(this quote is not about the actual song, but I found it appropriate considering the lyrics.) "I usually get myself into situations that cause sparks. I mean I'm a girl that likes the storms. I love feeling alive, I love walking out in the cold in my bare feet and feeling the ice on my toes." - CNN article 2/1/96

"Cooling is a song that was written for Boys For Pele and it didn't really fit in the album, so it came out as a bee side for Spark in England, you can get it as an import. And I play it a lot now. I tried to put it on this record but it didn't really fit." - Yahoo Online Chat 8/5/98

"This is a b-side that should have made Boys for Pele and didn't and then probably should have made choirgirl and didn't. That usually happens with b-sides." - KNRK 9/12/98

"She didn't make any of the albums. I played her a lot live. She actually made the live album. I thought it would have been really cute if she would've been on Pele because I just think it's kinda groovy that a volcano would say, "this is cooling, faster than I can'." - FNX AIDS Benefit 12/03/99

Question: What's the best song you've ever written? Tori: "I can't say that! The other songs are hearing me say this. They're zooming in from all over the planet, wherever they are. Leather was down in Costa Rica (laughs). And now she's here right in my face saying "If you say a different song... there'll be no more high heel for you, girl!" Do I have to answer that? I know what I'll do, I'll take a favourite b-side, because the album girls get a little sensitive. For a favourite B-side it would be between Cooling and Never Seen Blue." - Attitude 10/01
