I’m not a big video game dude though, but I like ‘Madden.’
Like, when they say to me, ‘Screamin’ A.’ – I’m the only dude on the air who’s loud? I know plenty of white dudes who are screaming and going off. They’re called passionate. I’m called loud.
When you get into a car, and there’s trash, or it’s dirty, or one of the hubcaps is off, you’re like, ‘Come on, dude.’ Every woman likes the confidence and self-respect that says, ‘I get oil changes. I look after my vehicle.’ That’s what I recommend: Act like you don’t care, but take care of your body.
As an actor, a role can be a great excuse not to be in shape. I mean, you wouldn’t want to see the Dude with a six-pack, so you eat that Haagen-Dazs. My weight goes up and down.
I’m a loyal dude.
Friends always ask me what the best Indian restaurant in L.A. is. I’m like, ‘I don’t know, dude. I have an app on my iPhone for that.’
Sometimes, a concept is needed to spark myself and the vocalist; sometimes a concept isn’t necessary for that spark. It all depends on the moment, because I don’t want to be that dude that every album has to be this story or that story.
My father’s family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn’t a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude.
I probably would never fight Urijah for the belt to be honest. It’s not going to be a money thing for me that would give me that fight. I’ve got a lot of respect for him, I really do. A really humble dude, he’s been nothing but honest and real to me ever since the first day I met him.
Don’t think because I’m a positive dude, I’m going to always say something nice. If you come at me crooked, one too many times or if too many people came at me crooked too many times in a row, then they’re going to get it. I don’t always exercise that self control and I don’t regret it either.
They call it a reunion for a reason. It’s called bringing the original members back to what it was. So there’s a lot of these things that they call reunions that aren’t really reunions. They’ve got one dude from the band floating around in them, you know. That’s not a true reunion. With Pantera, it’ll never be possible.
Look, to be honest, when certain movies like ‘Ninja Assassin’ came out, that had a sexy, sexy Asian man with a six-pack, that made some people think, ‘Maybe I should go out there and date an Asian dude.’ And that did pretty good for us in a way of representation.
Every dude needs a well tailored suit. I’d say well tailored suit, a leather jacket, and a pair of jeans that really fit are vital in your wardrobe.
All gamblers lose regularly, but they rarely discuss it in public. Losing is bad for the image, dude. Nobody buys Hot Tips from Losers. Remember that.
What can I say? I’m just a relevant dude. It’s just natural. My hunger’s still there. I still keep my ear to the streets. I record every song like it’s my last. I just love music. I’m blessed.
Just a couple of minutes ago, I signed a couple of bowling pins for some people. That’s a normal thing. Somebody will hand me something and say, ‘Draw a picture! Draw the Dude!’ They’re probably selling them on eBay or something.
I’m a bit of a dude. I like meat. But I am buying it more responsibly, where it’s more sourced responsibly.
I don’t think I live the lifestyle that’s expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I’m just not that dude.
Growing up in New Orleans, when you’re in seventh and eighth grade, and you’re into music, and you’re a dorky dude, you know, you listen to the entire Rush catalog and the entire Zeppelin catalog, and you go through these, like, phases of classic rock.
To a straight man, the notion of walking around as a coiffed, waxed, nail-polish-wearing, lispy dude is uproariously absurd. As people, we find absurdities funny. That’s our first step in making sense of them.
I’ve had a lot of voices tell me what I should be making. Personally, I would much rather live and die by my own hand. If my stuff sucks, then at least I made it suck. I didn’t allow some person, some old dude in a suit, to make it suck for me.
On my mom’s side I’m Mexican, and my dad is a white dude.
If you’re an outsider looking into my life, you’re thinking, ‘That dude is crazy. He’s literally crazy.’
I did some really heavy, intensive clinics with Billy Robinson. Anyone that knows anything about Billy, he was a mean old dude! I survived training with him and Josh Barnett, right in the same vein, my head coach for, like, 12 years.
I’ve got friends and my family and people who’ve been around for years and years and years. And those people are never in doubt: They’d be my friend whether I was a homeless dude, or I had a hit single.
