When you're a kid you see your parents reading the newspaper and you're like 'God why are they reading the newspaper?' When you're young you're not reading the newspaper. But there comes a time in your life when the newspaper's cool.

And of course I've got kids of my own now and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I'm now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You're suddenly hip.

As a young boy I was taught in high school that hacking was cool.

I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough but I'm doing it.

When I was younger I had a perm and it was really big. My mom was a hairdresser so even my dad had a perm! I looked like a poodle but it was cool at the time.

I remember being on film sets when I was younger and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too ' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.

I think I'm so old I'm in. We call it the 'Tony Bennett Syndrome.' For some reason young people think I'm cool.

You know the diversity that America has is so special. It's starting to really become a cool thing for young people.

All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.

I was a 'Duck Hunt' and 'Mario' guy and stuff like that. I was never technologically driven. I never had all the cool new toys. I was the youngest child I wasn't the only child so I wasn't spoiled as a kid. And we were on the farm so we didn't have a lot. Also with computers I'm not very good with them. I just check my email.
