I went to engineering school which I thought was what I wanted to do for about two weeks. We had an orientation class and we met this guy where he worked and stuff and it was cool but I was like 'There is no way this is going to be my life.'

My style icons would be people like Brigitte Bardot and old Hollywood actresses who always look so stunning cool and chic. I like classic and timeless looks.

I don't think generally speaking people become writers because they were the really good really cool attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that I suppose.

I used to love to draw. I didn't want to go to art class because I felt that would be too corny when I was young but architectural drafting was the cool thing to do because there was more precision. It taught me a lot about building and structures and doorways and frames and windowsills.

I read the script for Wonder Boys and I said that was almost perfect it was so classy cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

Acknowledging class was always difficult for 'New Democrats' - it was second-wave it was divisive - but 2008 made retro politics cool again.

I like low-maintenance girls but at the same time classy. She needs to take care of herself. But also be a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and play basketball so it's cool if she's a tomboy.

Morgan Freeman is so class. He's so cool. He's so scary.

I never cut class. I loved getting A's I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.
