Everyone knows deep in their hearts that the drums are the coolest instrument, and that a band is only as good as its drummer. So I’m all for drum solos. I’m all for drummers hamming it up. I’m all for drummers standing up and kicking over the kit.
Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

I love MTV, and I love the VMAs. There’s no award show like it. It really is the coolest award show, hands down.

Tarantino is the coolest damn guy; he’s just so much fun to work with. He might be the best director I’ve ever worked with. He just seems to know how to do it and he knows how to make you feel good about it. He’s having so much fun you start having fun. You can’t help it.

The coolest thing, too, is that people that have never even seen ‘One Tree Hill’ tell me, ‘I love your music.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, do you watch the show?’ And they say ‘No.’ And to me that’s even cooler because that means I’m actually starting to get country fans.
I am the coolest dad in the world.

Whether it’s a 16-year old girl, or a mom, or a guy, or anybody, as long as they come up and they’re excited to meet me ’cause they’ve had some sort of relationship with something I’ve created, it’s the coolest thing ever. It never gets old. It’s awesome.

Every season of ‘Teen Wolf’ was really cool and exciting and unique, but there was just something about the first season story-wise that was, I think, the coolest.

How often do you get a movie where the coolest character has your own real last name? I played Bob Morales as a cross between my own father – the passion, the fury – and the real Bob Morales. I loved that movie. People, kids always come up to me and tell me how much they still love ‘La Bamba.’
It’s the coolest job to be on Broadway.

One of the coolest things about touring around, actually, is getting to meet people, and getting to pick up on things that other people like.

My first day of high school, I wore brown boys’ corduroys that my mom had sewn Sesame Street elastic into – they were my coolest pants – and a lime green Patagonia fleece that my mom found at Goodwill. I loved fleece.
