earth and not high-maintenance. I think that was cool. It's important to stay grounded. | 106 |
| Chris D'Elia | I would never say that I'm good at being on dates. I think I like to try to find a connection with somebody, like, that's my main thing. I think that maybe if you find a connection with a girl on a date, that's like the No. 1 thing, and then it's like, 'Cool, that was a great date.' | 106 |
| Chloe Sevigny | It's hard to encapsulate my inspiration because there are so many different looks, but I think it's just like, sexy girl you see walking down the street in a cool outfit. A lot of eyelet, a lot of leather, playing with the hard and the soft, the good and bad inside of us all. | 106 |
| Cobie Smulders | There's something cool about traveling when you're young. There's a sense of camaraderie. You learn more about yourself. | 106 |
| Gina Prince-Bythewood | The thing is I write to music, so every script I have has its own playlist. Music just opens me up to the emotions that I'm writing. It's just a pretty cool thing. | 106 |
| Hayley Hasselhoff | The plus size movement is not just about fashion; it's about body image, and if we're doing a shoot, they won't retouch us at all. That's the cool thing: there's no retouching at all because we want to give girls the truth, not a fabrication. | 106 |
| Josh Dun | It doesn't sound that cool to say it, but I still get nervous for any show. But it's different degrees - playing a small basement of a club versus playing a festival like Firefly or Bonnaroo. The feeling is, 'Crap, I'm about to be blasted in the face,' and once you get started, then it's like, 'OK, I've done this before. I know what I'm doing.' | 106 |
| Laura Marano | Inspire your children. I promise, your kids will think you're cool if you do this. They may not tell you that now, but they'll thank you later in life. | 106 |
| Mark Zupan | I met Evan Rachel Wood, James Woods, Kevin Bacon at Sundance. Steve Buscemi is pretty laid-back. I met Judy Greer in Vegas, and she was cool. | 106 |
| Natasha Henstridge | The nude scenes were a little eerie and I felt a bit odd. Yeah, when the camera scanned up my body, I said to my friend, 'Now, that's a close-up.' I mean, you see every inch of my body. But I'm okay with it and so it was cool. | 106 |
| Pat Benatar | If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens. | 106 |
| Patrick Rothfuss | When you're 14, anything with a sword and a dragon is pretty cool. But when you're 21 and you've read 2,000 fantasy novels, you start to realize that some of those books, well, they weren't really good. OK, let's be honest. A lot of them were crap. | 106 |
| R. A. Salvatore | I don't know how many bestsellers I've got, or half the awards I've won, and I don't really care. I'm just having fun, doing something I love and getting paid for it. How cool is that? | 106 |
| Rashida Jones | I'm friends with a lot of my exes, but it took time. We didn't just get into it. I don't think you can be friends until you're cool with them dating someone else. That's when you know. | 106 |
| Alison Brie | I think Twitter is such a cool thing because it really is a direct line to the fans and for fans back to you, and it's such a new thing. I think in the past there's been usually fan mail and that's really good, but Twitter, it gets an immediate response. | 106 |
| Bill Callahan | I knew absolutely nothing about recording. I had this four-track recorder, and I'd plug my electric guitar right into it, which sounded real bad. I moved any fader that made a drastic change in sound. I thought that was cool - that it was communicating something. I didn't have the skills to do anything subtle. It was just like screaming. | 106 |
| Colin Angle | The reason it has taken so long for the robotics industry to move forward is because people keep trying to make something that is cool but difficult to achieve rather than trying to find solutions to actual human problems. Technology can be extremely expensive if you don't focus. | 106 |
| Darren Criss | The cool thing about music is no one can take music away from you, writing wise. | 106 |
| James Gray | It's difficult because Manhattan is so fantastic, and it's 9 miles away, and all these cool rich people live there and have great lives, and you live in a semi-attached row house in Queens. | 106 |
| Lucy Liu | Men, when they fight in movies, it's a very different style. Harrison Ford was so cool when he had the whip, and Bruce Lee was such an artist that you couldn't take your eyes off of him. | 106 |
| Mark Spitz | I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win. | 106 |
| Rahul Dravid | Unwanted honking not only irritates others, but may also end up causing accidents. Drivers lose cool and it may result in road rage. | 106 |
| Sania Mirza | On the tennis court, one needs a cool temperament, tremendous ball sense, reflexes, speed, hand-eye co-ordination, power, timing and peak physical fitness. Off the court, the player and support team need skills in planning, execution, travel, an ability to raise funds when needed, and several other talents. | 106 |
| Alice Englert | Being in love is not cool! | 106 |
| Amanda Palmer | The world needs actual excitement and emotion more than it needs cool people. | 106 |
| Barry Zito | Everyone focuses on the earthly state, but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth, and I can't wait to experience that. | 106 |
| Charlie Hunter | If we really wanted to be cool, and everyone in the world had Pro Tools, we could just put it up on the internet and everyone could make their own record out of it. | 106 |
| Christian Serratos | I'd love to play someone who's insane or something, just so I can go flake out. I like a superhero. I know that's ironic. That's where we are, but seriously, it'd be really cool to play a superhero. | 106 |
| Drew Bledsoe | You want hot days to get your fruit ripe but then you want it to cool off nicely at night so that the grapes stay on the vine longer and develop complexity. | 106 |
| Joseph Gordon-Levitt | I would like to do a musical, if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play. | 106 |
| Marc Newson | Yeah, my dream would be to work for 6 months and then have 6 months to play, just snowboarding, surfing, and going to cool places to listen and be alone and kinda chill out. | 106 |
| Ryan Tedder | The cool thing about writing music, writing anything, is that once you publish it, it's there forever. | 106 |
| Teri Polo | I love New York. I was in New York at the age of 13, at the School of American Ballet, walking around the subways in my little bunhead and thinking I was so cool. | 106 |
| Ben Nicholas | If I could work with any actor it would have to be Johnny Depp. He is cool. | 106 |
| Blake Anderson | I think what's cool about Slayer is no matter how old their albums are, it's the one band to me that their sound is immortal. It never sounds corny to me. You can go back and listen to some Pantera and Metallica albums, and you're like, 'OK, great music.' But Slayer, you go back, and they always sound fresh and hard as hell. | 106 |
| Devon Werkheiser | Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life. | 106 |
| Randy Johnson | I would think flying would be pretty cool. You would be able to fly away from all your enemies and get where you're going much faster. But being invisible? You probably wouldn't use that for the good of man. | 106 |
| Dexter Holland | If you go back to 'Pretty Fly,' it was a very popish song, but there was a satirical side to it, and I think that's cool. I like the idea that it's making people think just a little bit. | 106 |
| Mac Davis | If it was just me and Elvis one on one, which only happened once or twice in the times that I did see him, it was a really comfortable. He was a cool guy. Easy laugh, nice guy. | 106 |
| Michael Irvin | We looked at each other standing on the podium, and I think we all were tearing up. But we had to keep it cool. I think we did. Then we let out a breath. | 106 |
| Aimee Teegarden | In general I like a guy who is athletic, somebody who can teach me something. Whether it's teaching me a new way to cut on a wave or teach me a three-point conversion or teach me how to dribble a soccer ball. There's something really cool about that. | 106 |
| Jeremy London | I don't need to hang out in a posse and try to act cool. | 106 |
| Rupert Brooke | The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss of blankets. | 106 |
| Jason Mewes | I'm more into the Spawn toys. They're really cool. They're coming out with a Techno Spawn series and another series, The Dark Ages, which are really cool. | 106 |
| Jon Hamm | Acting is sort of an extension of childhood. You get to play all of these roles and have so much fun. Playing an athlete would be so cool. Or where you get to shoot guns, ride horses. I wouldn't turn down any of that. | 106 |
| Jerry Doyle | I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool. | 106 |
| Channing Tatum | I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It's just, will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends, or just relax? I don't know if it's best to say opening up, but just relax and really say what you're actually thinking, and not what you think people want to hear. | 107 |
| Chris Jericho | Think about it - pro wrestling as an Olympic sport would be pretty cool. Look at figure skating or gymnastics - what is it? It's a choreographed performance that is judged. | 107 |
| Evan Spiegel | Traditional social media, in the view of our company, has become a bit repetitive. It doesn't feel very good to be marketed to by your friends. Snapchat is different because it says, look, friends aren't valuable to you just because they can get you into a cool party. | 107 |
| Franka Potente | I think working with Johnny Depp was very intimidating. It was my fault though. I mean he's a total cool nice, nice guy, but I was just so, I don't know, overpowered by his presence. Like he's a very mystic person. He's older so I never really warmed up around him. I was so stiff. | 107 |
| George Saunders | The cool parts - the parts that have won Dubai its reputation as 'the Vegas of the Middle East' or 'the Venice of the Middle East' or 'the Disney World of the Middle East, if Disney World were the size of San Francisco and out in a desert' - have been built in the last ten years. | 107 |
| Issa Rae | Black and awkward is the worst, because black people are stereotyped as being anything but awkward in mainstream media... Black people are always portrayed to be cool or overly dramatic, anything but awkward. | 107 |
| John Hughes | I always preferred to hang out with the outcasts, 'cause they were cooler; they had better taste in music, for one thing, I guess because they had more time to develop one with the lack of social interaction they had! | 107 |
| Kehlani | I was in art school, and we had all these random classes. We'd listen to a lot of Bollywood. I'd listen to Spanish music - and I don't even speak Spanish, but Hector Lavoe is amazing - we listened to French music like Edith Piaf. She's tight. I like cool vocal inflections; I like cool sounds. I pretty much listen to anything I think is good. | 107 |
| Luke Bryan | It's pretty cool to see how far music can take you. | 107 |
| Michael Phelps | I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history. | 107 |
| Missy Elliott | I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us, and music is all we've really got. | 107 |
| Nora Ephron | Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be. | 107 |
| Wentworth Miller | My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV. | 107 |
| William H. Macy | Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good. | 107 |
| Augusten Burroughs | When people meet me, many times they're very surprised because they expect someone who is kind of wacky with seven piercings and very hip and cool and New York City, and I'm not. | 107 |
| Bridgit Mendler | I did this one scene in an episode of 'General Hospital', and that was my first job down in L.A. It was, like, my second audition, and I was like, 'Woo! This is easy! This is fun!' That was a really cool moment for me. | 107 |
| Emilio Estevez | If only media people would stop reaching for the low-hanging fruit, which is cynicism and pessimism, and stopped trying so hard to be hip and cool and have a swagger. | 107 |
| Esperanza Spalding | I love people, and I love to be with people and to make music with people, but my natural state is to revert back to being by myself in my house, which is cool because that's where I practice and write and listen and study. | 107 |
| Josh Dun | After talking to people and meeting them every day, I realize that a song can be written from one perspective with an objective in mind. What is crazy about it is that many different people can take one song a totally different way. That is so cool, since music is a universal thing and a very personal thing. | 107 |
| Kimora Lee Simmons | I'm a girl's girl. I'm a woman's woman. I'm a cool girl. | 107 |
| Maria Sharapova | I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room. | 107 |
| Michael Dell | I've been fascinated with technology since I was a boy banging around on my father's adding machine. Back then I'd type in an equation, the device made some cool noises, and out came my answer. I was hooked. | 107 |
| Tinashe | The only thing that's better in a group versus being by yourself is the companionship. You have to do a lot of thing by yourself as a solo artist. But it's cool. It's worth it. | 107 |
| William Kamkwamba | One thing that has helped me to become patient and cool is that I grew up with sisters. | 107 |
| Adam DeVine | The thing that I think a lot of guys need to know how to do is not take your mother's advice about honesty being the best policy. Listen to your cool, drunk uncle who tells you to lie. Those are the relationships that last. | 107 |
| David Mixner | My family lived off the land and summer evening meals featured baked stuffed tomatoes, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh shelled peas and homemade ice cream with strawberries from our garden. With no air conditioning in those days, the cool porch was the center of our universe after the scorching days. | 107 |
