The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.

I am surprised by how not-adopted the video reply has been. What keeps other people from doing it I think is that they think a video comes across as 'I'm cool look at how many e-mails I get.' That perception doesn't scare me because I know who I am.

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.

I think it's really cool that there are people like Adele on the cover of 'Vogue' and 'Rolling Stone ' and like I think it's really important that people are talking about your body because if they don't then you'll never be able to break that barrier.

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.

'Sparkle' fell into my lap. I had heard a little bit about it that it was being redone in early 2011. I was just kind of like 'Oh that would be really cool ' and not really thinking too much about it and then it came through my agency. I read it I fell in love with the script and I went in to audition.

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.

I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say and channel that through your character.

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.

I was trying to break out of the suburbs and when I did break out I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.

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.

There aren't many poster children for cool angst. Everybody thinks it's cool if you're the bad girl.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.'

I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

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.

It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing because I think in general as a human being I'm pessimistic and introverted. But it's cool because it's a whole different side of me and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself.

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.

I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don't know why. I don't think she necessarily looks like me or acts like me I just think she's a cool actress and she could play me so there you go.

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.

I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing then I think it's cool.
