I have an idea for a movie called ‘The Walken Dead’ which is about a town where, instead of zombies, everyone becomes Chris Walken.
Taika grabbed me and went, ‘Come and meet these guys’. He knocked on this really massive campervan and then the door opened and there’s Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo peering down, then giving me high-fives and hugs. I was like, ‘Oh my god.’
A lot of comics aren’t their on-screen personas; Chris Rock isn’t always ranting and raving. What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke. Then I can do anything I want.
I can see myself having a great WrestleMania match with John Cena, with Chris Jericho.
I was influenced by a lot of stand-up comedians… Eddie Murphy back when he was doing ‘Raw.’ I watched that so many times as a kid, I can probably still quote the entire thing to this day. Chris Rock. Dave Chappelle. George Carlin. A lot of the guys who were sort of edgy for their time.
Chris Cooper once told me to never have any regrets. After Chris said that to me, I walk into every scene thinking, ‘exhaust every possibility.’ Once you get to a certain place, it’s like you just deliver everything you’ve got. Don’t have any regrets. It pops up in my mind over and over and over again.
I had actually finished the manuscript of ‘The Wild Trees’ and turned it in to Random House when all of a sudden word came. Michael Taylor and his colleague, Chris Atkins, another explorer, have just knocked one out of the park. They found the world’s tallest tree. The tree is named Hyperion, 379.1 feet tall.
Like I’m seeing Chris Sale; he’s got a similar pitching style and strikes guys out a lot. Why are people only talking about my strikeouts and all that stuff?… Why not the other guys, who have similar numbers and pitch counts?
I watch Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews. That’s what I watch every night. By the time I’ve watched them, I don’t have time to watch reality TV shows.
When I was growing up, I was really into comedy. I listened to a lot of comedy albums. I loved Richard Pryor, but the comic that had the most impact on me was always my brother Chris, who was in the next room. It was tangible. If Chris could make it, I could try.
My siblings, along with my parents Chris and Kath, are the reason that I am successful. Whether I wanted to become an elementary school teacher, enter and win Alternative Miss Ireland, enroll to do a Ph.D., or visit the White House to speak about fashion and disability, they supported me.
I’m the Chris Martin of hip-hop.
I have a strange career. I know it because people come up to me, like colleagues, and say, ‘Chris, you have a strange career.’
We all should respect Chris Stevens, who dedicated his life to trying to improve relations between the Arab world and the western world.
I’m not going to change my name unless I know that the public are behind England and show that they want me to become Chris Cabanga.
Any time Chris Nolan wants to call me for advice, he can.
My father, Colin, and my brother, Chris, who is four years older than me, were a great help to me when I was younger.
My personal life is the same. At the end of the day, this is just a job. I love what I do, and it’s a great job. But it’s like my alter ego. There’s Chris Brown the singer. And there’s Christopher Brown, the down-home Tappahannock boy that plays video games and basketball and hangs out.
Chris Boardman was my first teammate and my first roommate. I saw him finish his career with an hour record and thought, ‘Yeh, what a way to go out!’
I remember looking out into the sea of phone lights as Chris Martin belted ‘Yellow’ on the piano and deciding that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
Cycling is unique in that in any other sport I’d be in a different weight category or discipline. What I do is a different sport to what Chris Froome does.
Chris Brown is a fantastic artist and songwriter and to be able to work with him was kind of unbelievable.
I do just genuinely believe Chris Hemsworth is a 6’3, more muscular version of me. And more handsome, but I try.
I started to understand how important it was for me to make my own name pretty early on after years of noticing people treating me a certain way because of who my dad was. Some people wanted to be friends, others wanted to test me because I was Chris Eubank’s son – inside schools, outside of school, on the streets.
There are moments when the grief comes bubbling up. The first time I saw Chris’s chair empty, that was really hard. And it was hard when I started folding up some of his sweaters that I so imagine him wearing.
I have never worked with anyone who I hold in higher esteem than Chris Menges. He’s an absolute, bona fide, authentic artist.
After 27 years, I walked out of my first one a few months ago. Black Sheep with Chris Farley.