| Max Cannon | The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone, we make snap judgments about them, about who they are and why we wouldn't necessarily sit with them or why we would or what's cool or not cool. | 107 |
| Peter Criss | Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you. | 107 |
| William Kempe | I used to do this as a kid. And now they're paying me for it, which is cool. | 107 |
| Birdy | I got a phone call from Fearne Cotton. It was amazing! I literally couldn't believe it. It was so cool. It was the night before I was going on her show to sing on the 'Live Lounge.' She was so lovely. | 107 |
| David Archuleta | I want to figure out what kind of artist I want to be, because with the 'American Idol' process, it just works really fast. The night of the finale, they said, 'OK, here are all the label people that you're gonna work with, this is the album you're gonna make and blah, blah, blah.' So it was a pretty fast process, but it's been cool. | 107 |
| James Gleick | I think we are always right to worry about damaging consequences of new technologies even as we are empowered by them. History suggests we should not panic nor be too sanguine about cool new gizmos. There's a delicate balance. | 107 |
| Bill Hybels | Thirty years ago, we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews. | 107 |
| Corbin Bleu | Everyone is different, but I'm not standoffish at all. I'm not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I'll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer's no, I'm totally cool with it. | 107 |
| Jessica Szohr | The sexiest thing about style is if you kind of just take your personality and put it in what you wear. That's what I think is cool. | 107 |
| Jimmy Kimmel | The truth is, we have this idea that late night is about creativity and being cool, but that's not our job. Our job is to get as many people watching the commercials in between our show. That's the reality of it. | 107 |
| China Anne McClain | Once 'A.N.T. Farm' started, I was inspired by Chyna to jazz up my style. Now I paint my nails bright, fun colors and add a bunch of accessories and some cool shoes to jeans and a T-shirt. | 107 |
| Jenna Elfman | There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing. | 107 |
| Josie Maran | Having your own character in a video game is pretty cool. | 107 |
| Snoop Dogg | What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad, it's cool, it's fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night, we're just hanging out, having a good time. | 108 |
| Aaliyah | I know that people think I'm sexy and I am looked at as that. It is cool with me. It's wonderful to have sexy appeal. If you embrace it, it can be a very beautiful thing. | 108 |
| Agnes Martin | The Minimalists are idealist. They want to minimize themselves in favor of the ideal... But I just can't. You see, my paintings are not cool. | 108 |
| Celine Dion | I've never been cool - and I don't care. | 108 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | And we have a little herb garden, which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool, old Italian housewife, that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter. | 108 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | These days it's cool to be ethnic and to be different, but when I was a kid, it was not cool - at all. My friends would come over and my mom would make crepes with eggs, stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and spinach. And they'd be like, 'What is this?' | 108 |
| Heidi Klum | When I was younger, I had a perm, and it was really big. My mom was a hairdresser, so even my dad had a perm! I looked like a poodle, but it was cool at the time. | 108 |
| Lenny Kravitz | People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it. | 108 |
| Nicole Scherzinger | I'm way better in person than I am on things like Twitter. I know Twitter is the best and fastest way to connect with fans who really appreciate you but I'm still not cool with it - although I am trying! I try my best but I'm a one-on-one person and I don't want to tell people I'm on the toilet or I just brushed my teeth. | 108 |
| Olivia Holt | I think that it's really incredible, growing up and being able to have all these people who really look up to the work that I do. It's really cool that I have such awesome fans, and I can't thank them enough. I get on my Twitter and Facebook every day, and I see such awesome things. | 108 |
| Oscar Isaac | 'Cool' is detached and emotionally cool. My instinct is to battle anything that seems overly cool. | 108 |
| Tom DeLonge | It's actually cool to be positive and optimistic and idealistic. It's cool to see yourself doing beautiful, great things. | 108 |
| Zayn Malik | I am a bit of a bad boy. I have tattoos and I mess around. That's part of my image, so it's cool. | 108 |
| Bryan White | I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market. | 108 |
| Cory Monteith | If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks, it's not the end of the world. It's cool, it's fun, it's exciting. | 108 |
| Gwen Stefani | If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too. | 108 |
| Harry Shum, Jr. | Obviously anything that accessorizes or enhances the iPhone is always pretty cool. | 108 |
| Hayden Christensen | I love my mother Ali so much. I'm a momma's boy. I just have a very cool mom. It's not as though I had any say in the matter. I'm just really fortunate. She's the most kind, loving, giving woman. | 108 |
| Heather Morris | You don't want to be too cool. But you don't want to be too dorky. Still, I find it so much better to see a guy at a club being a dork, and having fun, than trying to be sexy. | 108 |
| Johnny Weir | I suppose being fierce is a very good thing, and a very cool thing. But more than fierce, I think I'm a strong person and a strong individual. And that's what I take with me every day. | 108 |
| Philippe Cousteau, Jr. | Science is cool! But it's easy for that to get lost in textbooks sometimes. | 108 |
| Reggie Watts | Sometimes airport security people recognize me. I'll go through the whole screening process and at the end they'll go, 'Hey, man, I really like your work.' That's so cool. | 108 |
| Christine Baranski | Ron Howard is as good a person as you could want to work with on film. He never lost his cool. He's the most easygoing, lovely man, but he's got this enormous intelligence and a wonderful humanity. | 108 |
| Colin Angle | It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool. | 108 |
| Kimberly Willis Holt | If you're having trouble finishing a book, it might be that you're trying to fix it as you go. Just finish the story, no matter how terrible you think that first draft is. Then let it cool off. In other words, don't look at it for a while. Then you can rewrite it. | 108 |
| Matthew Vaughn | I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny. | 108 |
| Reid Scott | My personal style falls between casual cool and meticulous slob. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but I love fashion. | 108 |
| Ricky Skaggs | Country's hip; it's cool music. | 108 |
| Caity Lotz | I've danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it's all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it's very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It's kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts. | 108 |
| Catherine Keener | If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew. | 108 |
| David Archuleta | It's cool when people notice that you make an effort to live certain values. | 108 |
| Kingman Brewster, Jr. | Maybe you are the 'cool' generation If coolness means a capacity to stay calm and use your head in the service of ends passionately believed in, then it has my admiration. | 108 |
| Michael Vick | That wasn't the way that things was supposed to be. And all because the so-called culture that I thought was right, that I thought it was cool, and I thought it was fun, and it was exciting at the time. It all led to me laying in a prison bunk by myself with no one to talk to but myself. | 108 |
| Sarah Chalke | It was really cool going to Sea World. We had an amazing time. They were amazing to us. We got to swim with the dolphins, and it was really special. | 108 |
| Ashley Monroe | One of my favorite things to do is sit around and listen to old records... You're forced to listen to the whole thing. And it's so cool digging through the bins trying to find them. I get giddy about records. | 108 |
| Michael Connelly | In a daydream sort of way, I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier. | 108 |
| James Bay | Being exhausted is all part of the fun. I'm cool with it. I'm not going to wish that it would slow down. | 108 |
| Sid Meier | Dinosaurs was a cool idea, but we just couldn't find a way to make it really fun. We've got a bunch of great game ideas that we want to bring to life over the next several years. | 108 |
| Jay-Z | Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who's listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me? | 109 |
| Aaliyah | If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing. | 109 |
| Greg Giraldo | The things that make me laugh are considered smart or whatever, I guess. But stuff that's self-consciously intelligent or self-consciously hip or cool, that doesn't do it for me either. You just try to be funny. | 109 |
| Isla Fisher | All I know is that I've ruled out wearing fairy wings. When I was nine I wanted to get married in fairy wings, and now I realize that's not cool anymore. | 109 |
| Issa Rae | I used to love being the class clown. I loved to make jokes and make people laugh. There was a set of students who would find it funny. But the cool students were like, 'Eeew!' | 109 |
| Mark Ruffalo | The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people. | 109 |
| Nate Ruess | I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass player's brother's bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool. | 109 |
| Norman Cousins | He who keeps his cool best wins. | 109 |
| Pete Carroll | My mom was really cool. She's the one that gave me the mentality about believing in myself and trusting it, that I was always gonna be okay, and that I could do things in a special way. She just pumped me up, you know? | 109 |
| Rick Atkinson | The people who write official histories for the Army believe that a generation needs to pass before you can tackle the official history. It's useful to have some distance. Sources become available. Passions cool. It allows an opportunity to make some real assessments and judgments about personalities and characters. | 109 |
| Tony Fadell | It wasn't until the Apple Macintosh that people understood what true hardware-software integration was about. It took one company to line it up: low-cost hardware, cool graphics, third-party products built on top of it, in an all-in-one attractive package that was accessible to consumer marketing. | 109 |
| Zoe Kravitz | Hollywood is like a really sad, grown up version of high school where people get labeled as 'cool,' 'not cool,' 'jock,' 'bombshell,' 'quirky'... it's like a caste system. You're either in, or you're out. | 109 |
| Bridgit Mendler | I really like 'This Side of Paradise' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I think it's a cool description of a character. | 109 |
| Daron Malakian | In the Middle East in the summertime, to keep cool, a lot of people sleep on the rooftops. | 109 |
| Diplo | I appreciate people who are authentic. Someone who just wants to be cool, I can tell when their intentions aren't right. | 109 |
| Edward Burns | I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles. | 109 |
| Henry Winkler | You cannot represent cool. You've got to be cool. You've got to be authentic. I think, after all these years, that is how I define cool. It is being authentic. That is powerful. | 109 |
| Katie Aselton | I think the idea that women can stand up and be strong and still be seen as beautiful and sexual is kind of cool, and I would like to see more of that. | 109 |
| Landon Donovan | I got to say 'Hi' to Dolly Parton, which my mom thought was kind of cool. | 109 |
| Will Estes | You get to actually see the music video on the TV in the pilot and we have the soundtrack playing at this big party. I thought that was sort of a cool moment, to actually have the A-Ha video is pretty cool. | 109 |
| Bill Kreutzmann | I always thought it would be really cool to be playing the drums in the show and then have your astral body or whatever travel all through the audience and dig whatever it's like out there. | 109 |
| Bill Kurtis | I think I'm so old I'm in. We call it the 'Tony Bennett Syndrome.' For some reason, young people think I'm cool. | 109 |
| Chantal Sutherland | Opening day is always so cool to be a part of and to people watch. The Pacific Classic, which I've had the privilege of riding in a couple of times, is great. Every day at Del Mar is fantastic. I love the smells, working out on the beach, running the stairs. It's just a healthy environment. I love it. | 109 |
| Dan Auerbach | You get to bring your own sound system when you play an arena, all the lights and visual stuff, which I think is really cool. There's something about those old arenas, where it feels larger than life. | 109 |
| David Cassidy | My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience. | 109 |
| Emir Kusturica | My purpose is to make a movie to make you warm. To give you some heat. Now, this rational world has become a place where only what is cool is good. Do you cut the movie on the basis of the beat of modernity or the basis of the beat of your own heart? | 109 |
| Michael Bay | It is really cool to have created a movie that has turned out to become the biggest movie of the year. | 109 |
