One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken completely tranquil the same ebullient laughing jovial man.

What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism and I would've had I've been alive at the time I think had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism and I see no place in our society for institutional racism.

This soul or life within us by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius mental vigor and courage which it contained.

You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.

Mistakes are always forgivable if one has the courage to admit them.

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

Those who lack the courage will always find a philosophy to justify it.

It's cool to have critical success because it's always nice for your peers to say 'Good job.' But who cares about them?

My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do!

I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!

I was always a sci-fi and fantasy geek. I was in the 'Lord of the Rings' club and all my cool friends made fun of me.

I'd love to pop back into 'Being Human' as Adam. I love the character so much. I've never really played a character like that. I'm always playing the geek so to play a kid who is very energetic when he wants to be and who is always trying to get the girls was really cool.

I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on but keyboard players don't look cool onstage they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player apart from Elton John.

You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can't concentrate on any of those things. You've got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus.

That's always a cool thing to be the voice of what the eyes are seeing. It gives you the role of the Greek chorus and that's always fun to do.

A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.

People always used to say to me 'Don't you want your own show? That'd be so cool if you had your own show.' I said 'You know it's not gonna happen. So - no.'

My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to you know rock. It's not always metal but you know half the time it is. Metal's cool you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.

For 'The Haunting Hour ' I thought it would be a lot of fun. It was great to play this cool kid role. My episode is called 'The Intruders' and my character is this mean angry teenager because her younger brother was just born and he gets all of the attention. She's always playing tricks on her family and there are some cool twists.

I always loved Kate Winslet but after you meet her you really love her because she's a cool chick.

I've always thought vampires were interesting because they live forever they're always well-financed they dress well you know what I mean? And they're like cool. Usually vampire - you've never seen a broke vampire. Have you?

My parents have always been cool. They even became surrogates to friends of mine who didn't have such supportive parents.

I've been such an oddball my whole life but I've always been cool and I've always dressed fairly smartly.
