"The thing that’s cool about the recording booth is that it’s so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase." ― Ron Perlman Topic(s): Cool More From Ron Perlman "So much of my aesthetic was formed by my dad." "Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You’re constantly depicting something that doesn’t exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees." "Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants, one unexpected event crashing into another, with no pattern or reason, and then you finally reach a point, around my age, where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things." More In Cool "President Clinton is going to embrace President Obama, as he should. They are working together. They’re different kinds of people. Obama is cool, Clinton is a schmoozer. Both are great speakers. It’s a great merging of the party."― Bill Richardson "I could never dream of being cool."― Andrea Corr "I saw a drummer play once when I was a kid and I thought, that’s really cool. You know, you’re moving. You’re using your arms and fingers. So I tried it and I loved it."― Bill Kreutzmann
