More From Jen Lancaster

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.
Country Stupid Moving
Awkwardness gives me great comfort. i've never been cool, but i've felt cool. i've been in the cool place, but i wasn't really cool - i was trying to pass for hip or cool. it's the awkwardness that's nice.
Nice Giving Trying
All i want to say to people, man, is, "yo, you see me walking down the street and i got a little bop in my walk, don't think because i've got a bop in my walk i'm trying to be all that. the bop in my walk is because i'm just like you, man. i bop when i walk." know what i'm saying? i'm proud. if you see me smiling, standing straight up, gold around my neck, it's not because i'm conceited. it's because i'm proud of what i achieved. i made this. i worked hard for this. that's all this is about.

It's because the idea of what's cool is different. when you talk to a girl who goes to regular school, what's cool is whether or not you've been to jail, or if you have a car. if you talk to a girl who goes to art school, what's cool to her is if you do art projects on the weekend with your dad, if you can build something - out-of-the-norm stuff.
Girl Art Dad
I can remember how i sang - a little more nasal-y back then. listening to those old recordings is like seeing a photograph of yourself from 10 years ago. you're wearing what you thought looked cool at the time. you had your hair styled the particular way you thought looked cool. it's an accurate depiction of who you were and what you looked and sounded like at that point in your life. it doesn't necessarily mean that it aged in a way that it feels as cool or sounds as good to you, or says what you thought it said, 10 years later. that's just the nature of growing older.
Mean Listening Remember
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. everyday, i walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. i have walked myself into my best thoughts, and i know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. but by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.

Similar Quotes
When i was little, like maleficent, i was told that i was different - and i felt out of place, and too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in. and then one day i realized something, something i hope you all realize. different is good.
Fire Sitting Still One Day
I don't like sitting still at a desk and often conduct business on my blackberry or in walking meetings.
Sitting Still Desks Blackberries
It's hard to be strong and be weak at the same time. so i spent a lot of time sitting still. sitting still for hours, not moving a muscle. really concentrated work, so i'm ready. i'm ready for my performance.
Strong Moving Sitting Still
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting...
