We didn’t say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna pick a bunch of cover songs,’ or, ‘We’re gonna write an original song that has to sound like this, because we’re a metal band, so we’re gonna cover some metal songs.’ We did the opposite.

When I first got into the major label system, they were like, ‘Hey, you’re great – now write with a million people so we can get songs.’ That was something I hadn’t done before, and the songwriters I was working with had worked on some massive numbers – like ‘True Colours.’ One of the guys wrote ‘Livin On A Prayer.’
Hey, a hard background is not an excuse.
I’m big on story structure. I studied with John Truby, who mapped out story by means of moral wants and needs, and that’s what I do. Hey, so does John Irving.

A man never apologizes for the fact that he has to work. He might say, ‘Hey, I am so sorry my hours were long today,’ but he’d never feel he has to explain the very fact that he has a career. Once I stopped apologizing, I noticed both my kids also stopped complaining and asking me ‘why’ I worked.

I stopped a lot of people who wanted to shove me into the real big time. Your ego wants to say, ‘Hey, I’m somebody, man,’ but I knew there were many days when I just wanted to be John Cale.
People think you can find a mentor by walking up to somebody and saying, ‘Hey, be my mentor,’ or by sending an e-mail to someone you’ve never e-mailed before and saying, ‘Hey, I want you to mentor me.’ But, mentorship really happens in rooms that you’re actually in.

I’m out here for opportunity and championship and a belt that spells my name, but on a bigger stage, my bigger goal, my mindset is to completely eliminate any doubt in some of the minds that, ‘Hey I don’t want to take my dream to WWE. Where I’m from, what I believe in, it could cause any trouble.’
Everybody asks me, ‘Hey, what’s your most memorable fight?’ For me, it’s definitely the Matt Brown fight.
I try to be outraged by things that other people are just very accepting of, as though they’re normal and can’t be changed. A lot of what I write about is, ‘Hey, you know, this stuff is really awful, and it doesn’t need to be, and that’s why it’s so offensive.’ Things should be better.

Comedians work great as actors because they’re good under pressure. With a lot of actors, you have to make them feel like everything’s going really well to get a good performance out of them.

My first two years in the CFL, all I thought of was getting back to the NFL – it was like ‘I’ll put my time in up here and go back.’ Then I went and signed a nice contract in Calgary and was like, ‘Hey, I can make a living up here, this is great football, and I’m having a blast.’
When I was in Iraq and Afghanistan, I never once turned to someone before a raid on a house and said, ‘Hey, man, are you a Democrat or a Republican?’
I was a hard-times governor. I had to steer my state through the deepest recession since the 1930s. But hey, tough times don’t last and tough people do. And can I tell you that Virginians are tough people? We are tough people.
That really has been my message over the years: ‘Hey, we’re all in this together, so let’s laugh about it a little, please.’ It adds perspective to an argument if you know where you’re coming from.

Hey, I was raised in the church.
Getting attention is my business. My whole life’s predicated on, ‘Hey, look at me!’
Hey, I think it’s easy for guys to hit .300 and stay in the big leagues. Hit .200 and try to stick around as long as I did; I think it’s a much greater accomplishment. That’s hard.

The women like us because we’re the first real women rappers, and the men like us because we’re strong. We’re not some soft little rappers with soft little voices. The men who see us end up going, ‘Hey! They’re kickin’ it!’
The only way I could get comfortable around people was to make them laugh. I was an obedient girl, and humor was my one form of rebellion. I used comedy to deflect. Like, ‘Hey, check out my zit!’ – you know, making fun of yourself before someone else has a chance to.
If you’re really satisfied with your position on something, you just say, ‘Hey;’ you just very calmly present something.
I was 21, and I was in college, and I’d eat real healthy during the week, and then on the weekends I would reward myself, and I’d just go to town on whatever my parents had in the fridge. And my little brother would be like, ‘Hey.’ And so it was actually him that begged me to do my first contest.
People tend to shy away from tall guys who dance, but hey, we can make it look good, too!
I don’t like to just talk about nothing, or less than nothing. If it’s something interesting, I’m fine with it, but, ‘Hey, Zack, how is your day?’ People ask that, and somebody actually tells them what happened in their day? I don’t have any real interest in that.

A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.
The things I could have done had Hollywood been more open? I don’t dwell on coulda-woulda-shoulda. Because, hey, I’ve had a great career.
I never wanted to do a regular sitcom, because I’d be incredibly bored doing the same character week in, week out. But the beauty of ‘The Simpsons’ is that it’s 15, 16, 17 characters. It’s the variety that keeps it interesting. And hey, they’re all my children.

Wherever I go, people still shout out: ‘Hey, hey, we’re The Monkees.’ And I never tire of that.

The weird thing about the subway is no one looks at each other. So I play the O2 in London. It’s a 20,000 capacity venue, and then I’ll take the subway to my gig, and everyone’s going to my gig, and no one looks at you. If anyone does, they say, ‘Hey, you look exactly like James Blunt, only smaller.’
When I work a Cowboys game, my social media will blow up with, ‘Hey, don’t forget who you played for,’ or, ‘You traitor.’

The first time I ever did a play, in junior high school, I said to myself, ‘Hey, people like me doing this. I’m making them laugh.’

I don’t have a nickname. But, hey, they can call me what they want – The Silent Assassin, The Underground King. In Japan, they call me American Knuckle Star. Call me what you want.
‘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.

I think you always want to have a project where it’s not about you: where you’re serving it. Where it has needs, and you’re trying to meet those needs, so you’re trying to lift it out of you and put it out there and then say to people, ‘Hey, I think that’s it; let’s head that way.’
I’m not saying that people have to listen to rock music. It’s a great, cool thing and it can really be liberating for a lot of people but, hey, so can Charles Dickens so I’m not going to judge.
I think it’s all machismo – ‘Come on, you’ve got to guard your guy, man. If you can’t guard your guy, then you can’t play defence.’ A lot of it is accountability, where you say, ‘Hey, you’re matched up with him. Go do your job.’ The zone kind of sometimes moves a lot of pieces around.
I didn’t know how to do a press release, so I’d call the local Assembly member and say, ‘Hey, can you fax me one of your press releases?’ ‘Which one?’ ‘Any one.’
The ‘Hey now’s’ are delivered as people pass me. As I just get near ear range, I hear, ‘Hey now!’ and that’s very funny.
I think I’ve been incredibly raw my whole career. A lot of people spend a lot of time trying to look cool and spend time being guarded and putting up walls. I just never had the time. It seems more honest to say, ‘Hey, this is who I am.’
This is what I hate about dating – when you just don’t know where you stand. I’m pretty honest, I’ll say, ‘Hey I don’t know what’s going on,’ but I don’t like the game of it. Like, do we like each other? Great, well let’s explore that.
Everything I do is criticized, scrutinized, sometimes praised. Everything is always looked at like hey what’s next. It’s made me grow a much thicker skin.
As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I’ve done my job.
The last thing I want my child to see is Dad running around in the middle of the pack. That would really upset me. And that would upset him. I would be embarrassed to take him to school with kids saying, ‘Hey, how’d your dad do this weekend?’ ‘Well, he finished fifth or sixth’.
I want to go as hard as I can, and if I look like a guy out there playing ball, well, hey, I feel sorry for the opponent.
Hey, I may loathe myself, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m Jewish.
It definitely wasn’t like, ‘Hey, I’m going to steal that, and nobody’s going to know.’ The original ‘T.R.O.Y.’ came out in 1992, and it was like a 20th anniversary kind of thing. All of those intentions were there for it to be resurrecting a classic for a new generation. I tried to honor it.
I don’t really like to drink. I don’t like the way alcohol feels or tastes. On occasion I’ll do it as a social thing, just to kind of go, ‘Hey! I did something with you guys!’
Fans in Madison Square Garden are a little bit hipper, but they are more vocal. It’s like, ‘Hey, you work for me, bro. I bought this ticket. Now get out there and entertain me.’
I didn’t have a lot of great jobs. I was a third-shift legal proofreader. I did office work for people where a friend might say, ‘Hey, we need someone,’ in his office, and then I will have a month or two weeks or whatever somewhere. I was – I taught fiction workshops.
I might not understand everything a Democrat or liberal thinks but hey let’s be honest, I don’t understand some of the things the Republicans think, but that doesn’t make me some dumb hick that doesn’t have the right to live here.
I talk to a lot of European coaches. I got friends over there that I steal stuff from, talk to, maybe have them look at what we’re doing and say, ‘Hey, what would you do differently?’
There are so many YA novels being made because there is so much young talent that can bring it to life. J-Law was one of the first females to do it with ‘The Hunger Games,’ and it’s been going on for a while now. With J-Law, it was like, ‘Hey, I’m Katniss,’ and then, ‘Hey, I just won an Oscar!’
I don’t really look at genre. I mean, sometimes you might be playing heavies a lot, and you’re like, ‘Hey, it’d be nice to do a romantic comedy.’
I’d rather have people dislike my style than change it. If someone says, ‘Hey, Yngwie, you play too damn much,’ I don’t care. They way I play is the way I like to play. If people like it, great. If they don’t, it’s still fine with me.
Kids come up to us all the time and say, ‘Hey, I’m not a Christian, but what you guys are doing is cool.’ Or they say, ‘Man, there’s something different going on when you guys play.’ I believe that’s the Spirit of God touching who God intends to touch, whether it’s just one person or 50,000 people.
My dad was pretty old school. I’ve had a job since I can remember, and it’s not like he was like, ‘Hey, what kind of car do you want?’ My first car was a ’91 Ford Crown Victoria that was $1,000. And I had to buy every car after that. I had to do it all.
I love being a grandparent. I’m one of those you want to avoid – I pull out the iPhone and say, ‘Hey, wanna see my camera roll?’
I think, hey, everybody has a right to change their mind.
My manager called me and said, ‘Hey, there’s a series at Neflix.’ I’m like, ‘Netflix? Oh, boy.’ At that time, it was just a strange thing to hear. It’s like going, ‘There’s a series at Blockbuster.’
I was bullied in first grade, and it’s definitely not fun. But always tell somebody instead of holding it in. Communicate with people and just say, ‘Hey, I’m being bullied. I need help.’
At the end of the day, Democrats go out and appeal to 30 percent of the far left; Republicans go out and appeal to 30 percent of the far right. Hey, there’s a big middle ground here that’s not represented. I think that, Bill Weld and myself, I think the Libertarian Party really occupies that ground.
I was a very private person. I never had an open social media account. So, for me to walk down the street and have people say, ‘Hey, Tan!’ I turn around thinking, ‘Do I know you?’
Everything I do, I want to be A.J. Styles. When you see a guy come out with dry, long hair, I want you to be like, ‘Hey, that reminds me of A.J. Styles.’ That’s what I want.
I think my purpose was just to get out and sing. I love to sing. I wasn’t even in it for the – you know, the prize. I was, like, ‘Hey, man, I’m going to sing.’

