I've never massively minded not being cool.
Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.
By cool, I don't mean cool. I mean vulnerable and a mess.
If you were a nerd computer geek in 1982, the amount of isolation you felt - at least what I experienced, or the kids I knew, the isolation they felt - was almost total. They were not part of society; no one thought they were cool.
There are so many things that you think will look cool but then you look like an idiot!
I was never the cool kid in school, and loads of people told me that I was weird, that I dressed uncool and did uncool things, that I was too nice, too happy.
I was never considered cool throughout my teens: a very important time to be accepted by someone, especially your peers. Yes, I had all the screaming women, but the guys hated my guts.
Like most people in radio - and in magic - I'm not cool. I know people who are hip, and I can feel distance between them and me.
I wasn't one of the cool kids by any stretch. I just bumbled along really.
The day that I ever become hip... please shoot me and put me outta my misery!
To make music that means something, you kind of have to drop the cool. You have to be prepared and willing to be uncool.
Trying to keep up is the ultimate act of uncoolness. And so I still retrieve not one but two daily newspapers from the driveway.
I got beat up by the comic-book kids when I was younger! They were cooler than me. Talk about levels of geekdom, I was a couple rungs below the kids who read comic books. Yeah. Not so cool, man.
If there's a message, it's that the unlovable and unattractive parts of ourselves should be embraced. The only real currency between people is what happens when they're not cool. And I hope people feel OK about not being cool.
I named my album 'So Uncool' because it defies the ordinary: you're different from everyone else. It's like, being uncool makes you cool because you're different!
I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable.
I was never cool as a kid.
I'm not really the cool dude at all.
I want to be a poster boy for the uncool.
You just don't know how uncool it is to be Kyle until you're Kyle.
I was a good student. I was lame. I was into school and didn't really go out much, so I guess I wasn't the coolest person on the planet.
I pride myself on being tragically uncool.
I'd much rather look adorkable than cool.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I was the only black girl in my grade. And I was just, like, really dorky. Like, I wasn't cool.
I used to have an afro - like Will Ferrell in 'Semi-Pro.' It was bleached blond from the sun. I was tall and awkward. I was not cool.
