When it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. That's what crossover is.

They have not had the campaigns that we had.
Patrick BerginYes, okay, it's cool to be quirky, maybe, on the side. Do some puzzles, make puzzles, whatever, learn how to ride a unicycle. That's cool when it's on the side and you have a plan.

Demetri MartinIf you're recording the song on your four-track in your kitchen, when you finished writing the song, you're recording, and it's cool, and honor that. And maybe that's the version that should be released. And if you're recording the song again, it shouldn't be because there's a version you love that you're chasing. It should be because "You know what? I made a recording, but I don't love it emotionally." So, okay, then record again. And be in it and take advantage of the buzz and energy of "I'm getting to record right now!" It's such a beautiful and cool privilege.

I was sleeping over his house - and I think we were literally 15 - and we watched it.
Gerard WayLong before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time.

I know a lot of people have mixed comments about her, but I think she's a rad person. She's just focused on what she's doing, as an actress, and she wants to pick the right roles, and she's committed to her craft. She's really cool. We got along. There weren't any tensions or anything.

It's just what I am.

Well, it's possible my mom could stand up in front of this many people and talk about all the crap in her life and those people could have sat around and laughed with her, it would've meant nothing and she could have moved on cool. It's also possible she could have taken out the whole front row with a large-caliber weapon.

J. Michael StraczynskiSuicide is a form of murder - premeditated murder. It isn't something you do the first time you think of doing it. It takes getting used to.

If you remember the stitches more than you remember the pussy, youre going to be just fine.
Robert Downey, Jr.If you watch the award shows, you'll see variations of the hammer pants.

I'm always appreciative of seeing my influence.
MC HammerAquamarine is an airy blue with a dreamy feel. Cool and calming, ethereal Aquamarine is a shade with a wet and watery feel. Open and expansive, this restful blue also acts as a stress reducer.
Leatrice EisemanIf I make my window ten days for stand-up, the conclusion is that I failed and that I'm not good at stand-up.

Demetri MartinI never had a preconceived plan. When you go to a movie and watch someone in the role of his or her life, or when the chairman of the board comes into the room wearing a cool look, it remains in your mind. I love Cary Grant because I like the roles he played. I said, "I want to be that guy." I want to be funny, suave, and a good athlete. I don't have to do a focus group to know what people want. I feel it.
Ralph LaurenLeft to my own devices, would I trade this for firm thighs, fewer wrinkles, a better memory? On some days. That's why it's such a blessing I'm not left to my own devices.

I'd give up all this for a flatter belly? Are you crazy?
