Paula Marshall Quotes

My first three years of high school, I wasn't that cool.

I am not a beauty queen, and I was not the popular girl in high school.

No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal.

I think if I was 5-foot-3, I would have been really popular and dated a lot more in high school. I didn't develop like the pretty girl.

I don't know, Y'know, I always wanted to be one of those cheerleader girls and I never was that, and I was never sort of cute and perky, and I always thought it was fun to be cute and perky, and those, I don't know what those girls are doing now.

I think everyone in their life has some point on their life wanted to be like everybody else or wanted to be like the captain of the football team.

I've worked so hard to eliminate the inner geek from my life. I suddenly realize I have no patience for those people who still have their geeks showing. Now I see why being 'normal' has been so important to me.

In high school, I definitely fancied myself an intense guy, which is so lame.

I always had good friends, but I did not feel like a cool girl, ever.

Like any other all-American boy, I wanted to be just thought of as popular, be well-liked, and meet a lot of cute girls.

I always wanted to be where the cool was because I didn't think I was cool. But music was cool.

I've never been cool.

I don't know who can really relate to being cool. Even people who you think are cool, they are trying to be cool. Nobody can understand the feeling of being cool, really.

To me, I feel completely, um, utterly normal. I do everything everybody else does.

I think that I've always been a normal kid.

I was trying to be someone for the first part of high school. I was kind of this nerdy kid who didn't want to be a nerd anymore. Even talking about it, I'm embarrassed. I'm like, 'Ugh, why did you care what people thought?'

I understand that if someone's going to make me his idea of cool, I can't control that.

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 cool as a kid.

I knew in my heart that I wasn't cool, but I figured I could at least be cool by association.

I've not got a girlfriend at the moment. Somebody said, 'Do you worry girls are just giving you attention because of who you are?' I was like, 'I'm 17, it's wonderful.'

I can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast.

I thought that being popular in school was just so pathetic. I knew I had a future over and beyond the horizon of that school.

I was an average kid who had his wimpy moments.

I was very average in the social label scale going through school. I was neither the coolest person in school, nor did I suffer the slings and arrows of being made fun of to such a degree that I couldn't get through the day.
