I grew up with my dad’s music, so my introduction to rock was Alice Cooper and Cinderella and Dio and Black Sabbath, so I was listening to a lot of dude bands – Guns N’ Roses and Metallica, all that stuff.
Dude, I’ve played almost every position except for President. When I did ‘The Event,’ I was head of the CIA. When I did ‘Chuck,’ I was head of the NSA. For a guy that’s a hippie at heart, I don’t know where they think of this.
I’ve been on predominantly ‘white’ shows before, and I had also been on predominantly ‘black’ shows. I would complain that when I was on a white show, they would only hire me because there was a black character or they needed a black voice. But then I would be mad if they went and hired a white dude in my position.
The cool thing about Kyle Killen, he writes really defined characters. I was a big fan of ‘Awake’ and also ‘Lone Star.’ I just think that he’s a really, really special writer, and complex and deep, and a really smart dude.
Everybody knows YG is a turnt up dude that can’t nobody control.
If you’re a young black dude from the hood you want to come through the hood in a car that makes a lot of noise.
Kaytranada’s a really cool dude.
I was an actor in New York, dude.
On our early demos, I was really frustrated with my recorded sound. I’d tell my dad, ‘Dude, I want more ‘cut’ on my guitar – I want more treble.’ And he’d say, ‘Now, son, you don’t want that. It’ll hurt your ears.’ But my dad just didn’t understand.
The majority of our fans are dudes. And the chicks you do see at our shows are probably there because of a dude. Slayer shows are nothing but sausage fests. We always joke that we really need to write some love songs or something.
I want people to hear my lyrics and my melodies and say, ‘That dude’s in pain.’
I make music that surfers dig, but, like Brian Wilson in the Beach Boys, I’m the dude who never gets on the board.
I had just finished working on a play, and we started to talk to the ‘Happy Endings’ folks. There was interest from both sides, which was exciting, because I thought it was very fresh. Adam Pally’s just a really funny, talented dude. I thought I’d be great to jump on and do some comedy.
I think I’ve become the go-to mustache man. It works in period pieces. Modern-day mustaches are probably creepy. But I get compliments – everyone’s like, ‘Wow, love the ‘stache, dude.’
Cornrows came back with a vengeance in the early ’00s with every dude trying to grow his hair out to get ‘braided up.’ It was crazy. Girls were getting carpal tunnel in hoods across America trying to make plaits out of 1.5 inches of ungreased hair.
I know I’m not a buff dude in any sense, but I’m more than comfortable with my body.
LL Cool J was a rapper-turned-actor, and I also relate to him because he was sort of a ladies’ man and had a female fan base, but yet he’s a positive dude. You never read about him getting into trouble or going to jail.
I don’t have a ton of talents. I’m not this conventionally attractive TV dude.
The Scarecrow needed a brain, the Tin Man needed a heart, and the other dude needed courage. I need love. You feel me?
Ben Askren, he’s a tough boy. Golly, he’s a tough boy. That’s what wrestling does. When you wrestle your whole life, you got to be a tough dude to wrestle.
When I was a kid, I didn’t have any girlfriends. I was a very nerdy-type dude. Believe me, being a ham does not turn girls on.
I feel like I’m a confident dude, so I feel like I can get away with wearing something bold.
I’ve seen a dude who had the Wu logo tatted on his face. I mean, his whole face was tatted, but the Wu was the biggest thing on his face. That is a statement, something that means a lot to us.
I believe I’m better looking as a dude than a girl.
I’m a laid back dude, I don’t really get excited.
I’ve been approached by many different people, but I don’t really want to be known as a collaboration dude.
Going to high school in rural Florida, we always partied down in the woods. Somebody – one of the rednecks – would leave class and mow a path out to a field, and we’d drive out there. Dude, every party I went to was lit by a bonfire. Acoustic guitar.
I’m kind of a loner type of dude when it comes to basketball.
With my face paint on, I don’t look like a regular black dude.
I’m a cool dude.
The funny thing that still cracks me up is when you get a grown man coming up to you shaking asking for a picture. I’m like ‘Dude, you know I’m a scrub, right?’
I guess there’s enough information out there to support that I’m a crazy, wild dude and rock and roll and this, that and the other. And there’s enough information to support that, you know, I’m a single father, that, you know, has been a pretty standup guy in his community and pretty private about that stuff.