I know, it was a little bit out of control, but hey. It was all fun.
I want to go and fight the best guys in the world and show people I’m the best. And hey, if something doesn’t go my way – I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I realize that’s a possibility in competition, and that’s what happens.
I want to share some insight into why someone would want to be a SEAL. A lot of us faced obstacles growing up. I didn’t have any type of real nurturing as a kid. I hope people will relate to my story and go, ‘Hey, if this guy can do it, so can I.’
Hey, I’m like the Wayne Gretsky of the entertainment biz – I have other people do my dirty work while I skate around and get to be a nice guy. What can I say? I’m a coward.
I’d rather play in front of people who wouldn’t listen to Slayer. That to me, is more like, ‘Hey, listen to us.’
So, there’s like one luxury you take and since we do that, y’know, you’re involved with people in suits; business people all the time. But hey, if I sit down on a bar and they leave, good for me.
I had a dream that my dad passed away and that Jesus came into the room and he was basically knocking on my door, saying, ‘Hey, you need to find out more about me.’ So that Sunday morning I ended up going to church, and that’s when I got saved.
Hey, I’m a good software engineer, but I’m not exactly known for my fashion sense. White socks and sandals don’t translate to ‘good design sense’.
All I can say is, hey, if you have fun doing what you do, if you have fun playing soccer, the creativity is just going to come as time goes on.
The first time I ever actually had a line was on ‘A Different World’, my best friend Cree Summer’s show. I was in L.A. visiting her, and she said, ‘Hey, there’s a walk-on part, why don’t you audition for it?’

What destroys more self-confidence than any other educational thing in America is being assigned to some remedial math when you get into some college, and then it’s not taught very well and you end up with this sense of, ‘Hey, I can’t really figure those things out.’
I didn’t want ‘Ramy’ to be a commercial, like ‘Hey, Muslims are good!’ We’re underrepresented, so the instinct when we get an opportunity like this is to show people that we’re good, that we have the same shared values. What’s more important to me is showing that we have the same flaws.
I’m not a union guy in the sense that I know a lot about how they operate. But I know fighters. They are individual athletes. This is not a team sport. I think it’s going to be hard to say, ‘Hey, do you mind not fighting on Saturday and walking around the arena with a picket sign instead?’ I just don’t see it.
Is it ignorance or apathy? Hey, I don’t know and I don’t care.
I remember once seeing a guy in the grocery store who looked so much like my character the Archangel Gabriel, I wanted to go up to him and say, ‘Hey, put that Red Bull down. You’ve already got wings.’ My friend had to sternly remind me that he was a stranger and I did not, in fact, create him.
I watched ‘Hey Hey’ religiously every Saturday night like every other single human that I knew.

I was making out with this woman, and my shirt was off, and she leaned over and, in a really cute, girly voice, went, ‘Hey, fatty!’
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?’
It ticks me off to hear people say, ‘Hey man, at your age you don’t look like you’re slowing down a bit.’ Like, can I just be a football player? Why does the 33 age have to coincide with me when you talking football?
You know how many times I have to witness the transition from, ‘Oh, get away from that thug,’ to, ‘Oh, wait a minute, that’s the guy from ‘Weeds’! Hey, can I shake your hand?’
Once people realized that, ‘Hey, we’re going to be left on Earth here, and everything is going to hell quickly,’ sci-fi soon became about our own self-destruction.
I would tell Vince McMahon, ‘Hey! I’m telling you, I’m going to run this place one day.’ And I think Vince likes to hear that. He knew I was motivated. He knew I was hungry.
I teased Randy Orton because he started using my finish, the Angle Slam. I said, ‘Hey, I don’t mind you using it, but at least give it a name.’ When he hits it, the announcers just say, ‘Well, he just hit that… thing.’
‘Minecraft’ is like that, where you might say to one of your friends who doesn’t play games, ‘Hey, just sit down and try this with me.’ There are other games you might put in front of somebody and say, ‘I know you don’t traditionally play games, but you’ve got to check this out.’
Each match is a huge effort from a physical point of view. You can only hit so many balls before your elbow or some part of your body is going to say, ‘Hey, don’t do that to me.’
I always figure hey, look, I’m not a rock star, I’m an actor. I’m somebody who’s meant to be other people and I’m not meant to be here representing myself. I’m happier when I’m presenting myself as other characters.
By the time May rolls around, I’m probably going to want to spend a month on an island. But if Steven Spielberg or Steven Soderbergh or any number of directors were to say ‘Hey, there’s this role, are you interested?’ I’d be there in a flash.
I’ve been struggling so long with my career that I haven’t been in a position to invite a woman into my life. It would have been like, ‘Hey, come live with me and my two roommates, and let’s make ramen noodles tonight.’

