easy honey... don't be so quick to be so defensive

first... the "transcript of his life" was simply a rib at the entire thread and had absolutely nothing to do with you or your post directly. and yes... i read the entire thread so i know that you transcribe for a living. in fact... my comment simply backed up your comment that... indeed the entire interview was so full of quotes that we should just transcribe his life.

some advice... don't ever take anything i say seriously... i'm very tongue-in-cheek and i would hate to feel like i needed to moderate my sarcasm for those here.

second... i only quoted that post to fill in the blank

LOL am actually very easy haha. is it so wrong that i imagined david cook saying "easy" the way he did at michael johns during LKL?

see i thought it was a rib at me since you quoted the whole post but now that you said that i understand it better. thanks for filling in the blank. is that a real hair product btw? i guess i should google it.

BLake, where can i find that Hide and Seek thing? thanks!

I don't think this was posted yet... and it's just epic. Makes me LOL all the time.

ROCK is not dead, it merely lies in a comatose state, frozen in some cryogenic lab. It'll actually be unfrozen in 2026, along with Rasputin's penis, and the head of Ted Williams....no, seriously.... - David, on whether rock is dead.

Calling himself a "jeans and T-shirt guy", David Cook has a practical approach to fashion.
"You buy the Hanes 3-pack of T-shirts and that's three days of not having to do laundry," he told PEOPLE.

Try The Tube for the full, non-edited Nightline interview.

This is still *the best* TV coverage since he won, imo, followed closely by TTSw/JL (puddin', eeeeaaasy -- ha ha)

da-yum . . . . . 'precipice' . . . . *thud* . . . . so darn articulate.

I remember one when someone asked him 15 question bout AI, she asked about what Randy said to David on his Music Of The Night performance. Instead answered "molten hot lava bomb", David said "molten lava hot?".

I loved the interview on Elvis Duran when Cookie and Archie piggy backed ...

Archie jumps on David's back and David jumps on the interview's back and is talking on the phone

ARCHIE: I'm sorry about that
COOKIE: Got off! Archie, my back!

Hmmm ... it sounds a lot better when you are watching the video

K, all you Cook quote experts . . . need a favor. Anyone have the exact quote from David about his hair? Goes something like: Genetically, it's not going to be here very long, so I'm just letting it enjoy the ride.

Searched all 11 pages of this thread, and I didn't see it. Sorry if I missed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

“Based on genetics, it'll be gone someday. So I'm letting it enjoy the ride”

Hope this helps!!

Thanks, Wordnerd33! Really appreciate it. Gathering inspiration for some artwork later this wkend.

haha

hombre means man in spanish

"GET OFF ARCHIE, MY BACK!" I know this was just posted, but that was LOL-tastic.

*bump*

I've really been into sudoku lately so I guess I'd be a Number Nerd too, I 'm not sure....- from the Eric and Kathy Show...

that was fun.

One of the best for me is this one is from the RollingStone video:

Sometimes you have to kiss the Beast to save the Beauty

http://www.people.com/people/package/video...0207180,00.html

"I had a fan, give me a hug, and while hugging me said,
-You have no idea what you do to me when I listen to
your music by myself.-"



He knew exactly what the woman meant by that!

yeah i just watched that video and i laughed out loud when he answered the craziest thing a fan did... his reaction was so funny... lol

lmao, i just watched it too. best quote ever.

"I don't have a secret weapon, I just do what I do-open doors, pay for meals, be a gentleman-If it works, it works. If not, I just go home."

"I'm David Archuleta's assistant."


By the way,
"Loser"... (02:40)?! can't she be nicer???
Archie is so cute as usual,
MJ is so much fun as usual,
DC is hot&cute needless to say.

this one has always been my favorite!

This incredible wittiness of David's really reminds me of the Beatles. They were always coming out with stuff like that during interviews. Maybe that's one of the reasons so many of us baby boomers are so into David.

Someone with that clever and original of a mind should be coming out with some awesome music, even better than the good stuff he's already made!!!!

When ever I need a good laugh I watch this video...it always cracks me up

A lesson to all the guys out there. It always works!!!

I thought that openng doors was natural to him. I watched that video of him being interviewed after he had dinner with Kim at the steakhouse, and he opened the car door for her as he was talking to the reporter; it was fluid, like he didn't even have to think about it. DC is a real gentleman.

I ripped that into an MP3 and have it in my David Playlists. Let me tell you, when my pod is on shuffle, and I randomly get a good "arrrrr - you know you love it" . . . I am literally lol. Kinda disruptive to the work environment, but who cares?!

"I don't know anybody in this room....and I’m not wearing pants"

Love so many of those quotes....but this one always makes me laugh!

Fox News 6 – San Diego May 22, 2008 – the next morning after 80 some interviews

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE3HtAHxB-M...feature=related

When asked about his crying on the show during the season: (I didn’t put the uhs and stutters in this because of his obvious fatigue)
Early on in the competition, Deborah Byrd, one of the vocal coaches, talked me into kinda getting inside my head a little bit and kinda breaking down some barriers I had set up as a performer and once that happened I lost All Control! You get these moments as a performer where there is just an immediate energy and you get overwhelmed with it.

What now for David Cook?
“The sky’s the limit.”

“The idea of a personal life is probably a little bit of an archaic term for me at this time.”

[Can anyone tell me his favorite word mentioned on the show? I can never make it out.]

Plethora

Aw, one of the words in the ULTIMATE WORD NERD CHALLENGE in the sign pix competition. Love plethora.

"Things are great." (Best, succinct answer David has that shuts down the question. love that.)

funny plethora has always been one of my favorite words. it's just not easy to work into a sentence on a daily basis!!

I have found that dave has great answers to many things.

blake i just noticed your destination is prescience! that rocks, but how many people do you come across who knows what it means.

Including you . . . TWO! So, thank you for that nice surprise.

(I'm sure I could come up with a plethora of other sentiments to share, but I'll stick with thank you, which somehow seems so trite.)

"If I could have a superpower, I'd like the ability to fly, so I can, you know?...soar, with the birds." - During the Ford Commercial - i like this one because when he was saying this he's trying not to laugh, and he's so cute when he is doing that!

"My first impression of Syesha was that she was a mute." - From AI Extra - and this really made me laugh so hard!

Another quote from him i like is this:

Really? Awesome! - His answer to Neil Diamond when he said he gave him goosebumps

"I don't want her to die." --- The lady next to me tells him her daughter is going to die because she got to take a picture with him. He laughs and says, "I don't want her to die"...so cute! (from telcochik's post, from her meeting David at The View in Vegas.)

Woah, bringing this up back from the depths of page 55 because I was looking for certain quotes and sources. PLEASE ADD! Haha we have so many new gems since the season ended.

I wish I could see his facial expression when he said that

Thank you!
David is so enjoyable verbally!

Here is one more: Ryan: You seem to be so relaxed.. almost too relaxed! David: Seriously? I`m glad I have proven something up! ... Before one early performance ( David was wearing a pink tie!)




~LadyBirdSF~

Woah Indeed! Seeing this thread again makes me gigglesnort! Thanks!

I still like ...I'm in a room full of people and I'm not wearing pants...

BAHAHAHA!! When he was doing his Guitar Hero Commercial! Luvs it Still!
