It is only through labor and painful effort by grim energy and resolute courage that we move on to better things.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.

I'm cool with where I'm at. It's certain things I wanna do to be better but I'm good.

There aren't many things that are universally cool and it's cool not to litter. I'd never do it.

I've won some pretty cool things in my life and I have a lot of great titles.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.

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.

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.

To me it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.

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.

When things are really good really easy it's not cool for me.

The name Crow was inspired by a number of things. I thought it would be cool to have a robot with sort of a Native American feel to it.

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.

I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things.

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.

We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO and Middle Earth and they were great because they would have on things like a poet string quartets and then a rock band! It was kinda cool!

I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene.

He's a guy's guy so it pretty much became like the impressions - don't imitate Sean Connery's voice and things like that. We were all kind of doing it towards the end of the film anyway and he was cool with it.
