The great thing about it is in Hollywood certain people are very good at keeping their lives and who they are very private. I've never met anybody as down to earth and cool in Hollywood than Matt Damon.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film and made to look so cool and so sexy but violence is a repulsive repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy ever really.

They're a different generation those kids kids that are under the age of twelve. They're not that impressed by rock music you know what I mean? They're like it's cool and everything but whatever. They're just as impressed by YouTube.

I'm not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It's a great cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but hey so can Charles Dickens so I'm not going to judge.

Now there is so much expertise and brainpower it's hard to be at the cutting edge of what's cool and not do something that's totally geeky.

I have no control over people's perceptions of me at all and that's one of the things I decided very early on is that I can't control the way other people think of me. All I can do especially when it comes to my career is go out there and do cool unique kinds of things.

I feel like people start to believe things that people say about them and start to think they're really important. If you have a family that is down to earth and cool I don't see how you can be like that.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge and people will watch anything funny.

The downright fanatic is nearer to the heart of things than the cool and slippery disputant.

Now guitar was pretty cool. Everybody knew something on the guitar. So I wanted to play guitar but I told my dad if he wanted me to keep studying something I'd like to study piano.

For me everything is cool.

It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums because there's some kind of connection.

I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me.

There's kind of a cool feel that happens every now and then. I guess that feel is the thing that makes the score its own score. But I don't know exactly what that is. So it's hard for me to answer that question.

I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me that's embarrassing but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing very cool.

If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

My dad was kind of a pool shark and had a Frank Sinatra Dean Martin thing going on. I've always been fascinated by the fifties because of him. There was a hip cool anything-goes atmosphere back then but looking good was still a priority.

'Ludacris' is something that I made up. It just kind of describes me. Sometimes I have like a split personality. Sometimes I'm cool calm and collected and other times I'm beyond crazy.

Everything you listen to when you are 17 should be embarrassing otherwise you are way too cool.

But this is Miami you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool.

It's just cool for a girl to be able to do her own thing. I do a lot of movies and I'm very lucky and I'm not complaining. But in movies alongside big action men we've always got to take a step back and let the men shine.

I don't like reading things that people say on the Internet because I know so much of it is not true. I don't want to waste my time worrying about what other people are thinking. I just want to focus on being able to do cool projects.

Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing.
