I was a jock, hardcore sports all the way down the line, but I heard that if you auditioned for this arts school, you got time off school, and that sounded good to me.
I’m a street footballer. I’m hardcore. Growing up in east London, you’ve got to be a little bit self-confident. As a player, I would go into detail, watch who I was playing against. Who might come into my vicinity. That gives you self-confidence.
When I’m telling stories of my video game days, when I was a really hardcore MMO player, I played ‘EverQuest’ for two years and played ‘World of Warcraft’ and several other games for the last ten years or so… 95% of the stories I’ll tell you are ‘EverQuest.’
If you’re curious how Lance Armstrong got away with cheating for 15 years or why Manti Te’o’s fake girlfriend went unnoticed for five months, it’s because sports reporters are really just starstruck fans, not hardcore journalists.
I was a fan of One Direction when I was 16, but I was also a fan of Bring Me The Horizon and hardcore bands.
I’m a hardcore performer. The rest follows.
I am a hardcore VH1 lover and always have this dream of featuring in an English music video of VH1.
I’m still young and rom-coms suit me more than the hardcore action films which I did before.
It might surprise people to know that the person who convinced me to write the third memoir – ‘The Hardcore Diaries’ – was actually Vince McMahon.
There were some hardcore fans who thought I was ruining the band they loved. And now there’s this document, ‘The Doors Unhinged,’ which, hopefully, they’ll take away that I was trying to preserve the band they love and its legacy.
I’ve been in situations where, in the midst of really hardcore events in my life, I made some ridiculous off-color joke that was in horrible taste, but made people laugh.
I really loved the hardcore alternative vibe Prince had on ‘Dirty Mind.’
A lot of y’all are lonely and y’all lonely because you’re overlooking a good man. Why? Because y’all wanna be with the hardcore thug. The man that is pretending to be everything that he isn’t.
When I grew up, there were locked cabinets in public libraries. You needed parental permission if you were under eighteen. I was let down by the overblown reputations of some hardcore fictional works.
When I first started playing metal, lyrically, I sort of related a little bit more to the punk and hardcore scenes, where there was a lot more veganism and straight-edge people and people taking a stance for causes that they believe in.
I’ve had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don’t have to rent, I don’t get stuck with the bills, it’s all mine.
I love rap, and I love the angst of hardcore music and punk rock.
We can be a little less organized in Stockholm; it’s not really that serious. And on the White Marble tour in Europe – I don’t think there’s as much hardcore fans as in the U.S. In the U.S., it’s like this whole celebrity culture.
Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression – from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it.
My initial goal was not really cater to the hardcore wrestling fans or the smarter wrestling fans. It was to cater to casual wrestling fans.
I would really like to do a straight action movie that’s hardcore – heavy action, like ‘The Expendables’ or ‘Fast Five.’
Rap is hardcore street music but there are women out there who can hang with the best male rappers. What holds us back is that girls tend to rap in these high, squeaky voices. It’s irritating. You’ve gotta rap from the diaphragm.
I’ve been Intercontinental Champion lots of times, Television Champion. One of my favorites has been the Hardcore Championship because it reflected my favorite style, and I feel that the X Division belt does that, too.
If I had my career to do over again, I think I would wrestle under my real name, John Hennigan, because if there was some sort of brand test associated with professional wrestling, I would hardcore fail that test because I have so many names, it’s confusing to me, even.
When you say ‘revolution’ when you have only men outside, you know that something is going wrong. I’m not like a hardcore feminist, but I think that one of the things that makes the society advanced is equality between men and women. If half of the society is oppressed by the other half, it’s not fine.
I completely love playing and designing games and always will. I am so into games that I listen to game music all day. That may sound strange, but you can guarantee I’m a hardcore gamer and would never let you down by designing a crappy title.
I was built to be a fighter, to be a warrior just like Ronda Rousey was built to be a warrior and Bruce Jenner is getting back to being the hardcore person, the warrior that he is.
