Now guitar was pretty cool. Everybody knew something on the guitar. So I wanted to play guitar but I told my dad if he wanted me to keep studying something I'd like to study piano.

For me everything is cool.

There's kind of a cool feel that happens every now and then. I guess that feel is the thing that makes the score its own score. But I don't know exactly what that is. So it's hard for me to answer that question.

Honestly I'm cool with everyone and people pick up on that. I'd say 'I'm not gay but it's all good.' It's kind of like going to Paris when you don't know the language some Americans get into trouble over there but I'm just like 'Sorry I don't speak French.'

Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good.

Everything you listen to when you are 17 should be embarrassing otherwise you are way too cool.

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.

My mother used to take me to flea markets in my stroller and I would just rummage through the piles. You've got to dig through the overstuffed racks that everyone else just walks by. It's the only way to find the cool stuff.

There's no point in swanning through and being cool as a breeze in every scene. It's not really that interesting. Even if you're a superhero.

In France everyone speaks French 'cause they think it's cool. Gives 'em gives 'em an excuse to smoke.