I started watching movies my grandpa did, and I saw what an impact they made on the world. That’s when I said, ‘Hey, I want to do that too.’
I knew from a young age that I was attracted to guys. I didn’t know if it was a phase… I didn’t want to say, ‘Hey, I might be gay. I might be bi.’ I just didn’t know… I wanted to find who I was and make sure I knew what was comfortable. So I didn’t tell anyone growing up.
Hey, nothing grows to the sky. There will be a successor movement. Right now it’s nascent.
If you’re just saying, hey, I’m doing this. I’m working to make money. I’m working to increase my status. If that’s all there is, I think you will find out that it’s meaningless.
Hey kid, do you want to come and talk to Charlie?
I think airlines have been very much parrots. They’ll just follow what everyone else is doing. Why change a model that they’re happy in? And it takes someone like myself or Richard Branson who comes from outside the industry to say, ‘Hey, let’s try something new.’
I can’t take ‘The Room’ and show it to an agent and say, ‘Hey man, cast me in something.’ It’s an alien film.
I actually really suck at naming books, so lots of years ago, readers were sending in their ideas for titles, and what we realized is that they were smarter than us. So we thought, Hey, go for it. So now we have a contest every year.
Hey sky, take off your hat, I’m on my way!
In high school I just loved to compete and play sports. I didn’t have a sport that I was going to say, ‘Hey, I’m going to play this at the next level.’ Whatever my best opportunity was was what I was going to do.
When David Fincher called me up a few years ago and said, ‘Hey, I’d like you to score this film ‘The Social Network,’ I said, ‘I’m flattered, but I really don’t have any real experience scoring films, and I’d rather not screw it up on a high-profile project. And I like you and I don’t want to compromise our friendship.’
America used to say that hip-hop was a cancer. Then it embraced that cancer and realized, ‘Hey, this isn’t a bad thing. It is part of us, just more America.’
I’m pretty fit, naturally. I do moderate exercise, and I try to eat pretty well and I think it has an effect on me. But hey, I’m putting on the insulin tire like everybody else, but that’s just a function of getting older.
I remember Robert Plant coming backstage after the first show saying, ‘Hey, boys, I should be opening for you.’ That felt pretty good.
We’re about getting all the people who want to compete with Samsung to be able to build devices. So we’re kind of down at the guts level saying, ‘Hey, we can give you the hardware, the sensor platform, the software you need to go build your own one.’
I was singing a lot of waltzes. And I was with Jerry Kennedy, my producer, and he was playing me some songs, and he said, hey, I want to play you this song that I’m going to get Jackie Ward to record.
You tell me I play like a man, and I’ll tell you, ‘Hey, thanks.’
We have all the power. Us consumers have all the power, and if we can show that, ‘Hey, I want transparency,’ Hey, I want something that’s going to be nutritious and great,’ then suddenly, kale will be all over the marketplace, and turmeric will be all over the marketplace.
I’m not looking for ‘outer esteem’ anymore, what they call ‘other esteem.’ I’m looking for self-esteem. And people think that self-esteem is built with accomplishments. And, ‘Hey, look what I did in my life.’
You and I can be busy, and we take a vacation from work. You can’t take a break from being poor. You can’t say, ‘Hey I’ve had enough of worrying about money, I’m just going to be rich for a couple of weeks until I’ve recovered.’
I used to be able to pitch them on the basis of the zombie action, and I could hide the message inside that. Now, you can’t. The moment you mention the word ‘zombie,’ it’s got to be, ‘Hey, Brad Pitt paid $400 million to do that.’
I wish there was a switch that I could flip, where no one knows me. And then, when I’m ready to make a splash, I’d flip the switch and say, ‘Hey, I’m ready now.’ Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen.
If you go and stop people at a supermarket and ask them for their receipt and say, ‘Hey how much did you just spend?’ middle class shoppers have no idea. The poor know what they just spent.
If I want back in time and said ‘Hey, 10-year-old Jagmeet, you’re gonna grow up and in 30 years you’re gonna be the leader of a national party.’ I’d be like ‘What are you talking about?’
Hey, it’s been a great ride for me, a great life. Everything I have I owe to baseball. Baseball owes me nothin’. Ain’t nobody has to give me nothin’. I would be embarrassed if I had a day somewhere. I don’t want no day. I want friends, to live my life the way I wanna live it.
Hey, I was raised in the church. I was an altar boy and a choir member. I almost became a priest – until common sense grabbed hold of me.
When I go back to family reunions everybody goes, ‘Hey cousin! Hey Auntie!’ And I’m like, ‘Okay I don’t know you, I have no idea who you are.’ I am auntie and cousin for so many and even the ones in prison call me collect. And I’ll be like, ‘Which of my family members are giving you this phone number?’
Pop culture, it’s crazy. There’s all this violence in video games. In ‘Call of Duty,’ people are literally just blowing other people up. Hey, let’s protect your country from your couch while eating your sandwich.
It was just such a demeaning thing to do, being in silent movies. They’d call you up and tell you, ‘Hey, jump off this building!’ and they’d give you a hundred bucks, and you’d do it.
It seems that, every day, a new brand is popping up, and everyone has become an expert on supplements and training. Hey, there’s a lot of great brands and products out there, but there are also those just looking to grab a piece of the money pie.
I had not expected to ever be in a position to able to say, ‘Hey, see the magazine with J. Lo on the cover? They reviewed my book inside.’
People always ask us, ‘Hey, is there going to be a ‘Beerfest 2′?’ I don’t know if I have another beer joke in me.
I’ve been in Iraq, and it never occurred to me to go, ‘Hey, this war is bogus,’ to some guy who’s 24 hours a day trying not to get shot at or blown up.
Hey, it’s tough not to have a ton of admiration for the fans of Baltimore. And, for it me, it’s because they are such a hard-working, blue-collar fan base that loves football.
I hope that 9/11 has grouped us as one, and in doing so it has united us. Perhaps as a unit we can help each other get ahead, survive and succeed in this free world. And hey guys, let’s not forget out manners!!
Obviously I know if you’re putting yourself out there, saying, ‘Hey! Listen to my music!,’ with pictures of yourself in the magazines, then people are going to judge you. ‘I hate her music. I hate her hair. I hate her production. I hate her videos.’ Fine: don’t care. That’s the great thing about art: it’s not for everyone.
I did a stint on ‘Dollhouse,’ and prior to my stint on ‘Dollhouse,’ I had no plans to be working with Joss Whedon until he said, ‘Hey, do you want to do this?’ When he calls, I’ll pick up the phone, and that’s how that works.
Sometimes directors will hire you and say, ‘Oh, we love your work.’ And then they start to tell you how to do it. I say, ‘Hey, man, back off. You hired me to do it. Let me do it.’
You could ask yourself, ‘Hey, when you were 20, are you the same person?’ You’re not. You may have the same values, you might look a little older, you might have some things that are the same, but your heart, everything about you, starts growing, changing – good or bad. It just depends on how you approach life.
I’ve been in grocery stores, and if they’re playing my music, I’ll yell, ‘Hey! I wrote that!’ I’ve been next to cars and have done that!
I always try to be very human in my performances and hang out with my fans. It is cool to be a celebrity, but at the end of the day I want to empower my audience and say, ‘Hey, I am just like you.’
Nine times out of 10, extenuating circumstances aside, I believe that people are where they are by some kind of choice on their part. You need to acknowledge that, ‘Hey, I’m here because I steered my horse in this direction.’
You have to be on TV a surprisingly long time before you’re stopped on the street. Then, when you are, you get a lot of, ‘Hey, you’re great! What’s your name again?’
I used to think I was tough, but there’s a difference between bravado and courage, and I only started to show courage when I began to get help. So now I make a point of telling people, ‘Hey, it’s a good thing to ask for help, not a bad thing.’
I obviously have a knack for getting on paper what a lot of people have thought and didn’t realize they thought. And they say, ‘Hey, yeah!’ And they like that.
Before ‘Twilight,’ occasionally I would get the ‘Hey are you that girl from that movie?’ but no one knew my first and last name. The fans of the saga are amazing, and it’s very flattering.
Keep in mind that there are computers, that do touch things up. Like when I got a hold of the poster for ‘Gold Diggers,’ I said: ‘Hey, wait a minute! Those aren’t my teeth!’
I don’t even consider directing Burt. I just say, ‘Hey, Burt, the camera’s here. Read the joke and let’s get onto the next shot.’
There is a good chance that, at 60, I will be in a wheelchair, but hey, I signed up for that. I know that.
When you come to America, it’s a very serious thing. It’s not like you arrive and they say, ‘Hey, come on! Do movies!’ I can’t just be hopping around. I have to focus and be still and make sure that I put the time and effort in. Because if I don’t, I could lose it like that.
I feel like I’m held more accountable to stay healthy now because now I’m a role model to young girls to not have eating issues and to not say, ‘Hey, it’s OK to starve yourself’ or ‘It’s OK to throw up after your meals’ – that’s not OK.
That’s a big important deal, the way people see you from the stage. Once in a while, I’d ask people, ‘How did you enjoy the show?’ ‘Hey, you looked great.’ But how did I sound? That visual look is very important to people.
This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey that’s great. But it’s very predictable. There’s so many ways you can screw it up.
I gave a funny speech at my wife’s birthday party, and I’m thinking, ‘Hey, I’ve still got it.’
Hey, once a Bond girl, always a Bond girl. It will always be a big deal – it’s an exclusive club.
So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber, and we want to say, ‘Hey, we’re real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh.’
An established film director can just pick up the phone and say to a star, ‘Hey, are you interested in doing a commercial?’
So many times, when you’re doing a job, you feel like you’re a nuisance at times to people, intruding on their space when you ask them questions; maybe they don’t want to deal with you at the time. And now, it’s, ‘Hey, welcome, where’s Craig?’ Whereas, now, it’s kind of different.
I was pleasantly surprised after the book came out. It was like, hey, the home team put down a nice score.
I’m kinda not one of those people that likes to put up trophies in my house, because I don’t want my mom to come be like, ‘Hey, you’re full of yourself.’
I had my battles. I had my times of just being upset and God would show me, ‘Hey, I’m right here, I’ll walk you through this and it doesn’t make sense now but just trust me.’ That’s where faith come in – trust.
It doesn’t bother me when someone is totally unaware of anything I’ve ever been in or done and says, ‘Hey, man, I really like your music. I’ve never heard of you.’ That doesn’t bother me at all.
When I get in a bad mood about anything, I realize, ‘Hey, I’m still working. It could always be a lot worse.’
If we can’t have the courage to tell our constituents, hey, we’ve got to cut back, then if we can point to something and say, I would like to vote for more benefits for you, but this balanced budget amendment or statutory spending cap or whatever the device is, is preventing me from doing it.
I can be a rock star with a television show and still have a self-esteem problem. So it’s nice to have your dad go, ‘Hey Melissa, I’m proud of you – you’re doing good.’
There are plenty of genre-crossover books, films, and games out there, but to do the job well, you have to do more than just smoosh a couple of ‘in’ concepts together, and hey presto, instant millions.
Now my son Travis wants to finish all of his schooling online and be a full-time actor. I said, ‘Hey, it’s not all riding bicycles and egging cars and houses. Why don’t you go finish the seventh grade, and we’ll talk about it later.’
At the Grammys, you walk down the halls and everyone’s got five security guards. You can’t talk to anybody. You always feel out of place, like, ‘Hey, the rednecks are in town!’
People still come up to me and say, ‘Hey, ‘Teen Wolf!’ ‘Teen Wolf Too’ closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it?
I’m super and very openly obsessed with voice-over. ‘In a World…’ was my love letter to the industry of voice-over. And in a way, I sometimes think of it as a 93-minute audition to the voice-over industry to say, ‘Hey. Consider me!’
I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, ‘Hey man, we don’t go for that anymore.’
As a kid, I used to sit there and figure out how to play everybody’s song, and through learning all those songs I learned how to put chords together, and it evolved till I could say, ‘Hey, I just wrote that.’
When Steven Spielberg comes to you and says, ‘Hey do you want to write a movie about robots?’ You just say yes.
You don’t really get it from NASCAR that they want you to be the bad guy or the good guy. They’ll kind of joke around with you and be like, ‘Hey, that was really good this past weekend. You did a great job for us. Ratings were up.’
I mean, a Mexican boy couldn’t be anything else but an Indian. And why did you take the name of Quinn, they used to say to me. Hey, you’re an Indian, so I played Indians.
My voice right now, hey, listen. I don’t know how long it’s going to last.
I accidentally met Don Callis in Japan. I was at New Japan and I was with mutual friends, and I met Don on accident and started telling him some of my ideas. We started talking and he basically at dinner was saying, ‘Hey, we should give you a job.’
My plan for the online version of ‘Famous Monsters’ is to become an online ‘uncle’ to an entire group of people who have never read or heard of ‘Famous Monsters of Filmland.’ The site will not be written in a scholarly fashion. It will be written in a playful, ‘Hey, check this out!’ kind of way.
You can say, ‘I am a poet, rock-climbing shaman, and my name is Hiawatha Moonbeam,’ and people in America will say, ‘Hey, that’s great. All power to you, man’.
Frank Sinatra. Hey, Frank, I saw you in ‘The Pride and Passion,’ and I want to tell you the cannon was wonderful!
A lot of people in Hollywood are on that ego trip. They think they’re more than somebody else. I’ve told a lot of stars in my career, ‘Hey, man you’re looking down on the people who made you. lf you keep doing that, you’re gonna fall back down.’
