To act coolly, intelligently and prudently in perilous circumstances is the test of a man - and also a nation.

I've never done anything because I thought it would look cool.

Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool, brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

I'm cute - and God I hate that. Because that's not cool. I'm like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece. It's the chubby cheeks. The whole reason people voted for me on American Idol is because I'm an everyday, normal girl.