| Catherine Bell | I get letters from kids, teenagers and young girls who just want to be Mac. I've had quite a few people actually say that they're going to become a Marine or a JAG lawyer because of me... the character. I think that's pretty cool! | 109 |
| Derek Hough | I'm just the biggest klutz. That's the problem. I don't get hurt doing cool things. | 109 |
| Gustav Krupp | With these men and women who work-for the cause with all their hearts, with cool heads and skilled hands we will master every fate. | 109 |
| Jonathan Zittrain | I'm interested in helping secure the PC - we need innovation here. It's not just hug your PC, hate the iPhone. In fact I don't even hate the iPhone; I think it's really cool. I just don't want it to be the center of the ecosystem along with the Web 2.0 apps. | 109 |
| Andy Taylor | We had a huge audience, we sold truckloads of albums. If we do something that's cool, people will listen to it. If we don't, we would be selling people short. | 109 |
| Bailey Chase | 'Damages' was cool. It brought me back to New York for a little while, so that was a lot of fun, and I was obviously very excited about the opportunity to work with Rose Byrne and Glenn Close. I'd been a fan of that show before I started working on it. | 109 |
| Martin Puryear | I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects. | 109 |
| Michael Ealy | I've always thought vampires were interesting because they live forever, they're always well-financed, they dress well, you know what I mean? And they're, like, cool. Usually vampire - you've never seen a broke vampire. Have you? | 109 |
| Skylar Astin | The thing about a pick-up line is, even if it works, then what? I just figure you unapologetically be yourself, and if it works, cool. | 109 |
| Jhonen Vasquez | I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool, but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular, except for hobos, who just plain kick ass and light up my life. | 109 |
| Woodrow Wilson | One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat. | 110 |
| Bill Richardson | President Clinton is going to embrace President Obama, as he should. They are working together. They're different kinds of people. Obama is cool, Clinton is a schmoozer. Both are great speakers. It's a great merging of the party. | 110 |
| Chris Martin | I've never been cool and I don't really care about being cool. It's just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted. | 110 |
| Darrell Royal | I don't count on the boy who waits till October, when it's cool and fun, then decides he wants to play. | 110 |
| Diane Kruger | I have a kind of boring personal life, to the paparazzi anyway, and I don't hang with the cool crowd. | 110 |
| G-Eazy | You have this ability in hip hop to be invincibly cool, and that is a part of G-Eazy. | 110 |
| Ian Mckellen | I'm not quite as cool as I would like to be, really. | 110 |
| John Lasseter | I loved animation and cartoons, even when it was not cool when you were in high school. I raced home to see the Bugs Bunny cartoons. | 110 |
| Larry Ellison | It's surreal to think that I own this beautiful island. It doesn't feel like anyone can own Lanai. What it feels like to me is this really cool 21st-century engineering project, where I get to work with the people of Lanai to create a prosperous and sustainable Eden in the Pacific. | 110 |
| Nick Cannon | Saturday morning, you knew what was cool by what was on 'Soul Train.' | 110 |
| Nikki Sixx | Reflecting back, we all make mistakes; we all go through our stuff - relationships, financial, all kinds of stuff - and if you can grow from that and pass that message on, it's a pretty cool thing. | 110 |
| Ville Valo | It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more. | 110 |
| Zachary Levi | 'Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie. 'Aladdin' was an amazing adventure and the lead character was a hero for guys, which I loved. It wasn't a princess or a girl beating the odds; it was a street rat. That seemed really cool to me. | 110 |
| Bridgit Mendler | The cool thing about doing a voice-over into a different language is that you get to bring the character of your own culture into it. | 110 |
| Charlie Trotter | I never considered Miles Davis a perfectionist; I always considered him as an excellence-ist, where deviation is actually kind of cool. | 110 |
| Chris Lilley | I'm not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this 'cool' funny person. I don't care how weird or ugly I look. | 110 |
| Graham Coxon | Playing and singing at the same time is pretty cool, but sometimes it's difficult to know when you can just really let go a bit because you've got to get back to bloody microphone and sing some stuff. | 110 |
| Ja Rule | Jail is definitely not cool. Education is. | 110 |
| Mike Love | Keep a cool head and a warm heart. | 110 |
| Richard Madden | If ever anyone comes up to me, it's usually like, 'You look really like that guy on that show.' And you're like, 'Really?' And they're like, 'Yeah. Cool. See you later.' And you're like, 'Cool, man.' | 110 |
| Craig McCracken | I'm a geeky toy collector, and to have toys of your own characters is unbelievably cool. | 110 |
| Keegan Allen | When I was in high school, my friends and I would drive out into the country to abandoned houses and structures... haha... to ghost hunt. We would scare each other so bad! We would sometimes camp out by the abandoned buildings just to scare ourselves! Such good times. The adrenaline of real fear is so cool! | 110 |
| Mark Ronson | Being a die-hard Knicks fan, I remember hunting down these orange-and-blue Nikes that they only released in England. And I used to hunt for sneakers when I DJ'd in Japan. But then Nike flooded the market with a head-spinning array of color combinations and it just didn't seem cool anymore. | 110 |
| Todd English | Having been to Europe and working and traveling there, the restaurants my wife and I remember were always off the beaten trail restaurants. So I tried to seek a little 'off the beaten trail,' but cool area. | 110 |
| Ashley Benson | I get really cool gifts, and I know this sounds really lame, but I think one of the best gifts I've ever received was the Easy Bake Oven when I was younger. When I was little, I loved to bake! I want to get one now so I can make weird mini desserts for people. | 110 |
| Barry Zito | Meyer and I have a bit in common because we're both left-handed. I think it's great that he seeks out that advice because he's not too cool or too uncomfortable to ask for it. | 110 |
| Darius Rucker | We got to do a few things with President Clinton. To be invited to Washington again to play with Ashanti and all those other cool people there in front of President Bush and the rest of the world feels awesome. I'm really looking forward to going. | 110 |
| Michael Graves | We use blue on the handle of the Alessi kettle. Blue is cool, so you're supposed to think that it's not hot. And the bird is red: you're supposed to think to be careful to remove the bird. | 110 |
| Jennette McCurdy | Being a role model is cool and a great honor. I'm grateful to be considered one and will live up to that title by encouraging kids to eat their Wheaties and brush their teeth often. | 110 |
| Donald Glover | The thing about stand-up was, I was doing all this sketch and YouTube stuff where I was not being censored and I got to do my own thing, and it was really cool. | 111 |
| Drew Barrymore | I still, at hotel rooms, I do this one sort of not-so-cool thing: continually shoving my room service tray in front of someone else's door. Because I don't want the remnants. I don't want to be caught, like, being like the pig that I was at two in the morning. | 111 |
| Emeril Lagasse | The cool thing is that now that people have made this evolution where cooking is cool, people are doing it on weekends, they're doing their own challenges. It's back to cooking. And it's real cooking. | 111 |
| Frank Black | I'm not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It's a great, cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but, hey, so can Charles Dickens so I'm not going to judge. | 111 |
| Geraldine Brooks | Sydney in the 1960s wasn't the exuberant multicultural metropolis it is today. Out in the city's western reaches, days passed in a sun-struck stupor. In the evenings, families gathered on their verandas waiting for the 'southerly buster' - the thunderstorm that would break the heat and leave the air cool enough to allow sleep. | 111 |
| Kesha | You don't have to carry a designer bag that costs more than a car to look cool. | 111 |
| Meek Mill | I don't rely on catchphrases or really like sing-along. I just do whatever I feel. Whatever the beat makes me say, I do that and I run with that. It's been working for me, so I'd be cool with that. | 111 |
| Nolan Bushnell | There are a lot of things about having money that are perceived to be cool but that aren't. Maybe if you're a CEO jerk who likes going coast to coast by himself in a G4, then that's fine. But that's not me. And it never will be. | 111 |
| Rachel Nichols | I laugh at what I used to think was cool when I was growing up. In all seriousness, I thought having braces was cool. | 111 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Cell phones, mobile e-mail, and all the other cool and slick gadgets can cause massive losses in our creative output and overall productivity. | 111 |
| Slash | So when I got to be about 13 or 14, I started listening - even though my parents music was way cool - to contemporary hard rock at that time, which was Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Ted Nugent and all that, and that's just where I came from. | 111 |
| Tom Peters | 'In Search of Excellence' - even the title - is a reminder that business isn't dry, dreary, boring, or by the numbers. Life at work can be cool - and work that's cool isn't confined to Tiger Woods, Yo-Yo Ma, or Tom Hanks. It's available to all of us and any of us. | 111 |
| Alexander Wang | When I decided to launch my first knitwear line, it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool, fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started. | 111 |
| Leslie Fiedler | I have, I admit, a low tolerance for detached chronicling and cool analysis. | 111 |
| Ludacris | 'Ludacris' is something that I made up. It just kind of describes me. Sometimes I have like a split personality. Sometimes I'm cool, calm, and collected, and other times I'm beyond crazy. | 111 |
| Suzanne Farrell | I'm thought of as a cool, unemotional dancer, but inside I'm not. | 111 |
| Bre Pettis | I still have the first bottle opener I made on my MakerBot. Things you fabricate are things you care more about. I think there will always be people who go and buy crap at the dollar store. But I think it is cool when people craft things themselves. | 111 |
| Christian Kane | I started rocking and rolling when Guns N' Roses came out. It wasn't until Garth Brooks came around that I really got back to country. He made it fun again. To me, in country music, the rigor mortis was setting in and it just wasn't fun anymore. Garth brought everyone back over to country and made it cool again. | 111 |
| Ed Helms | I try to explain to people that you get the roles that are right when they're right. If you have a nerd character but you're kind of a cool guy, you're probably not going to get the nerd part. The nerd is going to get the nerd part. You know, someone like me. | 111 |
| Josh Radnor | Cynicism is kind of like folding your arms and stepping back and commenting on things, like the old guys in 'The Muppets,' just throwing out comments all the time, whereas there are other people on the ground really trying to affect things and improve their lives and the lives of other people. I think it's noble and I think it's cool. | 111 |
| Meghan Trainor | Growing up, I didn't get the talk of 'Make sure boys take you on a date and treat you right.' So I was the girl who wasn't dating and would just text. I dated these guys who didn't have jobs, and I would always be paying. At one point, I remember looking in the mirror and thinking, 'You're too pretty and cool to be treated like this.' | 111 |
| Shay Mitchell | In high school I was an outcast... I wasn't cool to hang out with. I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall because that was the one place I could go where I wouldn't been seen. | 111 |
| Candace Cameron Bure | The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die. | 111 |
| Chester Bennington | It's not cool to be an alcoholic. | 111 |
| Evanna Lynch | Sometimes, the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows, because she is so comfortable with herself. | 111 |
| James Mercer | I have the soundtrack for 'A Clockwork Orange,' which is kind of cool. I guess I don't really end up buying a lot of modern soundtracks. Another soundtrack I love is from a French movie called 'Betty Blue.' it has some really melancholy piano work. | 111 |
| Ashley Scott | I was training more learning how to scuba dive which I'd never done which was really, really, really cool. | 111 |
| Ryan Adams | I think I've been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say, 'Hey, this is who I am.' | 111 |
| Jennette McCurdy | For me, 'Sam & Cat' is cool because it's got this buddy-comedy aspect that 'iCarly' or 'Victorious' didn't have. | 111 |
| Gary Vaynerchuk | People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave,' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.' | 112 |
| Aaron Sorkin | With 'The Social Network,' I got into it at first because frankly I thought there was a cool courtroom drama to be had with the intellectual properties. And then what further drew me in was that the most extraordinary social networking device ever created was created by the world's most antisocial person. I liked that story. | 112 |
| Dieter F. Uchtdorf | Satan will advocate that it is cool to doubt spiritual gifts and the teachings of true prophets. | 112 |
| Dylan O'Brien | I just really like fun, cool, interesting, quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche, but it's so freaking true! | 112 |
