If you, like, consciously think about being cool, you're not cool. If you consciously think about being, like, different or original, you ain't different or original.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all have these notions of cool that come about at different points in our lives, and it's interesting in how it evolves or doesn't evolve in different people.
Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.
In my mind, as long as I did what was right for me, I was cool. But that's not the way it works. You have to think about other people and take their feelings into account.
Maybe the coolest people are the ones who don't care about being cool.
People don't know exactly what I do; they just know I'm 'cool.'
For most of my life, I've thought of myself as pretty cool.
You cannot represent cool. You've got to be cool. You've got to be authentic. I think, after all these years, that is how I define cool. It is being authentic. That is powerful.
You have to pretend to be cool, which I never am.
I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.
I've never been cool - and I don't care.
