To me what I love about the draft is first you see the young men who are realizing their dreams that they've worked so hard for. That's a pretty cool thing. You saw the emotion from some of these guys the other day. And then the second thing is this total sense of hope and optimism. And I think that's great for everybody.

In Hollywood today it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it.

Sydney in the 1960s wasn't the exuberant multicultural metropolis it is today. Out in the city's western reaches days passed in a sun-struck stupor. In the evenings families gathered on their verandas waiting for the 'southerly buster' - the thunderstorm that would break the heat and leave the air cool enough to allow sleep.

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.

I'm a fan of designers and clothes that look beautiful but more importantly make me feel beautiful and confident. It's why I've always loved Stella McCartney and more recently Prabal Gurung. Their pieces are cool yet timeless and the fits are effortlessly flattering.

It's interesting because a lot of my 16-year-old kids' friends know me from 'Wedding Crashers ' and not so much Bond. My kids have a good laugh. I was 20 then. The look I had then was the look that a lot of their friends are assuming now. They think it's cool. What goes around comes around.

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.

More and more Democrats are starting to worry they that they have a more um colorful version of Jimmy Carter on their hands. Obama acts cool as a proverbial cucumber but that awful '70s show seems frightfully close to a rerun.

In my mind as long as I did what was right for me I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.

I think all jocks have a sensitive side. It's just will they show it to anybody? Will they let their guard down and stop being tough and the cool jock guy around their friends or just relax? I don't know if it's best to say opening up but just relax and really say what you're actually thinking and not what you think people want to hear.