| Jim Carrey | Morgan Freeman is so class. He's so cool. He's so scary. | 112 |
| Lily James | You have to pretend to be cool, which I never am. | 112 |
| Nick Jonas | I admire Kings of Leon. I think their records are amazing. Just from hanging out with them, I can say they're good guys. It's cool to see that they get to do what they love. But I think they clearly have an appreciation for where they came from, and it has shaped who they are. | 112 |
| Nina Dobrev | I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It's a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn't be more grateful. | 112 |
| Ted Nugent | Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians - except for the occasional mountain lion steak. | 112 |
| Tommy Hilfiger | We had incense and rock'n'roll posters, and we sold records and rolling papers. People could just, like, hang out. We had a cool vibe going. | 112 |
| Becky G | My parents are so cool, so chill, super hip. They know what's up. | 112 |
| Cheech Marin | I liked Jackie Robinson because he was cool to watch, not because he was black. Every time you turned around, he was hitting a triple or making a great play in the field or, best of all, stealing home. | 112 |
| Danica McKellar | If a guy is skilled at anything, that's attractive. There's something very primal about that and, sure, it can be as simple as figuring out the tip quickly. It's really cool when a guy tips 20 percent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes, he opens it and signs his name and done. | 112 |
| Dionne Warwick | I'd like to see a world free of strife, stress, pain, hunger, war - a cool place where everyone could live. | 112 |
| Laura Prepon | On a lot of shows that I've done, we had the same directors, which was cool. But then, it's also great to do shows where the director changes every week, because you get to see all these different personalities and see what you like dealing with better, as an actor. | 112 |
| Marilu Henner | We're always bombarded with images from magazines of what looks cool and sexy. | 112 |
| Martin Short | David Lynch and I almost made a movie together in the late '80s. We had lots of dinners and lunches. He's a very cool, hip guy. This film, let's face it, is like an homage to him, I would imagine he'd find it funny. | 112 |
| Taylor Schilling | I'm not very cool. I have a really hard time meeting people and stuff. | 112 |
| Bow Wow | LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies' man and had a female fan base, but yet he's a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail. | 112 |
| Pete Docter | Walt Disney wasn't making films for kids. Neither were the Muppets. A lot of the great, really cool films, they weren't making them for kids. | 112 |
| Shemar Moore | Orlando's a part of me. The next guy's a part of me. And the next guy's a part of me. That's all I'm trying to do, is tell cool stories that people can relate to. | 112 |
| Chester Bennington | It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am, this is what I write about, what I do, and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another. | 112 |
| Jordin Sparks | As far as friendships go, things change even without the fame. People start moving on. I have a few friends that are married and are starting to have kids and I'm like, 'Oh my goodness gracious - that's so insane.' I also have friends who are just doing their own thing, which is cool. | 112 |
| Maggie Q | It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies, and I'm very lucky, and I'm not complaining. But in movies, alongside big action men, we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine. | 112 |
| Mo Rocca | I think that Obama is very cool. And I think he's clever, and I think he can be witty. But I don't think he's funny in either the way that Reagan was funny - or John McCain and Dick Cheney are both funny in that ruthless, kind of mean way. | 112 |
| Mike McCready | There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career, which is pretty cool too. | 112 |
| Richard M. Nixon | I can take it. The tougher it gets, the cooler I get. | 113 |
| Taylor Swift | All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years. | 113 |
| Darren Aronofsky | Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it's hard to be at the cutting edge of what's cool and not do something that's totally geeky. | 113 |
| Elizabeth Gilbert | That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years. I have not agreed with his every decision, but never once have I seen him break his cool, lose his composure, or abandon his insightful perspective - even during the most serious and/or absurd national disasters. | 113 |
| Frank Miller | I'm a comic book artist. So I think to myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coats. So that's what I write about. | 113 |
| Les Claypool | I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing. | 113 |
| Luke Evans | Living in New Zealand, it's like a different world - it is a different world. It's very, very cool. | 113 |
| Michael Caine | My problem was that I was blond. There were no heroes with blond hair. Robert Taylor and Henry Fonda, they all had dark hair. The only one I found was Van Johnson, who wasn't too cool. He was a nice, homely American boy. So I created my own image. It worked. | 113 |
| Neil Patrick Harris | Tobey's a mellow, cool guy. He's just a good guy. I know that's not the answer you want, and I don't mean that as the political thing to say, but he's a nice guy. | 113 |
| Theophilus London | I love to hear a cool ambient sound at runway shows. It creates a good energy. | 113 |
| Brian Molko | Placebo is music for outsiders, by outsiders and our gigs are like conventions of outcasts, which is cool. | 113 |
| Brittany Snow | My big 'don't' would be wearing something just because someone told you it looks cool. I think a lot of people fall victim to that - of doing something that's a trend, but then you can tell if they don't own it or don't like it. | 113 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | A lot of the futuristic space stuff seemed to me to be a very cool form of science-fiction, so that was my first real baptism in the genre. | 113 |
| Mary-Kate Olsen | Australia is so cool that it's hard to even know where to start describing it. The beaches are beautiful; so is the weather. Not too crowded. Great food, great music, really nice people. It must be a lot like Los Angeles was many years ago. | 113 |
| Chris Daughtry | What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin. | 113 |
| Rickie Fowler | I'd love to have a lasting impact as far as growing the game. It would be cool to be remembered as a major champion. I'd like to be remembered as a great golfer but also a great person, as far as growing the game and charity work. The whole well-rounded athlete. | 113 |
| Rupert Grint | I get recognised sometimes, and that's really cool. I've tried certain disguises, but that doesn't work. | 113 |
| Andrew Shue | If you can get a teen leader in each sector of a student population, you can pull people in. Everybody wants to get involved, but most are too afraid. When they see a person they think is cool leading it, they're first to join. | 113 |
| Anna Sui | Every collection that I work on, I always think, Is this cool enough to wear to a concert? | 113 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation. | 114 |
| Billy Corgan | I was trying to be this person who is cool, eternally rocking. | 114 |
| Diane Ackerman | Cicadas, buckling and unbuckling their stomach muscles, yield the sound of someone sharpening scissors. Fall field crickets, the thermometer hounds, add high-pitched tinkling chirps to the jazz, and their call quickens with warm weather, slows again with cool. | 114 |
| Herbie Hancock | The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental. | 114 |
| Keira Knightley | But acting is very much a profession that is you're hot one moment and not the next - and that is totally cool. I think that's what I find most fascinating and most exciting about it - is that it can be gone in a puff of smoke. | 114 |
| Meek Mill | It's cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don't really be big on people looking at me. | 114 |
| Nikki Giovanni | For most of my life, I've thought of myself as pretty cool. | 114 |
| Norah Jones | A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it. | 114 |
| Wyclef Jean | Coming from Haiti and growing up in Brooklyn, there's a lot of European influence when I get dressed up. I wear a lot of fitted suits, elegant cuts; I think it's cool to mash up a lot of different looks. | 114 |
| Eliza Dushku | When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age. | 114 |
| Gary Allan | I've had fans come and knock on my door. I'm usually polite, but I'm usually very direct and say, 'It's not cool that you come here uninvited.' | 114 |
| Julian Casablancas | If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout. | 114 |
| Mary-Kate Olsen | Our career is a dream. I mean, we get to act, travel around the world, and meet cool people. What's not to love! | 114 |
| Roger Goodell | To me, what I love about the draft is; first, you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then, the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And, I think that's great for everybody. | 114 |
| Adam DeVine | I loved Adam Sandler's early stuff. I thought it was so cool how irreverent and weird he would get. | 114 |
| Dianna Agron | I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas. But I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things. | 114 |
| Matthew Gray Gubler | It'd be cool to chipmunk-ize 'The Virgin Suicides' soundtrack. All this ethereal French music, I think that would be unique to listen to. | 114 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | My friends are people who like building cool stuff. We always have this joke about people who want to just start companies without making something valuable. There's a lot of that in Silicon Valley. | 115 |
| Anne Hathaway | I think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes. More than fashion or brand labels, I love design. I love the thought that people put into clothes. I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby. | 115 |
| Cher | Some years I'm the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone's so over me, and I'm just so past my sell date. | 115 |
| Chris Brown | I like low-maintenance girls, but at the same time, classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball, so it's cool if she's a tomboy. | 115 |
| Dave Attell | For a long time the people at my shows were sort of the Pantera-tattoo trucker guys, really cool dudes, but I don't know what happened to them. That's the crowd that I like, the ones that don't get so offended just to be offended. | 115 |
| Famke Janssen | Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next. | 115 |
| Gabriel Iglesias | The Ford Flex is a really, really cool car. You get inside and you have so much headroom and it's really comfortable to drive and it's real techy inside. You look at the screen and it's blue and you've got all kinds of controls. Everything is digital. | 115 |
| John Hughes | I don't want to be too cool. You get so caught up with whether you're doing it right. | 115 |
| Katy Perry | I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. | 115 |
| Kelly Clarkson | I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans. | 115 |
| LZ Granderson | Insecurity is a natural part of human nature, and there are times we feel our stories are not worth telling, so we turn to the people we admire for strength. If we dress like someone everyone thinks is cool, perhaps we'll be seen as cool. | 115 |
| Nikki Sixx | In the end, the whole Internet thing kills me, because you can use it as a positive thing or you can read into all the negativity. And I think you've gotta put out positive energy, put out cool viral stuff, and then just stay out of people's opinions. | 115 |
| Patti Smith | It's not uncool to worry about people who seem like they're going on the wrong path. There's nothing cool about being self-destructive. | 115 |
| Stevie Nicks | My generation fought very hard for feminism, and we fought very hard to not be labeled as you had to have a husband or you had to be in a relationship, or you were somehow not a cool chick. | 115 |
| Wiz Khalifa | You don't have to be a certain thing to be cool. If you're white, you don't have to act black or whatever. Just be you and know who you are. | 115 |
| Zack Snyder | People always come up to me now and say, 'Watchmen' is the best superhero movie ever made.' I'm always saying 'That's super cool. That's nice of you to say.' But it happens now, more and more and more than it did when it first came out. | 115 |
| Zoe Kravitz | I don't really go out, 'go out' that much anymore. I live in Brooklyn, in Williamsburg, so I just like to wander around. Williamsburg's such a cool little neighborhood community spot. | 115 |
| Alber Elbaz | If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility. | 115 |
| Dakota Johnson | When I did 'The Social Network', David Fincher told me that I managed to make a thankless character pretty awesome. I thought that was really cool because I think he's really cool. | 115 |
| Diplo | It's cool to play the guitar, but to me it's even cooler to scratch a guitar backward and forward, to manipulate it with a turntable. Guitars can't do that themselves. | 115 |
| Jerry Saltz | Summer is a great time to visit art museums, which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools - only instead of cool water, you immerse yourself in art. | 115 |
| Kim Dotcom | I have a huge ego - I know that. Do I worry about it? No, I think it's cool. I have a lot of fun. | 115 |
| Rashida Jones | In early high school years, I was pretty chubby, and I spent a lot of time on my computer, before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality. | 115 |
| Scott Caan | In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it. | 115 |