If what you do in life is perform to open up eyes and minds, to make people laugh, then it better damn well be new! It shouldn’t be just a repetitious ‘Hey, I’m still here!’
Moderators may take flak – but, hey, that’s part of what we sign up for.
I’ve never had any real big blow-ups. I go against the grain. Hey, it’s life, I’m happy.
Some people have a misunderstanding about the Army. Some people think, ‘Hey, you’re in the military, and everything is super-hierarchical, and you’re in an environment that is intolerable of criticism, and people don’t want frank assessments.’ I think the opposite is the case.
I don’t want this to be, ‘Hey, you’re the guy who had that one show. What are you doing now?’ I want it to be a career.
A lot of people don’t like bumper stickers. I don’t mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It’s like a little sign that says ‘Hey, let’s never hang out.’
Twitter is maybe the worst thing. It’s cool when you can tweet out your show and be like, ‘Hey, come see my show,’ or ‘Check out this Kickstarter,’ but it’s also this weird 140-character vehicle for insidiousness.
When someone insists that you watch a show that’s already been on for a few seasons, they’re basically saying, ‘Hey, you’re not doing anything for the next five weeks, are you? Because have I got a plan for you every single night! It’s ‘Weeds!”
Usually, impersonations come out of something you dig, because you’re listening to it over and over. And you kind of start developing… You’re really trying to emulate them, then you realize, ‘I sound ridiculous doing this. Oh, hey, maybe this is a funny impersonation.’
For the first time ever, overweight people outnumber average people in America. Doesn’t that make overweight the average then? Last month you were fat, now you’re average – hey, let’s get a pizza!
‘Twilight’ has been a great opportunity, and it’s been great fun. Hey, if I’m 50, and someone still wants an autograph for ‘Twilight,’ OK, cool.
Zombies are so popular. There’s a lot of chaff out there. For every one person who is legitimately passionate about zombies, there are a hundred people who are thinking, ‘Hey, I can make a buck off of this.’ The problem is that some of their stuff is so lame.
Sometimes we just sit around and sit on our hands and don’t do anything because it’s like, ‘Hey, that’s not my problem.’ You can’t do that when you’re a superhero.
I literally will write Shonda Rhimes, the creator of ‘Grey’s,’ an e-mail once a month or so and just say, ‘Hey, I love you and thank you.’ That was my moment. Because of that, I’m doing ‘Magic City.’
I really thought I was gonna have a straight gig. But these jazz musicians put their arms around me time and again and said, ‘Hey, young fella, you’re one of us. Come with us.’ That’s a big deal when you’re young and looking for your way in the world.
I don’t know what a person does that does not have a relationship with God. When he goes to the doctor and the doctors says, ‘Hey, you’ve got less than two months to live and there’s nothing we can do for you.’ Who do they turn to when you’re given something that earth shattering?
Hey, a woman changed her mind – what else is new?
It’s less to do about me – ‘Hey, I’m black and it hurts my feelings; it’s a symbol of slavery and oppression’ – and more to do with the fact that, as an American, I will not honor a group of treacherous traitors. That’s why I despise the rebel flag.
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father’s voice. But isn’t that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy’s shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
Regarding social media, I really don’t understand what appears to be the general population’s lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey it’s them, not me, so whatever.
I can’t say to Elton, ‘Hey, let’s walk around the corner and have a coffee.’ Someone as well-known as that can’t go anywhere in the world without being recognised. Elton has written the soundtrack to a lot of people’s lives, so they feel a kinship with him, so they come up, and that does colour things.
Acting is a cruel enough business. One minute everyone’s going ‘Hey!’ and the next they’re going ‘Who?’. You certainly don’t need people knowing your private business, especially if you want to come out with your head still attached.
It’s about enjoying what you do, and that’s what I try to tell everybody, ‘Hey. When we wake up tomorrow, let’s go hard again and let’s try to do better.’ That’s all we can do, and that has been me all these years. I’ll keep doing that until I retire.
We became friends as we became a band. Our friendship evolved as the band evolved. It had its ups and downs, but it was mostly ups for the four of us. We got along well almost all of the time. Hey! We liked each other and we still do.
Van Morrison is probably, at this point in time, my biggest influence as a vocalist. When we were making our last album I had a vinyl copy of ‘Veedon Fleece’ in the vocal booth in front of me, in the dorky sense. I think there were candles around, which is really tacky, but hey, I needed to channel Van the Man!
Facebook, from what I can tell, is the virtual equivalent of dropping into the homes of several million people, all of whom say at the same time: ‘Hey! Let’s set up the slide projector!’
Hey, we all have our fear. Mine is bugs and lobsters!
I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, ‘Hey, sorry about the autism, but here’s a step-by-step list on what to do next.’ But doctors don’t do that. They say ‘sorry’ and move you along.
I was maybe halfway through my career, and I was shooting a Nike commercial, and the director came to the trailer and said, ‘Hey man, you’re really gifted at this. I get a lot of athletes that come in, but you were prepared, and you made everything seem very natural. I really think you should look into this.’
Prior to ‘The Shield,’ basic cable was just a wasteland of reruns and NASCAR. When we came along, I think there was a collective, ‘Hey, if they can do that, why can’t we?’ from the basic-cable networks of the world. We ended up being the cornerstone for a network, and a great one.
Goal scorers are always sniffing things out, but once they realize ‘hey, if I don’t have the puck I can’t score,’ then you have to be a part of the solution so you can get it back so you can score.
We all had to dodge the idea we were spokespeople for our races. Like, ‘Hey, it’s the Mexican Guy! The Filipino! The Chick!’ We’ve always stood up to it and said, ‘Fine, bring it on and we’ll show you how we rock.’
I think one of the nicest things that we created as a generation was just the fact that we could say, ‘Hey, I don’t like white people.’
But hey, when you live in Watts, you need a little smack to get by, you know what I mean? You need something soft and comfortable in your life, ’cause you’re not going to get it from what’s around you. And society isn’t going to give it to you.
I was in love with a girl in my class when I was in primary school, and she obviously thought I was a freak, so that wasn’t working out. And the the guys in my class, every two weeks they’d say, ‘Hey, we spoke to her, and she really likes you now. You should go and ask her again.’ And then I’d go and ask her again.
A friend of mine – a cameraman at MTV – lost a lot of weight from cycling, and I thought I’d try it, too, thinking whenever you look at a cyclist they all look super-skinny, so hey, why not? But then it turned into such a psychologically satisfying thing.
My first killer amp was a Sunn Beta Lead. It was solid-state, but that Sunn was incredibly loud. I used to say to my friends, ‘Hey, check it out. It’s only on two.’
Hey, look at this guy Kenny G. with his thing, walking up and down the aisles of the concert hall and running off the stage and playing the same time. It’s old hat!
People ask me, ‘Man, are we gonna see one more match?’ And I’ve always said, ‘Hey, never say never, because you never know what you’re gonna do.’
Hey, I live life by the moment. I have no regrets. I live it to the fullest. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and I’m learning from them. I’m ‘The Situation.’
When I was 17, my main goal was to be in a band and travel the world. I ended up getting to do that with my old band Hey Monday. I got to see the world and learn how to tour, and the next thing I knew, I was on ‘The Voice.’ So it was just a crazy, crazy ride.
On the ‘Jersey Shore,’ people got a glimpse through a keyhole of who I really am. But the world really started to see me on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ I am not the best dancer. That was never my strong point. But I wanted to let people know, hey, this kid is risking a lot just to know a different side of him.
Hey, I was lucky twice. I know it’s three strikes and you’re out. I don’t think of myself as being invincible anymore.
You make yourself broad. You make yourself appealing. ‘Hey, y’all, I’m cool with everybody.’ That’s my message.
I shouldn’t have to come out and say, ‘Hey, I should be a starter again.’ There’s a lot of guys that say that, that shouldn’t be starters. The key is to go out on the field and lead your team to show people that, ‘Hey, this guy is a good guy in the locker room. He can lead a team. He did it on the field. He’s shown it.’
The best museums and museum exhibits about science or technology give you the feeling that, hey, this is interesting, but maybe I could do something here, too.
No one ever comes up to me and says, ‘Hey man, I loved your work in ‘Road Trip.’ They say, ‘Are you that guy?’ Like, they have no idea. ‘Were you in ‘American Pie 2?’
I want to do something that people can really say, ‘Hey, man, that was good, I’m proud of you, I’m proud of that.’ ‘Pride’ and ‘Transformers’ and things like that.
I was in awe of my father. His generosity was beyond anything I ever could imagine. The reason I say he’s like Don Corleone is he was always breaking off hundreds. I’d be like, ‘Hey Dad, I’m going to McDonald’s with my friends,’ and he’d just whip out a hundred: ‘Here, go, have fun.’
I had girlfriends who really irritated me by their devotion to the Beatles. I didn’t begrudge them their interest, and there were songs like ‘Hey Jude’ that I could appreciate. But they didn’t seem to be essential to the kind of nourishment that I craved.
I started singing one day along with my cousin, and I didn’t take it too seriously. The people started telling me, ‘Hey, you have a nice voice.’ and I was like, ‘Really?’
When I was in college going through the draft process my dad was like, ‘Hey Michael Jordan loves your game,’ I’m like dad? This is before social media; this is before any of that so I’m like, ‘Dad, get out of here, there’s no way you can know that Michael Jordan likes my game.’
A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.
I had not even thought of running for president until one day in 1991, at a small fund-raiser, completely unanticipated, someone stood up and said, ‘Hey, Mario, in all the years we’ve supported you, we’ve never heard you talk about the presidency, and we want to know why not.’
Sometimes my body wakes me up and says ‘Hey, you haven’t had pain in a while. How about pain?’ And sometimes I can’t breathe, and that’s hard to live with. But I still celebrate life and don’t give up.
I remember going for a drink of water, and one old bloke shouts, ‘Hey you, young lad! Your grandad is under that grass!’ I just turned around to him, gave him the thumbs up and said: ‘Nae problem!’
When I first joined SAG, there was another John Reilly. My dad was John Reilly, too, but growing up I was John John. Nobody in life calls me John C. It’s more like, ‘Hey you, Step Brother!’
Democrats were quick to point out that President Bush’s budget creates a 1 trillion dollar deficit. The White House quickly responded with ‘Hey, look over there, it’s Saddam Hussein.’
All the biggest companies are based on a founder who had a need, hacked it together, and said, ‘Hey, other people might want this.’
Hey, I’m just trying to become the Michael Caine/Gene Hackman of my generation.
You can be a sex symbol through music or film. Hey, there are some politicians that are sex symbols. Is that something you should fight? No. Sex is very natural.
I’m a villain. But hey, villains have fans, too. They might have more fans than the heroes, and I’m OK with that.
I’m pretty restless in bed, so I can lie there for a couple of hours and be like, ‘Hey, that happened today. What if that happened at a zoo?’ I’ll jot the idea down. Then I’m like, ‘All right, so now that it’s a zoo, that penguin’s loose,’ or, whatever. I usually start with broad ideas.
Buddhist practices offer a way of saying, ‘Hey, come back over here, reconnect.’ The only way that you’ll actually wake up and have some freedom is if you have the capacity and courage to stay with the vulnerability and the discomfort.
My mom told us never to reveal that we were Shia in school. You would find out that some other kid was Shiite, and you would whisper, ‘Hey,’ or you would see someone at the mosque, and you’d be like, ‘Hey, that kid’s Shiite!’ There was a lot of tension, a lot of violence in Karachi between Shiites and Sunnis.
If I see somebody that’s doing something good, I tell him, Hey, man, keep doing those things. Those things can make you be a great pro.’
Regarding social media, I really don’t understand what appears to be the general population’s lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey it’s them, not me, so whatever.
I’m an artist with a message, and my message is more for society, casting the mirror onto them and saying, ‘Hey, this is what we look like, what are we going to do about it, how are we going to use what we’ve been through to aid where we’re going.’
There are not too many places I can go without someone saying, ‘Hey, can I take a picture of you with my daughter,’ or whatever. I’m humble when it comes to that stuff. I never refuse a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. The fans are the ones who put me where I am today.
As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I’ve done my job.
Hey, I took karate when I was 17 years old; I am dangerous.
People see me on the street, and they point to me, and they’re like, ‘Hey! All right, all right, all right!’
It’s like, backstage at ‘SNL,’ like, if you come back after a show or something, or a lot of times even at the after-parties, we’re just pretty tired and like, ‘Hey, what’s up.’ Just getting a drink and kind of chilling out. Nothing crazy.
As a rule, I try to avoid the French Quarter because of the crowds, especially Bourbon Street. But hey, some people love it. A great, wild, adult thing to see is the costume competition in front of the bar Oz on Bourbon early morning on Fat Tuesday.
Anarchy would be a world that nobody felt responsible for, that nobody felt any sort of love for. When there’s real intelligence happening, when there’s real love happening, there’s a sense of responsibility: Hey, we’ve got to take care of this place and each other.
