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.

Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh but the way they carry themselves how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it that's what makes it cool.

I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.

I read the script for Wonder Boys and I said that was almost perfect it was so classy cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

Justin Timberlake is everything and what more could you want in a person? He's funny. He's cute. He's great. He just understands. I get him and he gets me and that's cool.

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.

I'm obsessed with the 1920s everything from the style to the lifestyle. It was a really cool era.

What is more important than the name is that people know that I really like acting I enjoy it and I want people to know that I am serious. The name thing: I will always be L.L. Cool J.

I haven't took no punishment. There's nothing cool about taking punishment.

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.

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.

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 mean I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just they are crazy they are just like yes well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.

What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.

Maybe that first gigantic deficit the Reaganites piled up was an accident just a combination of deluded 'supply side' tax cuts and a huge bag of good stuff for the Pentagon. But pretty quickly conservatives discovered that deficits when done correctly did something really cool: deficits defunded the Left.

When I was kid I remember playing 'Vogue' by Madonna over and over and over again. And ah you know something about the beat was really cool and Madonna visually was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.

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'm not a movie star. People know me but they don't necessarily know what they know me for. I get recognised but it's not like Justin Bieber. It's a nice thing people are cool.

The funny thing is the girls that I'm always up against for roles are pretty nice and cool like Emma Watson. She's awesome.

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.

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. That's a lucky opportunity and that drives me to want to be good at that.

When I come home and I'm tired from filming all day I expect her to be there and make sure everything is cool for me. You know like drawing my bath and helping me into bed.

My friends are people who like building cool stuff. We always have this joke about people who want to just start companies without making something valuable. There's a lot of that in Silicon Valley.