Chris Farley, I was a huge fan of his growing up. I would love to do something kind of slapstick and funny, maybe where I could change my look even a little bit.
One thing that brings me great, great joy is reading the reviews of ‘Civil War’ and seeing the much deserved credit that Chris Evans is getting for his performance as Captain America.
I’ve known him for years, and I am supporting Chris Christie for president. Whether he will, in the final analysis, be the president, I don’t know.
I took the marriage vows very seriously, as did Chris. You’re there – sickness, health – I mean, really. And you don’t take those vows until you can say it and mean it.
I like Chris Rock. He’s dangerous.
Chris Weidman is a tough guy; he’s well rounded. He’s known for being a wrestler. He’s very good on the ground. He can knock people out standing up.
Chris Wallace is probably the most of an exception because his program, ‘Fox News Sunday,’ also airs on Fox broadcast stations. So he doesn’t feel as many of the same ratings pressures to please the right wing audience versus all the rest of the programs.
All comedy does that. Every comedian I can think of – Larry David, Seinfeld, Mel Brooks, Chris Rock – that’s where the best comedy comes from, from stereotypes.
Chris was very comfortable in the public eye and thrived in that kind of environment. I, less so.
Honestly, I love Ruth’s Chris.
Chris, boy, was he ever resilient, and was he ever someone who would never give up and had tremendous discipline, and he set goals and met them.
One of the matches that is pretty dear to my heart is when I took on Chris Jericho at Night of Champions in 2008.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude, and my heart is full. ‘American Sniper’ has broken records, which follows such an honest path of Chris’s life.
My fight against Chris Leben was a war, and I was fulfilled with that victory because that guy has a ton of experience fighting in the UFC.
I went to watch Coldplay in Florida and saw Chris Martin before they went on. He sang ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ before the chorus of ‘Yellow’ kicked in. That was so strange because he’s an inspiration for me. I think he’s so good, he’s sick… he’s a really nice guy too.
AJ Styles was a model for me, Chris Hero was a model for me, and to now realize that I am becoming that some mould is humbling.
While Chris Martin has a deep interest in yoga spirituality, it does not make him an expert on how best to portray Desi heritage.
People sort of imagine Chris Morris and me sitting somewhere dark, with dripping taps and chilling background music. In fact, we like to sit on his roof in the sunshine – and there’s an endless amount of just sitting there, going, ‘So, erm, er, what shall we do?’
If Mitt Romney is vanilla, Chris Christie is three hefty scoops of Rocky Road topped with whipped cream, Red Bull, and gravel.
I’ve got a variety of things I like to listen to. I like R&B. I like Chris Brown. I like Nas. I like Jay Z. Rick Ross. Kanye West. I try to mix it up.
When I first came into the league, I was in Tennessee and I had guys like Courtland Finnegan, Chris Hope, Michael Griffin – a ton of guys that were willing to pour into me and help me figure out how to be a pro, whether it was the defense, whether it was life off the field.
I just don’t see where Chris Weidman is going to threaten me. He’s a tough guy, but I’m better on my feet, better on the ground. He’s not going to threaten me with his wrestling.
I want to be a better Chris Quinn. I don’t want to be a different Chris Quinn.
I commend Chris Brown and Soulja Boy for going out there for so many years and entertaining the people.
The biggest compliment that I receive is when other black folks come up to me and say, ‘You changed the way that I thought about Chris Darden.’
I don’t stop. It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do ‘Evita.’ I want to do ‘Sweeney Todd’ with Chris Colfer. We want to do ‘Wicked.’ I’ll be Elphaba and he wants to play ‘Guy-linda.’ I want to do movies, make music. ‘Glee’ is only the beginning.
I had a number of part-time jobs after school in Willow Grove, but I did work for two summers in Ocean City as a waitress at Chris’ Seafood Restaurant. I loved it.
I’d become a corporate rock musician. I worked for ‘Chris Rea.’ He felt like another person. I even talked about him in the third person.
I do enjoy Dennis Miller, I do enjoy Chris Rock when they do their political humor, but it’s never been my goal… I love relatable humor.