| Suki Waterhouse | Photographing friends means that there's a spontaneity to the images. I have a lot of love for my friends and family, and I love taking cool pictures of them. | 115 |
| Will Wright | And every now and then people find the bugs, and they interpret those as cool failures in the Sims terms. For them it's like a treasure hunt, you know. | 115 |
| John Ridley | The great thing about working with NPR - and, really, there's like a million of 'em - is all the cool stuff I get to do for the public. Meet the president. Hang out at the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas. Drink a $10,000 martini. | 115 |
| Stone Gossard | And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it, walk home, take my time, kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school, so that was cool. | 115 |
| Frank Ocean | The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me. | 116 |
| Dave Attell | I don't watch reality TV. I'm cool. | 116 |
| James Hetfield | We do this basically for ourselves. People appreciate it, which is cool, but I think they appreciate that we're doing it for ourselves. We're doing it our way, and how people like it is not up to us. We like it. | 116 |
| Lily Collins | My mother used to take me to flea markets in my stroller, and I would just rummage through the piles. You've got to dig through the overstuffed racks that everyone else just walks by. It's the only way to find the cool stuff. | 116 |
| Lorde | My advice to young people wanting to make music and to be in this industry is to really spend your time making music. Make so much music you have no friends. Make music. Figure out what it is you love, and... because if you're making cool art, then everything else will fall into line. | 116 |
| Missy Elliott | I didn't want to be a genius! That ain't cool. | 116 |
| Olly Murs | I think we all attract troublemakers; I don't think it's particularly about anyone. I had it actually as an album title, and I thought it would be really cool to write a song about a girl that's a bit of troublemaker. | 116 |
| Rachel Nichols | Short boots are cool, in my humble opinion. They say, 'Hey! Winter is over, but summer hasn't yet arrived - so enjoy this halfway point!' | 116 |
| Tom Peters | Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too! | 116 |
| Wyclef Jean | That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove, you were just singing the hooks, because you thought it was cool. | 116 |
| Zayn Malik | I'm always drawing, so Draw Something is a cool game to play against your friends when you're bored and sat chilling out and relaxing. | 116 |
| Amanda Bynes | I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they're really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool, I don't see how you can be like that. | 116 |
| Dakota Fanning | Courtney Love is really cool and funny. I would like to meet Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. I think I could play their daughters. | 116 |
| Mac Miller | I always thought I'd look corny in the type of rap video in the club with girls and all that type of stuff. I just didn't think I could really pull that off. We always think it's more fun and better just to go outside the box and to use our videos to show cool concepts. | 116 |
| Tatiana Maslany | It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies - character-driven stuff. | 116 |
| Drake | My dad is a great writer. Naturally talented, naturally charming. He embodies that back-in-the-day cool. | 117 |
| Chris Martin | We aren't cool and never will be. | 117 |
| Frankie Valli | When I was a kid, I used to listen to my Emerson radio late at night under the covers. I started by listening to jazz in the late 1940s and then vocal harmony groups like the Four Freshmen, the Modernaires and the Hi-Lo's. I loved Stan Kenton's big band - with those dark chords and musicians who could swing cool with individual sounds. | 117 |
| Jean-Claude Van Damme | When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion. | 117 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | Many in the world are searching, often intensely, for a source of refreshment that will quench their yearning for meaning and direction in their lives. They crave a cool, satisfying drink of insight and knowledge that will soothe their parched souls. | 117 |
| Kim Gordon | You can't be a strong or cool woman and be represented except in a harsh way, looking mean and cold and hard. It's like reverse sexism. | 117 |
| Linus Torvalds | No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. | 117 |
| Nathan Fillion | I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid, too, and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me, a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool. | 117 |
| Nick Cannon | I'm not geeky but I have my geeky, corky moments, and then I've got some aspects of cool in me, I guess. | 117 |
| Patricia Heaton | Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced, their children, and I understand that. But on a personal level, it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband. | 117 |
| Theophilus London | I always imagined how cool it would be to be the face of a Gap campaign! | 117 |
| Trent Reznor | I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries, to explore. My life experience came from watching movies, TV, and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities. | 117 |
| Curtis Stone | When I see my staff take a step back because I've lost my cool about something food-related, I say never apologise for your standards. If someone doesn't meet them, then you should explain that and that you want it changed. I want my staff to be like that, too. | 117 |
| Dave Mustaine | I've never believed in singing about Satan and thinking he's cool, because he's not. | 117 |
| Kim Dotcom | I get 100 e-mails a day from Americans who say, 'What you're doing is cool - can we work for you?' From Germans, I also get 100 e-mails a day, saying, 'You fat pig!' or 'You're a liar and a criminal!' I'm trying to change this. | 117 |
| Tori Spelling | I want to be a cool mom. | 117 |
| Afrojack | You're going to be way happier doing what you actually love and finding other people that love the same thing than doing something that other people love so you're just cooler and you have cool friends. | 117 |
| Lisa Leslie | Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie 'Legally Blonde' and I was like, 'Cool, that's something I want to do.' | 117 |
| John Kricfalusi | I influenced the BG style by not being able to draw perspective. The BG artists developed cool graphic painting styles to make my bad backgrounds look like they were that way on purpose. | 117 |
| Jonathan Brandis | Roy Schneider was cool. I learned quite a bit from him. | 117 |
| Elon Musk | I'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool. | 118 |
| Bill Burr | You start in bars and then restaurants, then you want to get into comedy clubs where you feature, then you headline, and once you sell out clubs you're into theaters. I've been able to get there, and it's cool to do that. | 118 |
| Bill Watterson | It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what's cool. | 118 |
| Daniel Webster | Keep cool; anger is not an argument. | 118 |
| Lily James | My mom passed down to me her old Levi's denim jacket. When I left it on a plane, I was devastated. I've never been able to find anything with quite the same cool, faded look. | 118 |
| Russell Wilson | You know, I want to be the uncommon one. I think it's pretty cool that I'm only 5'11", you know, and playing in the National Football League. | 118 |
| Alber Elbaz | I hate the word 'cool.' It gives me a rash. | 118 |
| Bob Beauprez | For too long, our country's version of an energy policy has consisted of Americans waking up every day and wondering how much it will cost to drive to work, how much it will cost to keep their business running, how much it will cost to heat or cool their homes. | 118 |
| Jason Silva | I've built a network that curates interestingness. In my universe, it encompasses thousands and thousands of filters and people, each person being a filter. So it's kinda cool. Like I've created my own utopia, removing the boring stuff and showing only the amazing stuff. | 118 |
| Kat Dennings | There aren't as many girl superheroes, but there are cool ones. Banshee, for instance. | 118 |
| Saoirse Ronan | I think it's important that we have strong, female characters in movies now, which can really leave an impression on people - especially young people - and that they're not 'sexy' or 'cool.' | 118 |
| Sebastian Vettel | I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost. | 118 |
| Sophie Turner | A lot of fans that recognize me go, 'I kind of hate you,' and I'm all, 'Cool, well, you've just made this sufficiently awkward.' | 118 |
| Marianne Faithfull | I live a very nice life. I have a wonderful time. But it's not lived drawing on a full level. I'm relaxed, cool, and enjoying it. | 118 |
| Shay Mitchell | I'm a fan of designers and clothes that look beautiful, but more importantly, make me feel beautiful and confident. It's why I've always loved Stella McCartney, and more recently, Prabal Gurung. Their pieces are cool, yet timeless, and the fits are effortlessly flattering. | 118 |
| Jeff Greenfield | So you wake up this morning and find you're president of the United States. Pretty cool, no? Helicopters and a 747 at your disposal; courtside seats at any NBA playoff game of your choice; everyone stands up and the band plays when you come into the room. | 118 |
| Michelle Obama | I never cut class. I loved getting A's, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world. | 119 |
| ASAP Rocky | I represent the kids who come from nothing but who understand it all and love it all. That's what I represent - those are the cool kids, you know, the kids of tomorrow, because who would've known that I'd be who I am today? We are the kids of tomorrow. | 119 |
| Channing Tatum | Someone who doesn't take herself too seriously and can be a goofball. Because everyone's a nerd inside, I don't care how cool you are. | 119 |
| Eddie Vedder | No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what. | 119 |
| Fiona Apple | There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl. | 119 |
| George Strait | I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years, I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was. | 119 |
| Idina Menzel | Everybody thinks it's going to be so glamorous, so cool, you're on 'Glee,' you know, a hit show or whatever. | 119 |
| James Hetfield | Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much. | 119 |
| Shirley Manson | You have to watch all sides of your advancement, you have to make sure people's bodies and minds are healthy and their morale is cool before you can really go out and play great music. | 119 |
| Vanilla Ice | To me, a critic is some loser who has no idea... someone with an opinion. We all have opinions. No offense, but what makes them dictate what is cool and what is not. | 119 |
| William Gibson | 'Cyberspace' as a term is sort of over. It's over in the way that, after a certain time, people stopped using the suffix '-electro' to make things cool, because everything was electrical. 'Electro' was all over the early 20th century, and now it's gone. I think 'cyber' is sort of the same way. | 119 |
| Zayn Malik | I'm a massive fan of Drake, and we walked right past him. He's too cool to be clapping One Direction though. | 119 |
| Zoe Kravitz | I like to wear shoes that are cool but also practical. The same goes for bags. Your bag is a big deal in New York. You can't just carry around a little clutch, because you don't have a car or anywhere to stash things during the day, so you need to carry your whole life with you. That's why I like big, chunky bags with lots of compartments. | 119 |
| Bethany Mota | When I have a good pair of shoes, I wear them over and over. Whether it's nice sneakers or a cool pair of combat boots, splurge on a pair you love that you can wear over and over with totally different outfits. | 119 |
| Jack Dorsey | I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen. | 119 |
| Jay-Z | You make your first album, you make some money, and you feel like you still have to show face, like 'I still go to the projects.' I'm like, why? Your job is to inspire people from your neighborhood to get out. You grew up there. What makes you think it's so cool? | 120 |
| Christian Bale | How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun. | 120 |
| Evangeline Lilly | I just like short hair on women; I think it's cool. | 120 |
| Nolan Bushnell | I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time. | 120 |
| Satchel Paige | If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts. | 120 |
| Tommy Lee | I'm really a cool, mellow guy. I'm not as crazy as everybody thinks. | 120 |
| Winona LaDuke | I wanted to get out of Ashland, and I thought it would be pretty cool to go to school in the East. So I asked my guidance counselor what Ivy League schools were. And I applied to Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth - that was it. My guidance counselor told me I wouldn't get into an Ivy League school. So as my act of resistance, that's all I applied to. | 120 |
| Liam Payne | I think the whole thing, boy band, it's a little bit of a dirty word. They say it's not a good thing to be in a boy band. We want to change that. We want to make the boy band cool. It's not just about dancing and dressing the same. | 120 |
| Reggie Watts | I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me. | 120 |
| Roseanne Barr | I'm a farmer now, and it's fantastic. My goal is to be totally self-sufficient and grow everything that I eat. There's something about earning your dinner that's cool. | 120 |
| Sid Waddell | He's as cool as a prized marrow! | 120 |
| Tom Baker | We have newsreaders behaving like actors, lowering their voices if it's a sad story, as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader. | 120 |