I’ll tell you right now, man, if WWE was to call me and say, ‘Hey, Book, we want you to do a match with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin,’ I’d do it!
You can’t hold back. You can’t think of the subtleties of playing. You just have to get out and really bare it all, and hopefully you don’t fall off the plank. And if you do, hey, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again.
The more I talk, the more I come out and people get to know who I am and what I’m about, it’s only gonna help. And if you don’t like me, hey, cool. Everything in life is 50/50. I accept the good and the bad and just move on.
Kevin Nash came to me; he goes, ‘Book, hey, Book, man, you know, this nWo thing is getting real hot, bro. And, man, we need some color, man.’ I swear to God, that’s how he said it! ‘We need some color, bro.’ He goes, ‘We want to bring you in.’ I go, ‘Man, thanks, but no thanks. No way.’ I said, ‘I’m a solo act, man.’
If I say, ‘Hey, I’m Psy.’ ‘Psy?’ ‘The guy from the video on YouTube?’ ‘Oh.’ I hate that. I’ve got to be more popular than the video. So I need to keep promoting myself.
I really like red hair. I think if you have brown hair, you want blond hair; if you have blond hair, you want blue hair. We always want what we don’t have. It takes a while to admit, Hey, it’s just part of me.
Something inside of me just said ‘Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,’ and I just took off.
At The Verve’s first-ever gig, I said that we were gonna blow this local band off the stage. It was only in the local Wigan paper, and they rang me to ask why I was being so aggressive. I just went, ‘Hey man, it’s like boxing. I’m just trying to sell a ticket.’
My parents were out of town and sent me to stay at my grandma’s house. That’s where I learned how to make pancakes. I served them to all the old ladies who lived on her block. After the meal, they each left a $5 bill next to their plates. I thought, ‘Hey, I’m onto something here.’
If you want your rock stars that are completely 100 percent serious about themselves and you want them to pretend like they’re 25, I’m probably not the guy for that. But if you want to come and say, ‘Hey, you know that guy right there, he’s just being himself. I kind of like him for that,’ you know, then that’s me.
Every time a U.S.A. Today slides underneath my door, it’s like they’re saying, ‘Hey, you’re not that smart, right?’
People come up and say, ‘Hey, I know you!’ They’re middle-aged women and big burly guys. They say, ‘Don’t tell anyone, but I watch Felicity, and I think it’s great.’
Hey, you must be doin’ good, ’cause I never hear from you.
When I meet pastors, I’m not like, ‘Hey, you should go out there and be a rapper.’ Because for so many of us, I think it would just pull us away from our congregations too much to be able to serve them like we should.
If I’m, like, in a grocery store, I don’t get recognized that much, but it’s like, you know, when someone comes up to me and says, ‘Hey, I’m a big ‘Pushing Daisies’ fan,’ you just feel like, ‘Oh, wow – you’re the one who watched it. So nice to meet you.’
I always wanted to see if I could sell a movie to the public without doing any marketing because my philosophy was like, ‘Hey man, I’m reaching my audience everyday. I’m twittering with them. I’m in direct contact with them on the podcast.’
The American public is rightfully asking, ‘Hey, all those funds are coming out of my pocket, so I want to know where they’re going.’
When you listen to a song, it should make you sit up and wonder, ‘Hey, what is this!’ or give you an inexplicable feeling of joy or relate beautifully to the music in you.
Hey, I’m nothing but honest!
There have been a couple of times when kids that weren’t nice to me in high school are like, ‘Hey, man!’ And I’m just like, ‘Yeah. Thank you very much.’
As I continued to make content, a lot of YouTubers from within the community reached out and said, ‘Hey, you’re doing a great job. Would you like to do a collab? Can I help you out in any way?’
I had my battles. I had my times of just being upset and God would show me, ‘Hey, I’m right here, I’ll walk you through this and it doesn’t make sense now but just trust me.’ That’s where faith come in – trust.
Ever since they announced that golf would be returning to the Olympics, I thought, ‘Hey, I wanna get myself on the team.’ It has always been my dream.
If I make a change to a young kid to play any sport, not only tennis, instead of spending time in front of the TV or computer, that is good. I want to give them a good example: ‘Hey, go out and play and see the world.’
I have to say, it was fun doing this ‘Love Letter’ album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forevermore, it will go on undefeated. I’m also a very loving person.
My first tape was ‘Hey, I can do what y’all do.’ It’s new, flashy, and not through rap. It was a guy singing how cool he was. I’m here with big bro Drake; I’m his little gunner.
The director will be like, ‘Hey, great take. Do you want to see the playback?’ And I’m like, ‘Definitely not.’
I love doing theater. It’s what I grew up in and is my roots. I get a huge fulfillment from it. But if my path is to go someplace else, hey, I’m there.
Hey, it isn’t bad that I look young.
Hey, I was raised in the church. I was an altar boy and a choir member. I almost became a priest – until common sense grabbed hold of me.
Kane is a band I formed with my best friend Steve Carlson. We just got together and started playing guitar. He was playing some old school rock and roll, and we got together and thought, ‘Hey, let’s take this on the road.’
I don’t work with anybody on the music, of course. But my God, some of the lyrics that other people have written were so shallow: ‘Hey baby this, hey baby that.’ I need substance to the words, you know? Give me depth!
You can be a sex symbol through music or film. Hey, there are some politicians that are sex symbols. Is that something you should fight? No. Sex is very natural.
Especially now, with ‘Glee,’ it’s allowed a lot of kids to love music and performing at a young age. All ages watched ‘American Idol,’ but I think it was nice to be able to show kids, ‘Hey, you can be here, too.’
I’ve run into more people walking in L.A. than if I drove. Because you stand out so much if you walk. People from my past have stopped their cars and said, ‘Hey!’ But if I was in a car, they never would’ve seen me.
I hate my name. Especially In Liverpool, when they say Hey, Reet… ‘ it sounds even worse. I don’t think of myself as Rita Tushingham, but my mother’d have a fit if I changed it.
At the time, there was a great disagreement over ‘The Wild and the Innocent,’ and I was asked to record the entire album over again with studio musicians. And I said I wouldn’t do it, and they basically said, ‘Well hey, look, it’s going to go in the trash can.’ That’s the record business, you know.
Kids can relate to having some scary person living near their house. They can relate to, ‘Hey, don’t go near that house.’ We all can.
I’ve been fortunate that the people I hang out with all respect women and men, so there’s hasn’t been a scenario where I’ve had to step in and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t cool.’
I first heard about ‘Stranger Things’ from people dressed as the characters coming up to me at conventions saying, ‘Hey, you have to see this show. It’s ‘Goonies.’
It’s like, hey, I’ve done what I could do, I’ve accomplished a lot, and now this – especially with wrestling – if this next generation wants to pass me up, great job. Good for them.
The reality is that every movie is a new business. Nobody says, ‘Hey, let’s go down to the Pantages Theater, I hear a Warner Brothers picture is playing there.’ Or, ‘Let’s go to this theater, I hear the film came in on budget.’ It’d be ridiculous.
Hello, my name is Lisa Jakub. But most people in a restaurant/dentist’s office/yoga studio dressing room, call me ‘Hey, you look like that girl from ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’/’Independence Day’/’Rambling Rose.’ There is a good reason for that. I am that girl. More accurately, I was that girl.
Hey, we’ve all been to high school We’ve seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren’t in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy.
The worst is, a friend will invite me over, and she’ll say, ‘Hey, you’ve been working so hard. I’ll make you dinner. It’ll be great.’ I’m like, ‘That’s so sweet! Thank you!’ And I’ll come over, and she’s got hardwood samples laid out! She’s using me!
I think people need housing. And there’s empty buildings, I think people should live in there. If you want to call them squatters, trespassers, hey, I call Wall Street thieves!
Fereydun, that’s my dad’s name. My grandmother, my dad’s mom, when she was pregnant, she was dating a man from Persia, a Persian gentleman. It wasn’t his child, but he was still very supportive and said, ‘Hey, this is a great name,’ and so it stuck. So that’s what she named him.
I’m not always smiling when I’m on the golf course. Sometimes, hey, listen, people have regular jobs. You go to them when they’re working, and you catch them not in the best moment either. So I understand how people could perceive me. But come get to know me, and I’m totally a different person.
Around ’93, the radio started playing ‘Loser’ by Beck and ‘Cut Your Hair’ by Pavement, and then I got way into Pavement. That was kind of a gateway drug into indie rock. I got all their B-sides, and I got that ‘Hey Drag City’ comp, so I got into all those Drag City bands.
Sometimes I gotta look in the mirror and say, ‘Hey, they’re still saying you’re too fat, but you’re here! They gotta take it or leave it.’ And in most cases, if they leave it, it’s all good because they don’t need to be in my space anyway.
I remember having a feeling like, ‘I can’t believe this is happening!’ Two years ago I was auditioning for The Disney Channel, and now Paul Rudd is saying, ‘Hey man, congratulations on your Emmy nomination!’
Management gurus in general are, I think, best avoided. All too often they reduce your working life to a list of rules to be followed. Targets are aimed at. Goals kicked at. You then break the rules or forget them and, hey presto, you start beating yourself up.
A lot of people go into the bar and nightclub business thinking: ‘Hey, we can make money for a year or two, close and then open again,’ but for me, it’s always been a business and it’s always been about longevity.
I can look at cancer as a disease that picks me out and ‘why me,’ or I can look at it through love and say, ‘This is a wake-up call. This is my body telling me: ‘Hey, you’re out of balance here. It’s time to get in line with yourself.’
I actually met Deadmau5 for the first time on the red carpet in Hollywood for the Grammys. I was there with my daughter, and he introduced himself to me. He said, ‘Hey, I’m from Toronto.’ I had a little conversation with him, and then I realized I’m talking to a guy with a giant mouse head.
Hey, it’s been a great ride for me, a great life. Everything I have I owe to baseball. Baseball owes me nothin’. Ain’t nobody has to give me nothin’. I would be embarrassed if I had a day somewhere. I don’t want no day. I want friends, to live my life the way I wanna live it.
But hey, controversy – well, it hasn’t hurt me in 50 years.
I have great tenants. They’ve all become my friends. They call me and say, ‘Hey Kev, we’ve got a drip!’
I have never had a plan. Things happen to me, and, of course, I make friends who later say, ‘Hey, you know who would be good for this? McKean would be good for this.’ And they hire me, and if they like me, they hire me again, or the word gets out.
Acting is not hiding to me; it’s revealing. We give you license to feel. ‘Hey, she’s crying, so it’s okay if I cry, too.’ That’s the most important thing in the world, because when you stop feeling, that’s when you’re dead.
Hey, China – a little insight into how we American women think: We’re damn smart and we will willingly respond with emotion when presented with a set of facts.
Hey, once a Bond girl, always a Bond girl. It will always be a big deal – it’s an exclusive club.
Don’t be afraid to be ugly on Snapchat at 2 a.m. when you wake up and roll out of bed. It’s those real moments that create that a connection; it’s like, ‘Hey, this person is just like me.’
I get a lot of email, so if you’re sending me an email, if you want to rise above the clutter, put something on it: say, ‘Hey!’
I think growing up in the shadow of New York shaped me for life. Hey, you come from Jersey, you get used to being dumped on by the big city.
Cancer’s like the ultimate excuse. Who’s gonna say, ‘Oh, no, you have to show up for this one?’ ‘Hey, I got cancer. I can’t be there.’ It’s the ultimate eraser.
Hey, I’m a girl, and we like to play dress-up.
When I see someone filming me, I don’t usually think, ‘No, man, don’t put this up online!’ I’d think, ‘Hey man, you don’t get to go to shows very often, put down the camera and enjoy it!’ I love going to theatre and to shows so much.
Once you get the kids raised and the mortgage paid off and accomplish what you wanted to do in life, there’s a great feeling of: ‘Hey, I’m free as a bird.’
Hey, any time you’re throwing bodies over board it is to save yourself.
I don’t think Jack Nicholson has ever called me Stephen. He’s like, ‘Hey, Dorff. How are ya?’
I was possibly the first to showcase Chinese ingredients. So I was one of the first to say, ‘Hey, you do not have to use imported vegetables to make it good.’
Failing doesn’t have to mean not succeeding. It can be, ‘Hey we tried that. We can go forward, smarter.’
Hey, I’m not rich, but I’m lucky. I get to do what I want to do. That’s not an easy thing to do in this country.
Hey, I’m a former union president myself and also an attorney that represented a lot of unions.
The hard part for me was not the wrestling – it was showing emotion, telling a story, and being able to connect with fans. Coming out as Ric Flair’s daughter and being called athletically gifted, it’s hard to say, ‘Hey, like me! You can relate to me!’ It wasn’t working, so I completely switched my character.
I think that some of the earliest ideas in the modern period were actually from astronomy. You look at Galileo: He goes up and points his telescope up at Jupiter and finds out, hey, Jupiter has these moons.
I was a storyteller for The Band. It was never, ‘Hey guys, here’s a song about what happened to me.’ I was always more comfortable writing fiction.
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to simply walk down the street. In New York, I dashed in to buy a big pair of sunglasses to conceal myself, but the guy behind the counter shouted ‘Hey! It’s Dr. House.’
Pitchers really don’t deal with the managers a whole lot. When we come in the clubhouse, we see him, we say, ‘Hey.’ That’s really it.
Since September 11, security has been increased everywhere, and we have new IDs to get on to the Fox lot. I drove to the security gate, but realized I’d left my ID in my other car. I just broke into that voice – ‘Hey, man, I’m Bart Simpson. Who else sounds like this?’ The guard waved me through.
