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.

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.

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.

There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career which is pretty cool too.

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.

When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.' That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the 'Harry Potter' commercial which was really cool but I didn't play Harry Potter.

They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

I was training more learning how to scuba dive which I'd never done which was really really really cool.

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.

Some of the hip-hop stuff people get into is exciting because there's a passion and there's something to explain to a more mainstream audience so you get these passionate writers who want to express their love for rap and hip-hop which is cool.

I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time.

I jumped off a cliff backwards for 'I Am Number Four ' which was pretty cool. I'd never done that before. It took seven takes from different angles and luckily there were no injuries. I came close though. My head nearly hit the rock at one point.

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.

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.

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.

For electronica music David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain which is pretty cool.

I never felt cool growing up. I was a bit of an outsider but I discovered theatre very early on which got me through.

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands which I'm cool with I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.

In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped ' I focus on neural implants.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What's weird is that I work with these directors and then I start channeling them. I kind of turn into them a bit - which is cool when you're working with Clint Eastwood.