| Austin Mahone | I thought it would be cool to Skype with fans on their birthday and spend, like, a half-hour with them. I did a couple of two-hour Skypes. I just hang out with them and play songs and stuff. At first they're kind of shy, but after a while they open up. I've had a lot of people tell me I'm doing something no one has ever done before. | 120 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | I would really like to do a really cool one-hour show, maybe on, like, HBO or something like that; or something that I've spent a couple of years developing so it would be exactly the character and exactly in with a huge push behind it; or I would maybe want to do a sitcom; something light and funny. | 120 |
| Steve Harvey | I don't think it's cool for people to say, 'You shouldn't reference God because I don't believe that, and I don't want to hear it.' Well, there's a lot of stuff I don't believe that I still gotta hear. | 121 |
| Bob Newhart | I didn't know I was cool, but I was very flattered that some of the younger comedy writers came up to talk to me at the Emmys. I found that gratifying. | 121 |
| David Blaine | I don't think you can say something is or isn't magic. That's what was cool about Houdini, because he was a magician who had a magic show, but he was also an escape artist, and they kind of, over time, blended together. They both kind of enhance each other, I think. | 121 |
| Evan Davis | I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited, they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place, a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box. | 121 |
| Kathleen Hanna | Feminism rotates between backlash and interest. And the cool thing about the Internet is that it's allowing women more access to their own history. Part of the problem before the Internet was that we didn't know which books to read. Someone had to tell you. | 121 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | If I say I've got two versions of Word - that old one from 1982 that's perfect, with zero defects; or the new one that's got all this cool new stuff, but there might be a few bugs in it - people always want the new one. But I wouldn't want them to operate a plane I was on with software that happened to be the latest greatest release! | 121 |
| Orlando Bloom | Elves are cool, man. | 121 |
| Tom Felton | I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life, and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well, but you can't really pet them. | 121 |
| Tom Hardy | Fame and stuff like that is all very cool, but at the end of the day, we're all human beings. Although what I do is incredibly surreal and fun and amazing and I'm really grateful for it, I don't believe my own press release, do you know what I mean? | 121 |
| Tracy Morgan | Tracy Morgan is subdued. I'm cool. I'm chilled out. | 121 |
| Brittany Snow | I've worn my share of leopard pink boots to premieres or belts the size of cars. I thought my pink leopard boots were so cool. | 121 |
| Eric Alterman | More and more, Democrats are starting to worry they that they have a more um, colorful version of Jimmy Carter on their hands. Obama acts cool as a proverbial cucumber but that awful '70s show seems frightfully close to a rerun. | 121 |
| Georgia May Jagger | Roberto Cavalli is a great designer. The Just Cavalli brand is very sexy, young and cool. Each collection is very contemporary and colourful; it is clearly for the younger generation who wants to have a trendy look. It's the first fragrance that I have ever done, so it's a huge honour! | 121 |
| Kenneth R. Miller | We believe the ice sheet was not around all the time. It was only around during cool snaps of the climate. | 121 |
| Edwin Hubbel Chapin | The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant. | 121 |
| Rupert Grint | People recognize me, call me Ron, and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well. | 121 |
| Jane Seymour | It's interesting because a lot of my 16-year-old kids' friends know me from 'Wedding Crashers,' and not so much Bond. My kids have a good laugh. I was 20 then. The look I had then was the look that a lot of their friends are assuming now. They think it's cool. What goes around comes around. | 121 |
| Kristin Armstrong | I think, as most of us do, I put such high expectations on myself that this spills over onto other people. And not everyone is wired this way. Some people can shrug expectations off their shoulders like a cardigan, remaining cool and breezy. Others wear them like a parka with a stuck zipper, hot and stifling. | 122 |
| Lupe Fiasco | Reggae, oh man. It's the ultimate music. The positivity. The musicality. The whole cultural expressionism of it. The danceability. Just the cool factor. The melody factor. Some of it comes from a religious place. If there were a competition of who makes the best religious music, it would definitely be the Rastafarian reggae. | 122 |
| Patti Smith | The thing is, it's not uncool to worry about people who seem like they're going on the wrong path. There's nothing cool about being self-destructive. | 122 |
| Paul Dano | One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck's journals while he was writing 'East of Eden,' which was so cool. | 122 |
| Seth Shostak | Plate tectonics is not all havoc and destruction. The slow movement of continents and ocean floors recycles carbon dioxide dissolved in the oceans back into the atmosphere. Without this slow speed carbon cycle, Earth's temperatures would cool dozens of degrees below your comfort zone. | 122 |
| Shia LaBeouf | I'm a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character. | 122 |
| Thomas Frank | Maybe that first, gigantic deficit the Reaganites piled up was an accident, just a combination of deluded 'supply side' tax cuts and a huge bag of good stuff for the Pentagon. But pretty quickly conservatives discovered that deficits, when done correctly, did something really cool: deficits defunded the Left. | 122 |
| Tommy Hilfiger | I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to build some kind of lifestyle brand that was preppy and cool. | 122 |
| Ashley Tisdale | I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool; I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics! | 122 |
| Justin Bieber | It's cool when fans spend so much time making things for me. It means a lot. | 123 |
| Lady Gaga | Where I come from it was really unheard of to be at a party and someone says, 'What kind of music do you make?', and you say, 'Pop music.' You may as well have 'I'm not cool' stamped on your forehead. | 123 |
| Anne Hathaway | I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows? | 123 |
| Danica Patrick | In the Lamborghini I have to avoid certain roads because of pot holes, and there's nowhere to put my drink, no cup holder. And I'm not going to lie, it looks pretentious. I used to think it was cool to, like, drive it to dinner. Now? Like I really need to be looked at any more. | 123 |
| Etta James | Jazz took too much discipline. You have to come in at the right place, which is different than me singing the blues, where I can sing, 'Oh, baby,' if there's a pause in the melody. With jazz, you better leave that space open, or put in something real cool. | 123 |
| Frank Miller | I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean, he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite, but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic. | 123 |
| Miranda Lambert | Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know? | 123 |
| Theo James | I saw 'Captain America' in 3D. It's cool. I liked the beginning. It's a really good setup. | 123 |
| Donny Osmond | I was never considered cool throughout my teens: a very important time to be accepted by someone, especially your peers. Yes, I had all the screaming women, but the guys hated my guts. | 123 |
| Ezra Koenig | It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection. | 123 |
| Hoda Kotb | In New York City, you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you. | 123 |
| Kat Graham | I love to add '90s trends mixed with modern day pieces I find along my many travels. Like these cool fun hats from Europe I have. I love to collect different ones from every country. I have them from London to Brussels. | 123 |
| Rebel Wilson | When I was younger I did karate and martial arts, and I think it's really cool for girls to have those kinds of abilities. | 123 |
| Tatiana Maslany | It's always been my dream to just continually do really cool indie movies, character-driven stuff. I would love to do more theater on a larger scale. I'm just excited for the next thing that comes along that I'm salivating over. I think a little more guerrilla would be really exciting to me. | 123 |
| Kendrick Lamar | Sometimes you have the trends that's not that cool. You may have certain artists portraying these trends and don't really have that lifestyle, and then it gives off the wrong thing. And it becomes kinda corny after awhile. It's really about keeping hip-hop original and pushing away the corniness in it. | 124 |
| Taylor Swift | I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.' | 124 |
| Kevin Mitnick | As a young boy, I was taught in high school that hacking was cool. | 124 |
| Mike Tyson | I'm a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me. | 124 |
| Dave Chappelle | I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally. | 124 |
| Gerard Way | I had a couple of really cool friends when I was a kid, and we'd find cool music and movies and show them to each other. My friend Dennis had a copy of 'A Clockwork Orange' and he'd already seen it once, and he was like, 'We need to watch this.' I was sleeping over his house - and I think we were literally 15 - and we watched it. | 124 |
| Ian Somerhalder | I mean, there are some amazing storytelling being done on the small screen right now. That's what so cool about being in television right now. Studios, networks are starting to throw more resources, better writers, more production values... and to be part of that is awesome. | 124 |
| Lea Michele | I am an unconventional beauty. I grew up in a high school where if you didn't have a nose job and money and if you weren't thin, you weren't cool, popular, beautiful. I was always told that I wasn't pretty enough to be on television. | 124 |
| Nicolas Cage | Mike Myers as Austin Powers makes me laugh - that was genius - and Daffy Duck makes me laugh, but I like odd behavior. I don't like hip dialogue and one-liners and all that sort of cool, sophomoric comedy. It's just not for me. | 124 |
| Nikki Sixx | If your album sells, that's cool, more people find out about you, more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band. | 124 |
| Noel Gallagher | You've got to be strong enough for love. It's very easy to be cool and cynical. It's very difficult to just let yourself go and be in love. You've got to be strong enough for that. | 124 |
| Paul Walker | When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy. | 124 |
| Robert Downey, Jr. | I read the script for Wonder Boys, and I said that was almost perfect, it was so classy, cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it, it turned out good and a lot of people liked it. | 124 |
| Theo James | I've got two brothers and two sisters, so there's five of us and we're all very close, which is cool. | 124 |
| Avril Lavigne | It's been really fun to see with each album when I change to see the fans of the show emulate my style and with the first record a lot of the kids in the crowd were wearing neck ties like I was and now you'll see a lot of girls with pink hair. It's cool, it's actually really neat. | 124 |
| Dakota Fanning | That was really cool. I got to kiss a little boy. I was 7 and he was 10, and his name is Thomas Curtis. He was the first boy I've ever kissed in my entire life and he was three years older than me. | 124 |
| Tiesto | I think I'm commercial underground. I'm not commercial in the way that people consider 'pop,' but I'm not underground in the way that people consider that. either. I am just a cool guy. | 124 |
| Christina Milian | When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he's just really cool. | 124 |
| Joseph Butler | The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone; therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security, without which it would not be taken due care of. | 124 |
| J. B. Smoove | I'm afraid one thing - I don't like heights. Heights bug me out. I'm not cool with heights. I refuse to do a comedy show 12 stories up. I'm fearless about everything else. | 124 |
| Kid Cudi | The world that I am coming from, hip-hop, is so regurgitated and repetitive that some people are used to that and they don't want change, they don't like change. And I get that, that's cool. Luckily for me, I'm confident in myself as an artist where I can do what I want, and as long as I'm cool with it, I'm cool with it. | 125 |
| Conan O'Brien | Keep cool my babies. | 125 |
| Idina Menzel | The cool thing is that, unlike film, the theatre roles for women get better and better as you get older. | 125 |
| Lea Michele | But my main thing that I would love to see as a fan of 'Glee,' like I said, is to really get into the character and who they are and what they do outside of school. I think that that's interesting. And then of course the themed stuff and the album episodes are all really cool too. | 125 |
| Michael Phelps | It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening. | 125 |
| Miranda Hart | I think there are different kinds of comedians, and I prefer the clowns who are going: 'I'm an idiot, aren't we all a bit like this, laugh at me.' Whereas, a lot of other comedians are saying: 'Aren't I clever? You want to be me, aren't I cool? Revere me.' Which is fine. But that's not my bag. | 125 |
| Nick Woodman | My first business was a retro-gaming site where you'd go and play all these cool old-school games. It was a good idea but ahead of its time. | 125 |
| Tom Brady | People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want? | 125 |
| Zayn Malik | If you meet a girl, you meet a girl. It's normal, so if you exchange numbers, whatevs, it's cool. | 125 |