When a guy comes unofficially, then he, to me, is sending you a message that, ‘You know what? Hey, I’m interested in Clemson.’ Now, he may hate it when he gets here. But at least he came on his own. That’s just my personal philosophy.
I’m the type of guy who, right as I’m taking off, I’m deciding, ‘Hey, where do I want to go today?’
Just like I have my critics, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has critics, and I was one of the biggest ‘Hey man, you’re never here’ guys around, but not anymore. He’s completely committed to WWE.
When you endorse a Republican, everyone sort of frowns on you. I don’t know why, but hey.
It was that famous joke: What’s the last thing the drummer said before he got kicked out of the band? ‘Hey, I wrote a song.’
I knew I was different when I was about six years of age but I just knew that I wasn’t like everybody else. I mean I wasn’t like the other kids. I didn’t know what that was. But I guess it was when I was in seventh or eighth grade, I’m like, ‘Hey, something’s wrong here.’
I spent so many years with people saying, ‘Hey, you’re like America’s boyfriend!’
A friend of mine – a cameraman at MTV – lost a lot of weight from cycling, and I thought I’d try it, too, thinking whenever you look at a cyclist they all look super-skinny, so hey, why not? But then it turned into such a psychologically satisfying thing.
But, hey I did everything the right way and earned my spot in this game, nothing was given to me.
I have come a long way from a girl with pigtails and acne showing up and going, ‘Hey guys, I’m here! Where do you want me to fall over?’
I know Noah Baumbach from a long time ago. We were hanging out one night, and he asked if I wanted to be in his movie. If somebody whose stuff you really like says, ‘Hey, you want to do it with me?,’ you got to do it. I would like to say that I get these offers all the time, but I don’t.
It is unusual for a coach to call you, just from a fundamental standpoint and say ‘hey we’re watching what you do.’
And, hey, I’m not under the illusion that everything’s just going to be hunky-dory work wise forever. I’ve never been under that illusion. Things could go away tomorrow.
Starting out, I bet I didn’t get a lot of parts because of my strange voice. I’m not consciously thinking, ‘Hey, sound like a squeaky dog toy mixed with a bagful of rusty nails.’ It’s just what my voice has done.
I’m honestly not the kind of person who wants to step up to a podium, test the microphone and be like, ‘Hey, I’m homosexual and this is who I am, hear me roar.’ That’s not who I am.
I must say that the role in Hey Ram’ is one of my favorites. It brought me a lot of acclaim and appreciation.
I love that mentality: ‘Hey – you know what? – you may beat us, but by God we’re going to beat the hell out of you.’ I’d rather go down that way, with people that will go down swinging than, ‘OK, let’s accept losing.’
I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. ‘Hey, man, what are you playing?’ ‘Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I’m performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!’
A lot of people say, ‘Hey, God doesn’t have a sense of humor.’ Yes, He does. God has a great sense of humor.
Casting is really exciting. With ‘Twilight,’ I wasn’t involved at all with the casting in the original. They kept me in the loop, which was great. They’d be like, ‘Hey Kristen Stewart’s gonna do it’ and I was like, ‘Really? Awesome.’
I’ve said for many, many years, as long as I can ever remember, when I’m asked, ‘Hey, what do you look for first in a quarterback?’ The first thing I look for is accuracy, because the rest of it doesn’t matter.
It may sound kind of brash but you really do have to treat it like just another job. It could be over tomorrow, and if you invest too much of yourself in, ‘Hey I am the show and the show is me,’ you’ll get snapped hard.
You grow up dreaming about playing in the World Series since you’re a little kid. I remember the days in the back yard with my parents playing whiffle ball, saying, ‘Hey, it’s Game 7 of the World Series, are you gonna win or are you gonna lose?’
I overuse words. My kids catch me saying stuff. They’re like, ‘Hey, you say that all the time.’ ‘Boom’ is one of those things.
People want to see you on the pitch. That was why I left Chelsea. I didn’t want to hear people saying, ‘Hey, he’s doing well in training, blah blah blah… ‘ The game is what counts.
Mexicans work so hard. Jamaicans are like, ‘Hey mon. Take it easy. You work too ‘ard.’ Sneak into the country Sunday night, working Monday morning.
When Target gets hacked, I don’t hear people saying, ‘Hey, was it Kohl’s? Was it Wal-Mart?’ It doesn’t matter. There was a hack; you deal with it.
There’s no better feeling in the world than when I walk in a pub, or a nightclub or a bar or a supermarket, anywhere, and you see people out the corner of your eye and they’re going, ‘Hey, there’s Ricky Hatton. Isn’t he a good lad, coming for a pint with us in here?’ It makes you feel proud.
‘2 Dope Queens,’ it was just a way for us to showcase female comedians, showcase comedians of color, showcase LGBT comedians, and shake up the landscape and be like, ‘Hey, there is more than just what is out there.’
When I called people and said, ‘Hey! Do you want to work for the president?’ they usually said yes. I had 2 people say no. One person said no because they were a Republican; one person said no because they’re a Libertarian.
When he would give you direction, it was not sitting in a chair saying, ‘Hey, babe! Do this and that and the other thing.’ Mr. Sirk would ask, ‘May I speak with you?’ and sit down and say, ‘I think this should be done this way. And how do you feel about it? Do you feel it that way?’
Hey ‘Bachelor,’ take notes! Trusting one another and sharing a journey to health leads to lasting relationships!
Hey, Christian rock, if you want to be good, stop copying U2. U2 already did it. You know what I mean? There’s a lot of U2-esque Christian rock.
Vegas to me is a place like Hollywood or New York where you can walk around and people recognize you but it’s like, hey, that’s cool, and then we go on with our lives.
I come from the Midwest, from the suburbs – growing up hanging out at the mall and looking at the corn fields across the street. I kind of was embarrassed by it for a long time. Then I decided, ‘Hey, if everyone else can embrace their homeland and where they’re from, I can do the same!’
I don’t advertise what I do to my kids. I don’t go around waving a flag. I’m sure they are proud, in a certain way. I’m not like ‘hey kids – check this out.’ No matter what they do, your dad is still your dad. Nothing is going to help you out in that regard. Dad is just not cool.
Hey, over here! Have your picture taken with a reclusive author! Today only, we’ll throw in a free autograph! But wait, there’s more!
Everyone’s like sheep on social media; like, one person starts making noise, and everyone’s like, ‘Hey, yeah!’ and then you got a whole bunch of people making noise at you.
I can’t just go out in a T-Shirt and say, ‘Hey, today I’m not wearing a bra.’
While you’re improvising, you may come up with something which will break him up. As soon as that smile comes out, you know that, hey, we’re having fun.
I always get stopped by security and immigration, telling me, ‘Tell me who the terrorist is, or we won’t stamp your passport!’ The last time that somebody did that to me – at LAX, actually – I was like, ‘Hey, don’t ever ask a brown girl that in an American airport!’
It’s like, if you sign a guy you know is a punk and a jerk, you can’t complain like, ‘Hey, the punk jerk is acting like a punk jerk!’
I don’t generally like things that are too pedestrian. But at the same time, and if I’m in the right mood, hey – I ain’t gonna lie – I listen to Joni Mitchell. I listen to ‘Blue,’ I listen to Miles Davis.
I’m not Ben Askren or a lot of these fighters. I’ve never called a reporter like, hey, I want to be on your show, book me, you know?
I love my fan base because they never high-five me; they always get really shifty and hide. Adam Sandler’s fan base are like, ‘Hey!’ and high-five him and want to hang out, but mine go behind pillars and get really freaked out.
I used to eat because food tastes so good. I love food, it’s one of the best things on this planet. But I changed the way I was thinking. I started asking myself, ‘Hey, am I eating because it tastes good? Or because I really need some more? Am I really still hungry?’
I get messages from 21-year old white dudes who have just gotten out of an expensive college and say ‘Hey can I pick your brain?’ and I have nothing to say to them because A. They already have all the advantages and B. My advice would be the same as anyone else: Go do open mics.
Hey, we have obligations. We all work for a living now.
When they were small and my wife really had no other responsibilities, except taking care of the family and all of us, it wasn’t that big a deal. It was fun. Hey, we’re going to Moscow. We’re going to Italy. We’re going to Toronto. We’re going to New York.
I don’t like to just talk about nothing, or less than nothing. If it’s something interesting, I’m fine with it, but, ‘Hey, Zack, how is your day?’ People ask that, and somebody actually tells them what happened in their day? I don’t have any real interest in that.
When you’re 17 and a record label says, ‘Hey, do pop,’ you listen.
It’s our responsibility for the village to say, ‘Hey we’re going to create these programs,’ whether it’s sports, creative arts, music, we need some things to give young people positive things to do, and that’s including jobs.
We’re not interested in bombarding our users with, ‘Hey, play this game, play this game, play this game.’ It gets annoying, it gets in the way of messaging, and it gets in the way of staying in touch with people who are important to you.
My dad emphasized athletics. My mom did as well, but my mom was really hard on the academic end of things and always stressed, ‘Hey, you’ve got to have the grades, you’ve got to be prepared for life outside of sports.’
No one would say, ‘Hey, I think this medicine works, go ahead and use it.’ We have testing, we go to the lab, we try it again, we have refinement. But you know what we do on the last mile? ‘Oh, this is a good idea. People will like this. Let’s put it out there.’
I want to be so famous that I’m the pop-culture reference that people would make to try and be racist to me. So I’d be walking down the street, and someone would be, like, ‘Hey, look at this Kumail Nanjiani.’
Nobody wants to sit where I’m sitting and say, ‘Hey, this is the reality. I did two movies, six guest-star spots and I starred in a one-woman show, and I’m not making any money. I’m on TV every day in every country in the world, and I don’t make any money.’
I don’t know if I ever realized, initially, that I didn’t tic when I was so focused on my acting. I think it was after I had already done it a few years, when I went, ‘Hey, interesting that this happens.’
A lot of time, I have to be the person who just goes, ‘Hey dude, don’t even trip. Don’t worry about it.’
Hey, man, I toss a stick for a living. Gotta spice up that deal, y’know. Gotta stand out.
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.
As a man, you think, ‘Hey, man, I want to be like Bond or Tintin.’
With my fighters, there’s no excuses like, ‘Hey, listen, he’s a dumb guy. Came from the mean streets of somewhere. He’s just not all that bright.’ These are educated guys, most of them went to college, they have families, children, etc. These are smart, rational people I’m dealing with.
Very few people have the guts to come up to you and say, ‘Hey, are you gay?’
A lot of people attack music like the Soulja Boy music, but hey man, my kids love that.
Everybody in comedy has something like that happen to them: They bomb, or no one shows up. You’re like, ‘Hey, I’m funny, trust me!’ And the world collectively goes, ‘Yeah, you and everybody else.’
Hey, man, I like to look good; I wear make-up.
If I were to write my epitaph… Epitaph? Hey, shut-up Albert. I’d want to be remembered as someone who loved his sport and tried his best.
There’s no one here in America swimming the Pacific Ocean – or the Atlantic, or the Caribbean – to leave this place. The reason why is because of the freedom. Freedom for a man to mark out his own destiny. It’s not, ‘Hey, you have so much.’
With the success of the last three or so years, when a lot of people start treating you differently, there’s a danger that you may start to think of yourself differently. You rely on your friends to say, ‘Hey, wake up!’
I am fortunate that I have a good support network who I felt I could say, ‘Hey, I need to find out why I am speaking like this,’ and they could find out who I needed to speak to.
The good Lord is amazing; He opens up doors. I was close to abandoning the dream, and He was like, ‘Hey, slow down there, buddy.’
I was living in my truck, bouncing in bars – a 20-year-old kid trying to break up all these red neck fights. But hey, I did what I had to do to survive.
I think the most insidious version of crunch is when you say, ‘Hey, I’m working for this triple-A video game; I personally want it to be as good as possible, so I’m going to stay tonight until 10 P.M. to finish this feature.’
I never really feel like just standing there and telling jokes. I want to move around. In fact, it’s hard for me to write a joke where I don’t end up on the ground for some reason. Hey, at least that way, I know no comics will steal my jokes. Too many bruises.
I would type in things like, ‘How to play beginner songs on guitar,’ and one of the first I learnt was ‘Hey, Soul Sister’ by Train. I taught myself these chords I didn’t know the name of and slowly started to get the hang. I was obsessed with it.
I’ve got corporate executives, my bosses… this is true… who will text message me… and say, ‘Hey a, heard you had chemotherapy today, want me to stop by and pick you up something to eat and bring it to you?’ Whose boss does that? My bosses do that.
If you tell someone, ‘Hey, your daughter is going to win a Nobel Prize someday,’ it makes it less likely. If you say, ‘Your son is in danger of dropping out in the ninth grade,’ it could make it more likely.
I’m not going to lie: it’s tough. There were a couple of games where you’re down, and you’re in a really dark place, and you don’t know if you’re ever going to come out of it. You realize, ‘Hey, I’m having a bad day,’ but you realize there are people out there having worse days.
It’s about making small changes at first and adding foods to your diet before you take any away; start with one extra vegetable or fruit at every meal, and hey, presto, that’s 21 portions a week.
Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, ‘Hey, come see my play,’ he’d say, ‘Sure.’ He’d see one, ‘Oh, good play’ – you know, very typical dad reaction.
I was watching ‘Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood’, ‘Sesame Street’, ‘Electric Company’, ‘Romper Room’, and ‘Villa Alegre!’ when I said to my self, ‘Hey, self! Wouldn’t it be fun to be one of those kids on the TV?’ My mom thought it was a pretty good idea, too… and she instantly moved us from the Bay Area to Malibu… nice.
