“'Cool' is detached and emotionally cool. My instinct is to battle anyt...” — Oscar Isaac Quote

“'Cool' is detached and emotionally cool. My instinct is to battle anything that seems overly cool.”

“I started playing guitar at, like, 12 or 13 and just rock bands mostly. I had a punk rock band and hard core bands and all that.”

“I think that's why often people in creative fields can feel so alone is because there's a constant third eye, that constant watcher.”

“Every frame of a Coen brothers movie is filled with history and meaning, and the deeper you go, the deeper you get. That's why their movies stand up particularly well to repeated viewing and investigation.”

“All of my high school issues are resolved!”

“I was never much of a singer. I was terrible. It's embarrassing: I was trying to sound like everybody else. I went through a big Cure phase, so I was trying to do that kind of dramatic voice.”

“My natural gravitation is toward the gray and the black and the white and the burgundy. Sort of muted, cool colors.”

“I went to a Cal Tech party after the 'Facebook' movie came out, and there were kids in dark rooms coding because it was cool again. That movie made it cool to sit in a room at a party and write code.”

“No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal.”

“We all want to be identified as someone cool, and I have struggled with repping where I'm from and my heritage before. It's part of growing pains. But when people see me being proud of what I am - and they are what I am too - it makes them proud. That's why I try to represent my Asian and my black side.”

“Every day I am being told to sign up for Tumblr, Yammer, Friendfeed, Plaxo, Last.fm, ping.fm or the hot social-media tool du jour that happened to get mentioned on Mashable.com. It is like a social-media arms race. Each one of these new tools is like a cool new night club. Hot today, gone tomorrow, replaced with something else.”
