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.

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!

You actually don't want people thinking your product is cool because then you're a fad.

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.

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 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!

The pop world is cool but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that actually.

I actually use a computer a lot. I have three computers that I use on a regular basis - one is on my desk top in my Washington office another is at home and I have my laptop that I use when I'm travelling.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online was using the chess club mainly. Now obviously the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.

My e-mail address is actually my wife's e-mail address. I actually hate computers.

It seems like everything that we see perceived in the brain before we actually use our own eyes that everything we see is coming through computers or machines and then is being input in our brain cells. So that really worries me.

I've never had Internet access. Actually I have looked at things on other people's computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I've opened email accounts twice actually but it's something I don't want in my life right now.

I know so many people who actually just watch television on their computers now and don't even really watch their TV anymore.

I get hired to hack into computers now and sometimes it's actually easier than it was years ago.

The real story of Facebook is just that we've worked so hard for all this time. I mean the real story is actually probably pretty boring right? I mean we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But you know I mean the real story of Facebook is just that we've worked so hard for all this time. I mean the real story is actually probably pretty boring right? I mean we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

In this great age of communication there a lot of people you can't actually understand. I know everyone tweets and twits and texts and all that but actually we've all got voices and it is awfully nice to hear them and if you can understand what people are saying.

Without television and mass communication that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.

Well... I had braces and I had to wear headgear! I loved my braces actually. For me they were like a piece of jewelry! Instead of the silver or pewter I had gold braces. It was so much fun I loved them. I got to change the colors and stuff and I had the rubber bands.

On the political front of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions you bring 10 women in then it's 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy the number of chairs can actually increase.

If you actually want to change your world there is a better way of doing it than blowing yourself up.

I know how bad Albany is. I know it better than most. I understand why people are angry. I'm angry. The question is going to be how do you change Albany what is the plan for change and then how do you actually get it done?

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.