I’m not a big crossover person, I’ll be honest. I try to keep ‘Hellcat’ separate from the larger Marvel world because I want it to be a book anyone can read, not just a hardcore comics fan.
When I was in college in Philly, there was a lot of post-punks… hardcore… like, rock. Sixties, retro, proto-Strokes kind of bands.
Palak has its three to four signature moves. I cannot showcase just those on the ‘Jhalak’ stage since it’s a hardcore dance show. The tasks cannot be taken lightly. All the contestants are judged technically.
If Mayweather wants to come over and fight in the UFC, then do it. It’s hardcore here, though. I don’t think it’ll be a stroll in the park. Granted, he’s the best boxer ever seen, just about.
I would love to have a Divas Hardcore championship. If we had a hardcore cage, we’ll just paint the cage pink or something and make it extra girly so it’s so, like, Diva.
Jorge Masvidal is a star. That wasn’t always the case. Hardcore fans always knew how good he was, but it always seemed like he would fall short in the big one.
I made hardcore music and that came kind of easy – it was what I knew. But it was a challenge for me to make a big pop tune.
It gets a little crazy at Disneyland. It’s a little bit more hardcore then people think.
I think when I was younger, I used to sort of long to be a part of films that were really gritty and hardcore in a way.
You don’t need to stick to tough rules or overnight changes; you need not rely on hardcore discipline that makes you hate your life. You need only focus on progress, not perfection. Lean in to the process of losing weight, and it will happen easily.
I think over there in Montreal they’re a bit hardcore with the old homos. They’re not that keen on them.
When I was first started, when I was eighteen, I wrestled for a company that had a very hardcore fanbase and demanded a lot from its wrestlers. So, every single match, I would do every move possible. I would land on the concrete floor; I would land really high on my head just to try to impress the fans.
I wrote music. I was in a hardcore band when I was 14, and I wasn’t good enough to play anyone else’s songs, so I had to write my own.
What is hardcore? Hardcore is not just being hardcore, hardcore is going in the ring and giving 100% of yourself. Hardcore is great fans.
I always make hardcore songs, hits for the block.
Well, in Japan, I have got a group of musicians that I have worked with a lot, that concentrate just on the hardcore stuff, say, that Naked City has been working on. We have like a repertoire of sixty songs now.
I’m certainly no hardcore backpacker, but I do enjoy being out in the woods for a few hours.
I was a big fan of hardcore music growing up, black metal.
When I appeared in EPMD’s ‘Hardcore’ song and video that was just crazy. Def Jam had these little virals back then on VHS tape. Q-Tip was another very important person to my career. He had me in A Tribe Called Quest’s ‘Scenario’ video when I was first coming out.
In ECW, hardcore wrestling wasn’t done just for the fun of it. It was done for a purpose, for a reason. And for me, it was done to exist and produce a revenue for my family.
Being a hardcore old-school comic book lover, it took me a while to accept the need for comic book movies.
Hardcore bands were coming out with names like Urban Waste and The Mob, you know, a lot of kind of tough names. So Beastie Boys was the stupidest name we could come up with. And unfortunately, it stuck.
In ‘Expendables 2,’ there was a lot of vulgar dialogue in the screenplay. For this reason, many young people wouldn’t be able to watch this. But I don’t play in movies like this. Due to that, I said, ‘I won’t be a part of that if the hardcore language is not erased.’
When we first came out it was this happy accident, and I was sort of into hardcore at the time. Jordan our singer was really into Jawbreaker and a lot of indie rock bands and old Dischord bands, and sort of like more of the indie side of music. Our bass player was really into West Coast punk.
‘Quantum Conundrum’ has a little bit of something for everybody – it’s got something for kids and it’s got enough of a challenge for a hardcore gamer.
There’s not a formula that I’m following; it’s just how I feel at the time. For instance, I did a very experimental film called ‘Hardcore Henry,’ and that was simply because I thought the filmmaker was very interesting and a risk taker. A film like that had never been made before, so I chose to do that at the time.