So there is not a lot about me that you don’t know other than that I play table tennis. I’m great, I’m great at table tennis! You will look at me and go, ‘How does that dude know how to play that well?’
I’m not a very violent dude, and if something can be settled without any physicality, I’m always in favor of that. But if somebody comes near my kids, the atavistic crazy lion comes out.
Oh, ‘The Thing’ is one of my favorite movies of all time. That changed my life because I was like, ‘I’ve got to do this.’ Something that scared me that much? It was the first R-rated movie I ever saw, and I was like, ‘Dude, I’m changed.’
In my comedy, I’m not always trying to say something, but when I’m playing a creepy dude, you’re laughing because you know that creepy dude. You’ve heard that dude say something awful, and I’m just putting a little creative spin on it.
The name ‘Wiz’ comes from me being the youngest dude in my age group of people that I hung out with. I was pretty good at anything I tried to do, so they would call me a young wiz.
When you’re the only Asian in the room, the last thing you want to do is to point out you’re Asian. And be the Asian dude.
I’m really pumped about this opportunity to be with Coach Gase… with his mind and ability to lead a team. He’s a good dude.
I have no interest in going to Egypt and seeing the pyramids. I’m just not that kind of dude.
Dilla was a John Coltrane-type dude. He was always on a higher level. He inspired my music to become looser and more soulful.
Mick Fleetwood was one of my first interviews. And if you’ve ever talked to that dude, he’s the sweetest guy in the world – he’s just a trip.
If I ever feel like I’m messing up, making the worst decisions, or I’m just lesser than – if I’m being self-deprecating – I just think, ‘Cheer up, dude, you’re a lot worse than you think.’ It makes me laugh. It takes me out of it.
I originally started playing saxophone. I started singing a little bit when I got into middle school, when I realized girls didn’t really date the dude with the saxophone.
Hometown Aerosmith fans are different from other Aerosmith fans, and that mainly has to do with Joe Perry. It’s tough to overstate his strange grip on the local psyche. Tyler is a star who belongs to the whole world, but Perry, that dude belongs to Boston.
Petr Yan’s a tough dude.
A lot of people talk about J. Lo, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, but, like, dude butts are still here.
I love being in a spot where not only do I expect my own greatness – I’m also part of an organization that expects greatness from me. Or just think of it this way: Would you want to be the dude who lets Pat Riley down?
We live in a culture that does not encourage women to be epic heroes of their own Big Stories but the mothers and lovers and wives and mistresses and muses and personal assistants, the femme fatales and fantasies and manic pixie dream girls, in someone else’s Big Story, and this someone else is usually a dude.
When I look back, I can see why people thought I was aggressive. My first single, ‘Do It Like A Dude,’ resulted in a lot of misconceptions about me. I’m confident – but I’m not arrogant.
I’m not no ‘drink wine every day’ kind of dude.
I think my fans would probably be surprised to know I’m not insane – I’m not a crazy person in real life. I’m a pretty low-key dude. I like chilling at home and playing with my dog.
I listen to a lot of Sublime. Dude, I’m obsessed with Sublime. You have no idea.
A rap dude has his rap persona, his hyper version of himself. Do you know Method Man’s real name? Or Elton John, Marylin Monroe? You make up this character. That’s kind of what we have done with Die Antwoord, playing with characters.
I make hip-hop, but use Doom as a character to convey stories that a normal dude can’t. You have writers that write about crazy characters, but that doesn’t mean the writer himself is crazy.
Some people think I’m crazy, but I’m just a normal dude that loves music.
I would love to fight Brock Lesnar. He’s a massive dude.
I have my dog Cooper, who is a Maltese, and he hears me singing a lot around the house. I took him on the road for radio promo. He is just a cool little chilled dude and comes everywhere with me. He is all stamped and approved and international.
I’m always that dude that’s looking for the next thing.
It was cool to meet Cris Carter. That dude has some of the best hands to have played the game.
I won the Olympics. This is a dream, dude.
I always feel like there is some dude out there with money that I could fall back on if I needed to.
My first real showbiz job was on a Nickelodeon show called ‘Hey, Dude.’ That was my first real paid scriptwriting job.
