I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter ' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish we should be thankful for them.

I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now because they make things happen.

I think there is a difference between Slate and Salon. I think we both serve important functions on the Internet. As more and more Websites disappear I'm thankful Slate is still around because it makes things less lonely.

I get along very well with the cast of '30 Rock.' I guess I bring a certain quirkiness to the show as well. I'm just thankful they keep asking me. I didn't think I was going to be asked back so every time they say 'We want you back ' I'm screaming. I'm jumping up and down and screaming.

I'm thankful for my songs being at the top of the charts but I am human - I think people still have to remember that.

Even now when I try and think of band names just randomly I'm so thankful that 'fun.' is the name of the band. I never really think twice about it. It is so simple and so easy.

Honestly I never thought I'd actually be playing a teen lesbian. I didn't think it was going to go this far. But I'm glad that it did because there have been a lot of fans who have expressed that they've been going through similar situations in their lives.

I did work at a mall in college - I think retail/customer service is just one of the most hideous jobs in the world. So I always try to be extra nice when I go into a store. But malls are part of our culture if you watched any teen comedy in the '80s. it's clear that malls are where we live!

I don't think there's a problem with being a teen idol if that happens to me I'll be happy to deal with it.

I see it as more of a teenage activity than you know she's only 11 but you know I think it's great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music.

Yes but I don't think of the Teen Angel as of an age.

I think I am too old to be doing teen movies. I am just kind of annoyed because you have all these teen movies coming out with usually either Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Duff doing four of the exact teen movies over and over again.

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money but I'm very picky.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies you're a teen idol by default.

I had teen angst for a while but I think every teenager has the angst.

I think there are worse things for a teen to be enraptured with than 'Twilight.'

I definitely think there could be stricter teen driving laws.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager especially and especially in the society we live in.

I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in with kids and adults they are often on two different universes.

You have teenagers thinking they're going to make millions as NBA stars when that's not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or engineer is.

I don't think people buy technology products because of the personalities of the people behind them.

But I don't think we'll go there until we go back to the moon and develop a technology base for living and working and transporting ourselves through space.

I wanted to be a pilot. I loved flying and I loved all the technology and the equipment and the sense of adventure that came with it. I think that feeling still bleeds over into everything I do today.