People in football love to talk about mental strength. Well, I’m the strongest dude you’re ever going to meet.
I eat a lot. I’m a big sandwich dude. Turkey, mayonnaise, mustard, cheese, yes. I love craft services.
The horses forced into the chuckwagon races die of heart attacks, broken necks, broken legs, and other injuries. It’d be easy to get off on western tradition without this bloody spectacle. Dude, it’s the Old West, not ancient Rome!
But ‘Hey Dude’ was shot in Arizona, and that took me to the West Coast. We did 65 episodes. It was not a show that a ton of people saw, so it was like doing acting classes and getting paid for it. At that point I had the acting bug. So I went to L.A. to give it a try and never left.
Thank you… fat dude with giant headphones on the subway, for looking like what would’ve happened if Jabba the Hutt mated with Princess Leia.
I think you really have to remember what you loved about making music in the first place. Ultimately, people can be like, ‘We’ve seen this dude in many movies,’ but if they hear a song and they’re feeling it, they can look past all the personal things and not hold it against you that you’re also an actor.
Sometimes you have producers tell you ‘I’m a huge fan, I’m a huge fan.’ But David Guggenheim, I have so much love for this dude.
I think it’s corny and cheesy for a dude to holler at a girl. That’s just disrespectful in my mind. I may talk to girls, but I don’t hang with girls; I don’t date girls. I haven’t really found anybody.
Children crave routine and find listening to the same stories over and over again soothing. If you’ve grown weary of the holiday books you’ve read your kid 7,883 times, try adding ‘dude’ to the end of every line of dialogue.
With the last couple of Pantera records, we kept getting more and more narrow-minded because of Phil. He didn’t want to experiment or take any chances, and it was like being in a tube that was getting to be so small you couldn’t even breathe. Personally, I think the dude was afraid of success.
I feel like I am a lot of who I am because I watched these shows that said it was okay to be a total weirdo. Shows like ‘Pete and Pete,’ ‘Hey, Dude,’ ‘Salute Your Shorts’ – that’s what I grew up with.
When you’re a little kid, you have nerve. I’d walk right up to whoever was recording and say, ‘Hey, dude, what’s the lick of the week?’
I don’t want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don’t want to be the Dance Dude. I don’t want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it’d drive me crazy.
You don’t need Beanie Sigel in the building with a pre-perception that this crazy dude might do anything.
If I got into a fight in a bar, I’d miss the dude by miles. I wouldn’t know how to connect. It would be a comedy.
I hate politicking. I’m not the type of dude to like get around 13 guys and talk about who’s next. I can’t stand that. I like to take action.
When you deal with a comedian who has a specific act, you can’t hold ’em back. You got to work with ’em, dude. What you think, I’m just gonna do what’s on the page, say ‘yes sir, no sir’? I’m creatively beyond that.
I can’t get enough of this guy called Baths. He’s a total L.A. dude and really young as well. It’s super-electronic, but with almost Hall & Oates-style songwriting. Without the context of the production, it could be super-cheesy, but it has amazing harmonies.
My mom’s never been married. I’ve never even seen my mom kiss a dude.
The Tom Brady sandwich would be a prosciutto with a nice Buffalo mozzarella, on a crispy baguette with a little fresh basil. Brady is classy; he’s a really cool dude. He’s got a lot of flavor.
I think: ‘Wouldn’t it be great to work with Bill Murray?’ And then I’m like, ‘You know what, just appreciate Bill Murray from afar, don’t find out that maybe he’s not the dude you want to work with.’
I am definitely trying not to take films that are mostly about dude problems, not because I don’t think they’re worthy problems, but there are a lot of people who will take those.
I’m a West Coast dude, definitely, but I do like the city of D.C. It’s cool. A lot of things to do. It’s just cold.
I was a quiet kid – I didn’t think I needed to be the funniest guy. I was always more of a listener. I went to 12 different schools, and I wasn’t the charismatic dude, but I was captain of the track team and wrestling team.
It was easy to get the offers for the good-looking vapid dude. I guess that’s my power alley.
Snoop Dogg eats terrible. That’s another reason I had to leave him. I would have been dead of a heart attack. He literally eats at 7-11. That’s where he does his grocery shopping or it’s Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles, or it’s Denny’s delivery. There’s not a piece of salad or vegetable within two miles of this dude.