| Alexa Chung | I think it's cool that London Fashion Week is about young designers trying wacky things. | 125 |
| Jet Li | I have met Jackie Chan about 6 times up 'til now... and even though many people think we are natural enemies, I personally think he is a cool bloke and would honestly love to work with him in a film one time - that would a well brilliant movie! | 125 |
| Roxane Gay | Pink is my favourite colour. I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink - all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. | 125 |
| Cal Ripken, Jr. | I kept thinking, 'this must be the coolest job - I'd like to be a professional baseball player.' They were getting paid to play a game, and what a cool lifestyle that was. | 125 |
| Marcus Buckingham | People buy pads all the time, because they want to write stuff down. We're never going to get away from paper, ever. People like writing; that's why more people are writing more real thank-you notes now - not just to stand out, but because there's something about pen to paper, about holding something cool in your hands. | 125 |
| Ice Cube | I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young, but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills. | 126 |
| Dick Gregory | It's cool to be healthy. | 126 |
| Eddie Murphy | After all these years, I've done well and I'm cool. I feel comfortable in my skin, I've saved some paper, everybody's healthy, my kids are beautiful and smart, doing different things, it's all good. | 126 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | Death is staring too long into the burning sun and the relief of entering a cool, dark room. | 126 |
| Fergie | It's cool to express myself, but I've had to learn that doing interviews isn't completely therapy - spilling everything about yourself isn't healthy all the time. But I've been through things that have made me a stronger person, and if I can help some people, I will. | 126 |
| Heidi Klum | Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that's something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don't want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them. | 126 |
| Luke Evans | A guy's biggest style mistake is definitely trying to look too cool. As long as you've got a good pair of jeans, a good pair of boots and a few good shirts, you're fine. | 126 |
| Nick Cannon | The thing I adore about Mariah the most is she's probably the most nurturing person I've ever met, like one of those spirits that walks into the room and wants to make sure that everybody's okay and taken care of. For someone to be at her status but be so concerned about others is really cool. | 126 |
| Pierce Brosnan | Susanne Bier's work I've always really enjoyed. She's just such a great filmmaker; she's very cool and very sexy - that always helps, too. | 126 |
| Shia LaBeouf | What's cool is when you're able to give your audience imagination and you don't have to cage them in like animals. | 126 |
| Taylor Momsen | Edie Sedgwick had a cool style; she pushed the envelope for the time. | 126 |
| James Patterson | I'm a very good storyteller; I have a lot of compassion for people. That's very useful for a novelist. A lot of novelists are snots. They're just mean people. I'm not a terribly skilled stylist, nor do I want to be. I want a lot of people to read one of my stories and go, 'That was pretty cool.' | 126 |
| Mitch Kapor | For people who know both New York and the Bay Area, it is a complement to say that Oakland is San Francisco's Brooklyn. It's a complement both to Oakland and to Brooklyn. And, if you look at Brooklyn, Brooklyn is hot; Brooklyn is cool. | 126 |
| Jennifer Garner | In my teens, I was never part of the cool crowd. | 126 |
| Rupert Grint | I'd like to have the flying car, I think that'd be really cool. | 126 |
| Cara Delevingne | Of course, I loved the Spice Girls. I loved Geri and Baby, but who liked Posh Spice? They said I looked like her, and I said: 'That's not cool, that's really mean.' | 201 |
| Hugh Jackman | I once sang 'Summer Nights,' from 'Grease,' at a bar in Melbourne with John Travolta, who's a good friend of mine. He looked cool singing the part of Danny - sitting in an armchair, smoking a cigar - while I got stuck playing Sandy. | 201 |
| Kirsten Dunst | In high school I had a boyfriend who was super into rap, so I was into Too $hort and Wu-Tang for a little while. And my best friend's older brother would sometimes drive us home in this pimped-out truck, and he'd play all his dirty rap music. We thought we were really cool. | 201 |
| Norman Reedus | I think it's interesting to have a cool character not look so cool, you know? | 201 |
| Rihanna | I'd love to date somebody cool, fun, funny. | 201 |
| Ronda Rousey | I wear sunglasses almost all the time outside - not because I think I'm really, really cool, but because of the rays. | 201 |
| Steven Tyler | Now I'm way into suits that I can put on whether I took a shower or not, and wear barefoot and paint my toes black or whatever color the suit is. It's very cool to wear suits like that. Roll up the sleeves and just say yee-haw. | 201 |
| Tim Howard | I'm on television, ticcing and twitching. I think that's kind of cool. | 201 |
| Tom Felton | Draco's not really a bully. He's not exactly the biggest, strongest guy in the world. He's more a rich, snobby person. He thinks of himself as really cool. | 201 |
| Dominic Monaghan | I think a lot of young kids at school are very conscious of trying to keep credibility in case they kind of stand out in a crowd and get bullied by trying to stay cool and stuff. And my whole thing, all the way through school, was I was just a goof... I didn't care. | 201 |
| Margaret Chan | New diseases like SARS and bird flu cause anxiety in the community. People get worried, some to the extent that it even affects their health. You feel very sad, and yet you must carry on and maintain your cool in very trying and difficult moments. You have to tough it out. | 201 |
| Demetri Martin | I think it would be cool if you were writing a ransom note on your computer, if the paper clip popped up and said, 'Looks like you're writing a ransom note. Need help? You should use more forceful language, you'll get more money.' | 202 |
| Brendon Urie | I've always wanted to do a cutesy little song with a guy and girl singing back and forth and thought that Regina Spektor would be kind of cool for that. I love her voice. She's an amazing musician. | 202 |
| Jean-Claude Van Damme | It looks good when you see someone kicking at the age of 51 with no double. It's kinda cool for people to know that past 50 we can keep flexible. | 202 |
| John Mayer | I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool. | 202 |
| Keke Palmer | Working with Ice Cube was so tight. He's cool, and I really like how he does family stuff. My guy friends couldn't believe I was chillin' with him. Dudes love Ice Cube. | 202 |
| Matthew McConaughey | There's a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps. What's the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it's exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That's really cool. That's the biggest signifier of closing the gaps. | 202 |
| Tom Waits | As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time. | 202 |
| Janet Jackson | Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool. | 202 |
| Amy Grant | Come Christmas Eve, we usually go to my mom and dad's. Everybody brings one gift and then we play that game when we all steal it from each other. Some are really cool, others are useful and some are a bit out there. | 203 |
| Blake Lively | So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life. | 203 |
| Britney Spears | When you tour, it's so hard on the body. Being in one place is cool. It's a more stable environment. | 203 |
| Dee Dee Myers | Part of Obama's persona is self-reliance. He's calm; he's cool; he's self-possessed. In many ways, he has tried to define himself in opposition to Clinton's sometimes needy, often undisciplined, emotionalism. | 203 |
| Kesha | A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert, and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me, then makes it into clothes. I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs, I'd feel honored. | 203 |
| Quentin Crisp | Manners are love in a cool climate. | 203 |
| Shia LaBeouf | I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it. | 203 |
| Zac Efron | Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that. | 203 |
| Britney Spears | Justin Timberlake is everything, and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me, and that's cool. | 204 |
| Drew Barrymore | I loved the world of roller derby because I thought it was such an empowering metaphor, that you get out there and do it. It's such a rocker, athletic, capable, cool exhibitionist sport; it's about this great sort of camaraderie. | 204 |
| Lea Michele | I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do. | 204 |
| LL Cool J | I don't wanna abandon my identity as LL Cool J, but at the same time, I had to figure out how to let people know that I'm really serious about making these movies. | 204 |
| Mel Gibson | Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do. | 204 |
| Roger Federer | For me, it's important that a fan can buy something that is related to me. Like in soccer, you buy a shirt and it's got somebody's name on the back. That's kind of a cool thing. | 204 |
| Christopher Meloni | It is a weird feeling to have people go, 'Hey Chris' like they know me. But, number one, 99 percent of my experiences have been really cool. People couldn't be nicer and more positive. | 204 |
| Jay-Z | Growing up, politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama's camp, and Obama himself, reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We've sat and had dinner, and we've spoken on the phone. He's a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool. | 205 |
| Britney Spears | The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff. | 205 |
| Hunter Hayes | There is a bit of a movement as far as younger people in country music. That is cool because people are saying things like, 'I didn't listen to country music until so-and-so came along.' And I'm like, 'Yeah! Now you know why I love it.' | 205 |
| Luke Bryan | I would like to be a heart surgeon or brain surgeon... something with that knowledge and the ability to save a life would be pretty cool. I wasn't that good in science class, though. | 205 |
| Nathan Fillion | Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better. | 205 |
| Tyler, The Creator | To me, Sid Vicious is cool. Super chill. | 205 |
| Zooey Deschanel | I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, 'It'd be cool to have a traditional college experience.' Then I was like, 'Oh, but none of these people understand what's cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.' | 205 |
| Paula Abdul | The cool part of being an entertainer is getting the opportunity to get your feet wet in all areas. | 205 |
| Steve Vai | A lot of those little things that I really like doing are just moments of cool articulation, just little moments of phrasing that probably go over everybody's head. | 205 |
| Selena Gomez | My perfect guy wears converse, is totally laid back, and doesn't worry about being cool. | 206 |
| Woody Harrelson | I remember my first run-in with cops. It took me really getting to hang, well after that, with cops who were cool, and realizing, 'Okay, there are some bad ones.' I ran into some bad ones in Columbus, Ohio, but they're not all bad. | 206 |
| Selena Gomez | Being cool, having a 'cool' energy is just not attractive to me. | 207 |
| Britney Spears | I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore. | 207 |
| Mark McKinnon | Every day I am being told to sign up for Tumblr, Yammer, Friendfeed, Plaxo, Last.fm, ping.fm or the hot social-media tool du jour that happened to get mentioned on Mashable.com. It is like a social-media arms race. Each one of these new tools is like a cool new night club. Hot today, gone tomorrow, replaced with something else. | 207 |
| Shia LaBeouf | They're very, uh, you know, I don't come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they're cool and bare minimum so it's not always a money issue for me. | 207 |
| Ed Sheeran | Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs. | 208 |
| Enrique Iglesias | I go from English to Spanish, and I feel I have some cool songs. | 208 |
| Marcus Samuelsson | In the hot summer months, popsicles are a perfect way to cool down while enjoying a delicious, fruity treat. Frozen, refreshing, mouth-friendly candy on a stick cannot get any better... or can it? | 208 |
| Randy Pausch | Pretty much any time I got a chance to do something cool, I tried to grab for it, and that's where my solace comes from. | 208 |
| Roger Federer | I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis. | 208 |
| Russell Simmons | You know, the diversity that America has is so special. It's starting to really become a cool thing for young people. | 208 |
| Wiz Khalifa | People connect with me just as a cool, around-the-way type of guy. | 208 |
| Matthew Perry | I would love to have kids one day. In fact, I'm pretty good with them. I grew up with five half-siblings, the youngest of whom is 11 years younger than me, so I think I learned some pretty cool parenting skills quite early on in life. | 208 |
| Rob Sheffield | Big Star invented a vision of bohemian rock & roll cool that had nothing to do with New York, Los Angeles or London, which made them completely out of style in the 1970s, but also made them an inspiration to generations of weird Southern kids. | 208 |
| Lady Gaga | I'm doing everything that I can, working with experts, really studying the statistics to figure out a way we can make it cool or normal to be kind and loving. | 209 |
| Kristen Stewart | I really, specifically, love acting, and I think it's a really cool thing to be really indulgent and follow that. I have a lot of ambitions in life, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. That's a lucky opportunity, and that drives me to want to be good at that. | 209 |
