You show up in Paris and on the drive from the airport to the hotel you're like 'This is so cool! I want to see something! I want to go to the Eiffel Tower!' And then you leave the next morning. You think Oh I didn't get to do anything. I tell people: I've been just about everywhere but I've seen nothing.

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

You know you grow up with the image of John Travolta being super cool - 'Saturday Night Fever ' Brian De Palma handsome young god... he in reality is a very silly man. And I mean that in a good way. He'll walk around the set talking in little weird voices making people laugh.

The band feels loose in all the right ways and it's just so cool looking out and seeing all of these people that I haven't seen in a while.

For a long time the people at my shows were sort of the Pantera-tattoo trucker guys really cool dudes but I don't know what happened to them. That's the crowd that I like the ones that don't get so offended just to be offended.

People recognize me call me Ron and ask me questions. It's really cool and weird as well.

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.

If your album sells that's cool more people find out about you more people get turned on to what we're really about-which is a live rock and roll band.

Man I love the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies but they are so cool.

I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries to explore. My life experience came from watching movies TV and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool places that seem interesting people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.

I think it's really cool but Jimmy Eat World and Gin Blossoms did it better than anyone. People don't realize just how awesome the Arizona history is especially for alternative music. Growing up that's all I ever wanted to be was those two bands.

All this stuff is so mind-blowing to me that I get to do in my life. Throwing the first pitch out at the White Sox game on a random Wednesday? Like who am I? How did I get this life? I'm glad I'm not jaded and little kids are the least jaded people in the entire world so it's fun to be around people that still find wonder in how cool things are.

When people recognise me they just kind of go 'Hi how are you ' really kind of cool you know.

You make your first album you make some money and you feel like you still have to show face like 'I still go to the projects.' I'm like why? Your job is to inspire people from your neighborhood to get out. You grew up there. What makes you think it's so cool?

Growing up politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama's camp and Obama himself reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We've sat and had dinner and we've spoken on the phone. He's a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool.

It's always cool to meet people who can do things that you have no capacity to do.

Our career is a dream. I mean we get to act travel around the world and meet cool people. What's not to love!

Period costume films are fun to discover but they're not relatable. It's more 'Wow that's cool - did it really look like that back then?' Whereas with a comedy you're like 'Yeah that's me that's my friends.' No matter what I want people to relate.

I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex and all the popular kids and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately.

I've noticed that once you leave London you do kind of become a bit more famous. People in London are a bit too cool for school. It's not so unusual to see someone from London in the street. But outside of London people are a bit more excited to see you and come out and support you.

It's cool to express myself but I've had to learn that doing interviews isn't completely therapy - spilling everything about yourself isn't healthy all the time. But I've been through things that have made me a stronger person and if I can help some people I will.

I really wanted to do something positive on the Internet. I wanted to try to get young people talking about thinking about life's big questions-make it cool and OK to wonder about the heart the soul and free will and God and death and big topics like that big human topics.

In my mind as long as I did what was right for me I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.
