Even within the last three or four years I have a greater ability to communicate I think. I have more courage to show the stuff... And it does take courage.

Throughout the years many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.

I admired Eugene McCarthy's courage and although I left his Senate staff after four years to accept a job as the researcher on the editorial page of the 'Washington Post ' I remained an admirer.

Grave was the man in years in looks in word his locks were grey yet was his courage green.

I started to send my work to journals when I was 26 which was just a question of when I got the courage up. They were mostly journals I had been reading for the previous six or seven years.

Courage! I have shown it for years think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?

The alternative scene for a couple years now has been taken seriously and that's a cool thing. I don't think it's exploded or anything but I think it's pretty cool that it still exists it's still affecting people.

Dinosaurs was a cool idea but we just couldn't find a way to make it really fun. We've got a bunch of great game ideas that we want to bring to life over the next several years.

I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try. The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool.

I have this desire to just while away weeks months and years. It took me two years to make this record but that was with me trying to condense my process and not disappear down the rabbit hole with all the cool things I've collected. I could take 10 years and not explore everything I want to with these instruments.

Thirty years ago we were in a movie theater and thought it was so cool because we were finally delivered from the horrors of stained glass and wooden pews.

My first three years of high school I wasn't that cool.

When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.' That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the 'Harry Potter' commercial which was really cool but I didn't play Harry Potter.

They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

Ten years ago it was really difficult for a young actress to walk onto a set and disagree with the director and having that be OK and have a conversation about it and everyone be cool with it.

I have been in teen shows for years so doing that stuff - kissing - is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.

I don't think a show's ever changed networks in the middle of the season before but it was cool because they gave us those extra couple years of life that was necessary to get us to syndication.

For years I have been going to the South of France to cool out.

That was really cool. I got to kiss a little boy. I was 7 and he was 10 and his name is Thomas Curtis. He was the first boy I've ever kissed in my entire life and he was three years older than me.

I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was.

If a musician wants to be an actor everyone thinks that's pretty cool. But if an actor wants to play a song even if they've been doing it for 40 years that's bad news.

When I left Europe in 1987 I did so with the thought that my relevance as a composition teacher would benefit from a certain cool distance to certain tendencies I had been observing for several years with increasing disquiet.

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.'

As tempting as it seems to wear tennis shoes with your tux don't do it. I think it looks ridiculous. If you're 14 years old maybe give it a shot. In general don't portray anything that says 'I'm too cool and I don't care.'