Michael, if he wants an operation on his nose, plastic surgery, hey, he can do it. It’s his right.
Hey, the TV was my friend. As a child, I always said, ‘I want to live in there someday.’
That’s the greatest compliment I can get: when somebody from Key West says, ‘Hey, Bubba.’ That means I’m in!
We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
Hey, I think comic actors are the best actors.
There are a lot of musicians I’ve met on Twitter where it was like, ‘Hey, I like your music’ – and then I ended up meeting them and it turned into a friendship.
I find myself chatting with my paintings, not deep and meaningful stuff, but things like ‘hey there buddy’ and ‘oh, look what I did to your nose!’
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father’s voice. But isn’t that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy’s shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
I’ve had statements made – ‘Who in the heck wants to hear a 60-year-old singer?’ That statement was made – it’s disheartening, you know, because you say, ‘Well, hey, why should a guy feel like that about it?’
Online is such a brilliant, brilliant way to connect with young readers – even if they just want to tweet, ‘Hey, I read your book!’ – that, absolutely, I connect with that. But I also treat writing as solitary and keep it to myself as long as I can.
I used to say, ‘Hey, man, what kind of a stupid question is that?’ to a newspaperman asking me heavy things right after a race when I’m still in an emotional state. Now I at least try to answer.
My sister pursued acting, and one day, I was like, ‘Hey, I want to do acting, too’ – this was just in commercials – and then one day, I got an audition for my first movie, ‘Smurfs 2,’ and I did it.
I’m not the type of guy who goes to members of my team or the other team and says, ‘Hey, I’m awesome,’ because I can improve in so many ways.
There’s a tendency on the part of Americans, all of us, to say, ‘Hey, the Cold War is over, the Soviet Union is gone, we don’t have to worry about these guys again.’ We always have to be worried about them, we always have to be concerned about them, and we have to be well-informed.
I’ve seen a lot of brands fail because they went, ‘Hey, look, we’re from New York, and that’s what we’re all about.’ But wherever you go, people are proud of where they are. So even though we’re from New York, what we do is a mindset: it’s got to work in Japan, in Los Angeles, London, wherever.
After the games, you know, go on Twitter and stuff, ‘Hey, do you know you look like Pete Davidson?’ Like, yeah, I get it every night.
I want to create a TV show that people will watch and say, ‘Hey, I have a favorite character,’ or ‘Hey, that person reminds me of myself,’ or ‘Hey, I’ve made some of those same mistakes, or those are some of the things I’ve dealt with.’
When you say ‘I wrote a program that crashed Windows,’ people just stare at you blankly and say ‘Hey, I got those with the system, for free.’
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there.
Hey, I fool the camera. I’m a liar, a magician.
I don’t like to appoint myself to nothing, knowing I’m no better than anybody else. But it always makes me feel good to know I try to do the best I can, and those who might observe say, ‘Hey, I can take a little something from that person.’
Hey sky, take off your hat, I’m on my way!
Hey, you know what, I’ve gotta go on that ‘Letterman’ show. That show is so lame.
Obviously, if you are playing against a guy who is known for an up-tempo offense, you’ll probably tailor your practice a little bit to say, ‘Hey, let’s get a couple of fast-paced plays back to back to back to try to simulate that.’
I don’t think songs have to be like these super-#1-smash-hit-sounding songs, because I think it’s more important that it’s like, ‘Hey! This is coming out of me. This is something I connect with. This is something that I like to sing.’
I don’t think anyone’s worth $100 million if Michael Jordan wasn’t, but hey, that’s what Abe Pollin thought I was worth, and if someone puts $100 million in front of you, you’re gonna take it, too.
My first assignment was 12 weeks in Afghanistan. After that, I covered the Indian election for two months. Then I got a phone call saying, ‘Hey, we want you in Brazil,’ and the same happened for Somalia.
Everyone’s like sheep on social media; like, one person starts making noise, and everyone’s like, ‘Hey, yeah!’ and then you got a whole bunch of people making noise at you.
Bill Clinton was a brilliant politician. If President Obama was a brilliant politician he would have come out before the election and said ‘Hey we’re gonna cut taxes, grow the economy, what I’m doing’s not working, and we’re gonna change course’ like Clinton did.
There’s nothing worse than watching an old wrinkly guy going, ‘Hey, baby.’ You’re like, ‘Dude, that’s lame.’ It’s cool to fall in love and grow old with someone.
Hey, you can’t play football forever unless you’re Brett Favre or Ray Lewis.
When you get older, you learn certain life lessons. You apply that wisdom, and suddenly you say, ‘Hey, I’ve got a new lease on this thing. So let’s go.’
I’ve never hosted a party in my life, not even my own birthday party. I’d feel really uncomfortable saying, ‘Hey everybody, let’s celebrate me!’ But I’m not antisocial. I don’t hate people.
My favorite album is ‘Abbey Road.’ I love ‘Hey Jude.’
When teams see coach Gruden and myself run out on the field, they know, ‘Hey, man, we are in for it mentally today.’
Who on earth would expect a band such as Nightwish, to give you, of all people, the phone call, ‘Hey, can you come and join us now?’ Yeah, that turned everything upside down.
Auditions are just torture. I’m trying to get better at it. It’s a very difficult thing to do. You go into a tiny room with a camera with somebody who is doing this with 100 other people, and they’re so bored, and then you have to be like, ‘Hey! I’m gonna show you what I got!’
I don’t want to be one of those comics who says, ‘Hey, what’s wrong with air travel?’ and stuff like that.
From Jay-Z to Nas to Kanye to whoever, I’m just not the type to say, ‘Hey, let me get on your album.’ If they want me, they’re going to reach out and say, ‘I need a joint from you.’
I really liked Stevie Ray Vaughn, so hey – I tried to look like him.
I have great tenants. They’ve all become my friends. They call me and say, ‘Hey Kev, we’ve got a drip!’
My biggest nightmare is I’m driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: ‘Please help me.’ And the people say: ‘Hey, you look like…’ And I’m dying while they’re wondering whether I’m Barbra Streisand.
I’m Brian a lot more than I’m Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, ‘Hey Paul Walker!’ my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It’s uncomfortable. But when I hear, ‘It’s Brian!’ it’s cool. I like Brian.
What does it serve any studio to not reflect the lives of people who are giving you money, who are crying out to you, ‘Hey, please tell our stories.’
I went into the Verizon store the other day, and the salesman was pretty excited. He was like, ‘Hey Dierks, what can I show you?’ I said, ‘The cheapest, lowest tech phone you have.’ I think he was disappointed. Everybody else was running out for the new iPhone 6, but I got a flip phone.
As a child, because manga was always around and I was reading it, I naturally thought, ‘Hey, I’d like to draw manga – I’d like to be a manga author!’
It was this thing I used to do, where I would get on the phone and put my voice in a man’s voice like, ‘Hey, you’re talking to Tom.’
When I went off to college my dad would call and be like, ‘hey did you watch RAW?’
With any of the movies I’ve had a chance to do, or any of the TV shows I’ve had a chance to contribute to, people approach me and say, ‘Hey, would you like to do this?’ I laugh out loud and say, ‘Yes, that’d be funny.’ Or, I’m very moved by what I read and say, ‘Yes. How can I help you?’
I was like, ‘Hey, I love highflying. I love lucha libre. Can I just put on a mask and pass myself off as a luchador?’ Everyone was like, ‘You’re going to do what you want to do,’ so that’s what I did for the first four or five years. I just put on a mask and pretended to be this luchador.
When I was nominated for an Oscar and seated next to Martin Scorsese, there was nothing in my mind that made me think, ‘Hey, in three years maybe I’ll make another remake of ‘Punisher.”
I was a dog in a past life. Really. I’ll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.
Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, ‘Hey, I don’t care, whatever,’ but if I didn’t turn my homework in, I would panic.
I think that American presidents, that position in itself, as well as American foreign policy, it has terrorism in it. CIA agents going to overthrow certain governments – they’re using terrorist tactics. They’re not going in there like, ‘Hey, you wanna have some cake?’
I don’t want to harm my government. I want to help my government. But the fact that they are willing to completely ignore due process, they’re willing to declare guilt without ever seeing a trial, these are things that we need to work against as a society and say, ‘Hey, this is not appropriate.’
The power of network television is amazing. I’ve been performing for years but have been seen on only a few episodes of this show, and people spot me in public now all the time. They say, ‘Hey, aren’t you on ‘Nashville’?’ Most locals seem to really appreciate how authentic the show is.
The kids look at me, ‘Ah, you’re my hero.’ I want to teach those kids. ‘Hey listen, God is my hero. He died on the cross for my sins, and He’s the one. That’s how I wanna live – like Him – and I want you guys to do the same thing.
I don’t have all answers, but as far as viewing my body… I’m in a place where I can look at my stretch marks and say, ‘Oh, hey, stretch marks!’ and I’m over it.
I don’t go out there looking, ‘Hey, let me make this throw to show off my arm or anything like that.’ But if it’s there, I’ve got to take the chance.
There’s always gonna be setbacks; there’s always gonna be knockdowns. There’s always gonna be people telling you, ‘Hey, you suck!’
The fans always ask me, ‘Is Si that crazy in real life?’ and I said, ‘No, hey, he tones it down for television.’
I think I misunderstood the following in the footsteps bit, in a few of my early drinking years. I’d take any form of being compared to Dad as flattery. So if I fell off a stool or smashed up a TV set just because I was drunk, and somebody in the bar went ‘Hey, man, that was just like Bonzo!’ I would be really happy.
I always thought that the fastest way for me to get ahead and get noticed and to do well was to make my act very accessible. When I first started, I talked about family stuff, my dog, my cat. It was all I knew back then; I wasn’t forcing anything, but I wasn’t like, ‘Hey, don’t you hate doing homework?’
I’m concerned about what I see is the fetishization around entrepreneurship in Africa. It’s almost like it’s the next new liberal thing. Like, ‘Don’t worry that there’s no power because, hey, you’re going to do solar and innovate around that.’
When I was put in a situation where I’m going there, you have to look at the team and the possibility that hey, we can probably do some good things over there.
About once every four days, someone comes up to me and is like, ‘Hey, I know you from somewhere.’
Something inside of me just said ‘Hey, wait a minute, I want to beat him,’ and I just took off.
It’s an old idea. It’s arguably the first way that people learn, that, hey, if you need to learn something, if you’re having trouble with it, keep working on it until you master it and then you go to a more advanced concept. But in the education systems that all of us grew up in, we all learned at a fixed pace.
You know you have a gambling problem when it’s 4 A.M. at the Mirage Sports Book and you’re walking around going, ‘Hey you get the lacrosse scores?’
It’s like, hey, some people cook for a living, and some people milk cows. I write songs.
Parents know how to push your buttons because, hey, they sewed them on.
I don’t necessarily not believe in ghosts, but I’ve never seen a ghost. A ghost has never jumped out and been like, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’
I feel like I’m a realized artist, but hey, the good news is I can get better, and I’m going to continue to aim for that.
I’d love for my son to go, ‘Hey, Mom, I’d love to have a career that is stable.’ I’d be so happy. But of course, whatever makes him happy is what he’s going to do.
I got into comics because I wrote an ‘X-Men’ novel for Pocket Books, and I introduced myself to the head of recruitment at Marvel. I’d heard through the grapevine they liked the book, so that gave me the courage to go up to them and be like, ‘Hey, if you ever need a writer, here I am.’
Dumb luck brought on the move from business to acting. I had moved to New York when I was 23, in the year 2000. On a lark, I went to audition for a soap opera. I thought, ‘Hey, this will be a really fun story to tell my grandkids one day, that I auditioned for a soap!’
Twitter is so short, it’s safe. I don’t want my bosses to be like, ‘Hey, your script is due and we saw you wrote four blog pages.’
‘Saturday Night Live’ is a very particular beast. What it celebrates are individuals who can stand out. I did good work there, but going onstage and saying, ‘Hey! Hey! Look at me! Aren’t I funny?’ – that just wasn’t my instinct.
If you want to be a quarterback in this league or Pee-Wee, you’ve got to believe, ‘Hey, I’m the guy.’
I hit this point – I guess you’d say an end of a chapter – where I felt like I kind of did everything. I wasn’t interested in music. It was a really strange feeling, and needless to say, it freaked me out a little bit. I really started to go inward and say, ‘Hey, what is this about?’
‘Pootie Tang’ may be raw and slovenly – hey, it often is raw and slovenly – but it succeeds as a laugh getter because of the spot-on satirical notes. You might say that the movie walks it like it talks it; I’m not sure what Pootie would say.
Sometimes when I’m in the editing room and there’s a new person there, like a music editor or a post person that I don’t really know, I’m like, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t be in here. This is too personal – you can’t watch this.’ But then I’m like, hey dummy, you’re about to show this to the whole world.
I get Tweets every day from people telling me that ‘Hey, I’m going to overcome my injury or my illness. Cancer. Different diseases. I can beat it because Adrian Peterson showed me the determination and the willpower to be able to prosper and get through adversity whenever it comes.’
If you say to a group of women professors, ‘Close your eyes and think of a professor,’ what they will see is a guy. I will. And I’ll stop myself and think, ‘Hey, hang on, what am I doing here?’
On ‘Glee,’ the director can be like, ‘Hey, your face is looking a little too intense here.’ And they can show me the screen, and I can be like, ‘I know exactly what to do here.’

