I don't think I really know just how cool Satan really was when I was in Junior High School. Now thanks to Marilyn Manson it's no longer a secret.

I once owned a really really ugly pair of white leather boots. They were so bad. It was back in the '80s! It was just a really tacky fashion choice when I was in middle school and I thought it was cool. I'm really embarrassed.

In my school people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look if they're cool they get respect.

My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school this giant black kid with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

In high school I was an outcast... I wasn't cool to hang out with. I ate my lunch in a bathroom stall because that was the one place I could go where I wouldn't been seen.

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

Even in high school I had friends that I didn't know were gay until years later. I'd find out on Facebook or something and be like 'Oh that explains some things ' or 'Wow no wonder they were so cool.'

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.

I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.

But my main thing that I would love to see as a fan of 'Glee ' like I said is to really get into the character and who they are and what they do outside of school. I think that that's interesting. And then of course the themed stuff and the album episodes are all really cool too.

Orlando's a really cool guy. They hired him for 'Lord of the Rings' out of drama school. He's very new at this still and doesn't have a lot of experience. So we were in this together and we've tried to help each other out. We felt very equal which was good.

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.

And of course I've got kids of my own now and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.

When I entered high school I was an A-student but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.

In early high school years I was pretty chubby and I spent a lot of time on my computer before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality.

As a young boy I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.

I've never been one of the cool people at school but then again I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them it's just that they don't interest me.

Well I had a lot of help from my father with the soldering and so on and he was very good at math and was fascinated with computers and so I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of exposure going all the way back to high school - this was in the 1960s.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

We have an epidemic of sexual predators following our children whether it be on the computers whether it be in our public parks whether it be in the workplace or even our schools.

When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.

I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.

Today most young women are exposed to technology at a very young age with mobile phones tablets the Web or social media. They are much more proficient with technology than prior generations since they use it for all their school work communication and entertainment.
