It's kinda cool seeing people having real fights with people they really know.

And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it walk home take my time kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school so that was cool.

If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

In my books the technology that I choose to talk about has to serve the themes. What that means is that I end up having to cut out a lot of cool technology that would be really fun to describe and play with but which would just confuse everybody. So in 'Amped ' I focus on neural implants.

With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.

We have newsreaders behaving like actors lowering their voices if it's a sad story as if we didn't know it's a sad story. There isn't a single cool newsreader.

Having been to Europe and working and traveling there the restaurants my wife and I remember were always off the beaten trail restaurants. So I tried to seek a little 'off the beaten trail ' but cool area.

I really felt like I finally made it. Having your first fake pregnancy rumor. It was really awesome. I feel like it's part of what happens in this business but that's a real one. That's a cool one to get.

The term 'geek' for me is like you having a passion interest in something that is unabashed and you don't care if people think it's not cool. You think it's cool and that's your thing.

Being cool having a 'cool' energy is just not attractive to me.

It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing because I think in general as a human being I'm pessimistic and introverted. But it's cool because it's a whole different side of me and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself.

I grew up not really having anything so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.

What people don't understand is joining a gang ain't bad it's cool it's fine. When you in the hood joining a gang it's cool because all your friends are in the gang all your family's in the gang. We're not just killing people every night we're just hanging out having a good time.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

One of the things that is not so good is that a decision was made long ago about the size of an IP address - 32 bits. At the time it was a number much larger than anyone could imagine ever having that many computers but it turned out to be to small.

The other thing about FEMA my understanding is that it was supposed to move into the Department of Homeland Security... and be what it was but also having a lot of lateral communication with all those others involved in that issue of homeland security.

I've always looked the same. Since I was a child I hated having to deal with my hair. I hated having to change my clothes. As a kid I had a sailor shirt and the same old corduroy pants and that's what I wanted to wear everyday.

I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.

We think that democracy can change a lot of things but we're being fooled because democracy is not the election. We've been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn't. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It's the most mundane trivial disappointing dirty aspect.

I think having a child can really change you if you're open to it.

The low points I had all helped make up my character so I probably wouldn't want to do away with them because I like being flawed and I like having them help me grow and change and become better and stronger.

I don't like definitions but if there is a definition of freedom it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it to change it rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than.

We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past so we change how people are thinking feeling and behaving today.

For having lived long I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration to change opinions even on important subjects which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