| Lea Michele | I really felt like I finally made it. Having your first fake pregnancy rumor. It was really awesome. I feel like it's part of what happens in this business, but that's a real one. That's a cool one to get. | 209 |
| Nikki Sixx | Nothing that Robert Plant does will ever equal Led Zeppelin, but that doesn't mean he's going to stop being creative. Jimmy Page has so many incredibly cool projects, but it's not Led Zeppelin; there will only ever be one Led Zeppelin. | 209 |
| Bernie Mac | I don't care about how I look; I'm dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so - my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn't care about being cool. | 211 |
| Ian Mckellen | I have got prostate cancer, and I have to keep monitoring that. It's no problem, it's under control and I'm very cool about it, but other people are dying from it. | 211 |
| Patton Oswalt | Everything we have today that's cool comes from someone wanting more of something they loved in the past. Action figures, videogames, superhero movies, iPods: All are continuations of a love that wanted more. | 211 |
| Suzanne Somers | For years I have been going to the South of France to cool out. | 211 |
| Amy Lee | I love contrast in music. Being inspired by classical, actually - in high school especially - classical and metal both, I remember having this cool realization that they are really similar. It's just different instrumentation. | 211 |
| Beth Ditto | All this fashion stuff - who's cool now - is just a bigger version of the cool kids versus the nerds. | 212 |
| Lenny Kravitz | For the last few years, it's been so chic for everybody to be miserable. Like if you're in with the cool crowd, you can't be happy. | 212 |
| Tyra Banks | I don't go to the cool, trendy restaurants. I go to either the holes in the wall or the super-fancy restaurants where there are no cool people. | 212 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | I met Elijah Wood once, I met Peter Jackson, I met Orlando Bloom, and they're all really cool. | 213 |
| Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | I haven't took no punishment. There's nothing cool about taking punishment. | 213 |
| Zlatan Ibrahimovic | Jose Mourinho is a big star... he's cool. | 213 |
| Joss Whedon | It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade. | 213 |
| Marc Jacobs | Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice. | 213 |
| Todd Barry | It's cool to go to a place that has posters up and it's one night only. It feels more special. | 213 |
| Noel Gallagher | I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John. | 214 |
| Trey Parker | If we have a great idea, we'll go, 'Oh, this could be a cool movie.' Or really for us, it's more like, 'Oh, this is a really bad idea. Let's do this. This seems really stupid.' | 214 |
| Josh Homme | I'm always looking for cool stuff to do because that's what we're supposed to do, ya know? | 214 |
| Chris Martin | I don't mind not being cool. | 215 |
| Michio Kaku | When I was a child, it was cool to be a scientist. | 215 |
| Nikki Sixx | I just think if I can go from being a homeless kid with a dream of being in the biggest band in the world and making that happen, I can do a lot of other cool stuff, too. | 215 |
| Taylor Momsen | The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all. | 215 |
| Vivienne Westwood | The reason why I am proud of my part in the punk movement is that I think it really did implant a message that was already there. The hippies told it to me, but punk made it something cool for people to stand up for, which is that we do not believe government, that we are against government. | 216 |
| Anna Kendrick | My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that. | 216 |
| Bear Grylls | Americans are cool; if you show just a chink of vulnerability, they respond so much. They'll pat you on the arm and say, 'Hey kid, you're all right.' Brits will respond but they are much more cynical. | 217 |
| Emma Stone | At first, when you go to premieres and award shows, you're thinking, 'How the hell am I here? All these people I've never met are here, and it's so cool!' And then, as time goes on, it's a little bit like, 'Ah... it's more like work.' | 217 |
| Ziggy Marley | I have a satellite radio show called 'The Legends of Reggae.' It's a cool way to branch out and do other things. I'm paying respect to the legends of reggae. | 217 |
| Julian Baggini | When you try to cool down hot emotions, what tends to happen is that you end up either repressing them or losing them altogether. Neither is desirable. Without emotion, much social interaction loses its meaning or changes for the worse. | 218 |
| Dave Barry | The simple truth is that balding African-American men look cool when they shave their heads, whereas balding white men look like giant thumbs. | 219 |
| Dwayne Johnson | But being on location and shooting, whether its in Puerto Rico or Atlanta, it always reminds me of how really cool my job can be. Interacting with the fans is one of the best parts of it. | 219 |
| Neil Patrick Harris | Mmmmmmmm. Anderson. He's dreamy. Just dreamy. I've been a fan of his since season 1 of 'The Mole.' I just thought he was so cool when he talked in this cool, low, secret-agent voice. | 219 |
| Taylor Momsen | My legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs. | 219 |
| Ryan Reynolds | Making a mix CD - albeit slightly old school - is generally a pretty cool gift and something I like to receive, or giving someone a book that moved you. Writing an inscription inside makes it even better. | 220 |
| Drake | I'm cool with Jay-Z. Jay-Z is genuinely my friend. | 221 |
| Karl Rove | And not only that, I also have the MacBook Air which is really cool. Even my wife is jealous of my MacBook Air. | 221 |
| Steve Carell | Maybe the coolest people are the ones who don't care about being cool. | 221 |
| Julian Casablancas | L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car. | 221 |
| George Clooney | After a while, you just want transportation, and things like cool cars or motorcycles are all about getting attention. I get all the attention I could ever need, so I kind of like being in a minivan and people not paying so much attention to me. | 222 |
| Ovid | The high-spirited man may indeed die, but he will not stoop to meanness. Fire, though it may be quenched, will not become cool. | 222 |
| David Lynch | I love Bob Dylan. Who doesn't? He tapped into some kind of vein and it keeps on keeping on. There's nobody like him. He's unique, and just... way out cool. | 223 |
| Ed Sheeran | I met Bill Clinton; he's a very nice guy. Yeah, Bill Clinton's cool. | 223 |
| Tom Hanks | Tweeting is like sending out cool telegrams to your friends once a week. | 223 |
| Prince | Technology is cool, but you've got to use it as opposed to letting it use you. | 224 |
| J. Cole | Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time - it's very routine. I'm not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it's cool; it's good for me. | 224 |
| Katy Perry | I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus. | 224 |
| Jeff Bezos | People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it's cool. | 225 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | My goal was never to make Facebook cool. I am not a cool person. | 226 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me. | 226 |
| Serena Williams | I've thought it would be cool to have a baby young. You know, be my road dog - like my dogs, they travel the world - but there's always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for it? | 226 |
| Vin Diesel | You get a timeless cool card in New York. | 226 |
| Ice Cube | 'Boyz-n-the-Hood' was actually supposed to be written for Eazy's group. He had a group out in New York called Home Boys Only, called HBO. One of them looked like LL Cool J. Eazy wanted to write a song for them, a street song, like what we were doing on the mix tapes. So when I wrote it, it was too West Coast for them. | 301 |
| Drew Barrymore | I remember being on film sets when I was younger, and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought, 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too,' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me. | 301 |
| Tina Fey | I think part of picking where you live in New York is accepting who you are. Really looking at yourself and going, 'Yeah, I'm not cool enough for the West Village.' | 301 |
| David Lynch | I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool! | 302 |
| Hunter Hayes | I'm not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool. | 303 |
| Sean Combs | I got a chance to have my dream come true, and I wanted to make sure I made the decision as to when I dropped my last album. If I don't feel like this album is an incredible piece of work, then I'm cool with the albums I've done. I don't have to put out another album. | 303 |
| Drew Barrymore | My mother used to dress rather risque when I was a kid, and that sort of shocked me. I always thought moms were supposed to wear cardigans and flats, but she was in leather bracelets and minidresses. In hindsight, it was pretty cool, but I'm probably more conservative because of it. | 304 |
| Zac Efron | Personally, I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm. | 309 |
| Gary Oldman | And of course I've got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip. | 310 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I'm from Iowa, we don't know what cool is! | 312 |
| Drew Barrymore | I remember being on film sets when I was younger, and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought, 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff, too,' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels'. | 313 |
| Angelina Jolie | All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough. | 315 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | A lot of people are focused on taking over the world or doing the biggest thing and getting the most users. I think part of making a difference and doing something cool is focusing intensely. | 315 |
| Seth Shostak | If you could drive straight down, into a tunnel bored through the crust of the planet, you'd hit this molten mess in about an hour. It's called the asthenosphere - a sluggish sea, several hundred miles thick, on which floats the Earth's cool epidermis - the so-called tectonic plates. | 316 |
| Ernest Hemingway | When I am working on a book or a story, I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you, and it is cool or cold, and you come to your work and warm as you write. | 319 |
| Carrie Underwood | An Oklahoma girl like me wouldn't even know how to be a diva. I'm just a person who has a cool job. I love to be at home. I rarely go to clubs... and I always wear underwear! I just know I'd fall down, and that's not for everyone to see. | 319 |
| Orlando Bloom | The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean? | 320 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | The nerds are the ones that make the films and do loads of other really cool stuff in their life. | 324 |
| Bill Gates | I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool. | 325 |
| Taylor Swift | I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.' | 326 |
| Taylor Swift | It never mattered to me that people in school didn't think that country music was cool, and they made fun of me for it - though it did matter to me that I was not wearing the clothes that everybody was wearing at that moment. But at some point, I was just like, 'I like wearing sundresses and cowboy boots.' | 401 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. | 413 |
| Elon Musk | I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I've got kids and responsibilities, so I can't be my own test pilot. That wouldn't be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it's a sensible thing to do. | 416 |
| Elon Musk | Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that. | 501 |
| Henry Rollins | In Israel, there's a lot to learn from anyone, because to live there you've got to deal with the truth. Things happen real fast. Your day goes from cool to catastrophic in one second. Israelis know that the cafe you're in could blow up, or the shopping mall, and they rock that. | 507 |
| David Bowie | I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs - that's where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that's very cool. | 512 |
| Taylor Swift | The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that's powerful. | 520 |
| Henry Rollins | Most Americans are very cool people. | 523 |
| Henry Rollins | I hate painting with a broad brush, but I think the birther thing, at its root, is racist. The guy was born in Hawaii. A black guy is president. It's cool. Get over it. Just deal with it. There's nothing you could show these birther people that would shut them up. | 604 |
| Taylor Swift | If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it's cool that happens. | 606 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | Horses and horsepower alike are about status and being cool. | 607 |
| Henry Rollins | America was cool with Saddam Hussein when he was killing Iranians. | 611 |
| Henry Rollins | I wonder what it's like to be from a state that is spread across a few islands way out in the Pacific Ocean, only added to the United States in 1959. Not only that but to be the birthplace of America's first black president? Pretty cool, I bet. | 617 |
| Henry Rollins | I am not immune to the lure of a signed record, flier or set list. The fact that your music heroes potentially had, in their own hands, the record you now have in yours is kind of cool. When the musician has departed, it can give the thing a unique power. | 622 |
| Henry Rollins | I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records, not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys, and they seem really cool. | 1223 |
