More From Dominic Monaghan

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.

And that really captures the difference for the bullied straight kid versus the bullied gay kid, is that the bullied straight kid goes home to a shoulder to cry on and support and can talk freely about his experience at school and why he's being bullied. [...] and i couldn't go home and open up to my parents.

Sometimes [people] say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. in my case, i am pretty fortunate. [ my kids]'re pretty balanced, cool kids, going through pretty much the same thing all the other kids go through. there's nothing unique about me as a parent. i am a parent. my kids are kids. we do the best we can do. i don't think they know a lot about what i do, other than that i am in this crazy band, mötley crüe.

There's one thing i do wanna say. it's that every single one of you are just beautiful the way you are, every message that i get from you guys it just hurts me. beacuse , if there is one person who knows what its like to get bullied, i get bullied a lot but you guys are so beautiful, please don't listen to any of that, ever, ever, ever from your school, from anything. you guys are perfect

What people don't realize is that fame, whatever your worst experience in high school, when you were being bullied by those ten kids in high school, fame is that, but on a global scale, where you're being bullied by millions of people constantly.

I get a lot of parents coming up to me, telling me they are grooming their kids to be professional athletes. i'm really against that. i think it's a great life, and yeah, you can lead them in that direction. i think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. because they didn't make it, they want their kids to make it. it puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

Stop saying athletes do it for the love of the game. they do it for the love of their 32-room mansion with the live shark tank in the living room. if pro sports paid minimum wage, shaquille o'neal would be a bouncer at scores, and anna kournikova would be a mail-order bride from minsk.

And be silent for the most part, or else make only the most necessary remarks, and express these in few words. but rarely, and when occasion requires you to talk, talk, indeed, but about no ordinary topics. do not talk about gladiators, or horseraces, or athletes, or things to eat or drink - topics that arise on all occasions; but above all, do not talk about people, either blaming, or praising, or comparing them.

Being an athlete, you try to get protein.