I called up a bunch of the CEOs of Silicon Valley companies and said, ‘Hey, can I come and see you? And I’d like to learn about what you’re doing.’ And I don’t know, most of them said yes.
When people see a talented girl, it calls to mind the very rare breed of women who have managed to succeed. If I were a dude with the exact same voice, band and songs, I doubt they’d compare me to Sheryl Crow. But hey, I’m not complaining. Big fish, small pond.
I love funny people, and when I’m with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, ‘Hey let me tell you a joke.’
Well you know, I think a lot of us in marriage know that you play different roles at different times. And Mitt can get very intense, and I can have the ability to kind of talk him off the rails sometimes and say, ‘Hey let’s look at what is really important and let’s do that now.’
Hey, I’m happy someone is hiring me. It could be all over. I’m so lucky to have a job.
In America, you can’t say to your family, ‘Hey, I’m off to L.A. to make it as a songwriter; sorry I can’t pay for the dentist.’
When I wasn’t in the band, Korn management hit me up every year or two asking me to rejoin. I would do book signings, and they would send someone to say, ‘Hey, it would be cool to have you back one day.’
Part of the problem in politics is that people only look at the next four to eight years: kick the can down the road and say, ‘Hey, it’s the next person’s problem.’
When people say, ‘Hey, wanna come to our house for dinner?’ I say, ‘Yeah, what should I bring?’ They say, ‘How about the dessert?’ I just don’t skimp on the dessert. I make it the yummy way it should be made, and then I just don’t eat the whole pan.
I don’t like to appoint myself to nothing, knowing I’m no better than anybody else. But it always makes me feel good to know I try to do the best I can, and those who might observe say, ‘Hey, I can take a little something from that person.’
I’ve always been the locker-room jokester, the fun guy, the guy who keeps it loose and easy. But also, on Sundays, the guy in that huddle jumping up and down, telling guys, ‘Hey, get it going. Let’s go.’ Firing everybody up. So I’m part relaxation therapist and part Red Bull.
We don’t get the greatest tools to deal with anger. It’s like, ‘Hey, count to 10.’ When someone really upsets me, how do I respond? I don’t usually start counting to 10 and breathing deeply.
One of my best friends was gay and Mormon, and I saw how conflicted he was. It was the first time my faith didn’t align with my mind and heart and the first time I was being taught something at church that I was like, ‘Hey, this doesn’t seem right.’
If a candidate for president said he believed that space aliens dwell among us, would that affect your willingness to vote for him? Personally, I might not disqualify him out of hand; one out of three Americans believe we have had Visitors and, hey, who knows? But I would certainly want to ask a few questions.
That’s kind of something we – my team and I – text each other a lot. Anytime something great happens, we’re like, ‘Hey, look, the song’s #17. Boom!’
Hey, I used to eat at McDonald’s: I liked the taste of the food, especially the French fries.
I want to be the kind of guy people will look at and say, ‘Hey, he’d be a cool guy to have as a friend.’
We were driving by the local athletic association in Orange Park, Florida, and there was this sign for T-ball signups. I was maybe 6 or 7, and my dad looked at me and said, ‘Hey, do you wanna give this a try?’
I don’t want to be someone saying ‘Hey, why don’t you use my boy?’ You can ask Mr. McMahon or anybody. Never once. Cody calls his own shots.
Hey, every once in awhile the secondary form works better than the original but it’s certainly a rarity.
I feel blessed to have an opportunity to try out for a second Olympics team and if it doesn’t work out, hey I gave it my all.
I can remember watching other Canadians make their big breakouts and saying, ‘Hey Mom, when is it going to happen for me?’
Pesticides came about after the first world war. Some brainy petrochemical money maker said, ‘Hey, that mustard gas worked great on people, maybe we could dilute it down and spray it on our crops to deal with pests.’
We recognize that there have been acts in the past that are Asian or Korean who tried to go, ‘Hey, I’m a huge star in Korea, I’m a huge star in Asia so you guys need to respect me for being a huge star there.’ But I don’t know. As much as we may be big, we have to be very humble and start from the ground up in the States.
A lot of people don’t like bumper stickers. I don’t mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It’s like a little sign that says ‘Hey, let’s never hang out.’
The thing that got me started on Twitter was just basically pressure from management and the record company saying, ‘Hey, this is what all the other artists are doing. You need to be doing it also.’ I didn’t really have a clue what is was.
Everybody I run into goes, ‘Hey, ‘Best in Show!” Or, ‘Hey, that dog movie!’ which I don’t mind because I’m not too good on titles.
My mom told us never to reveal that we were Shia in school. You would find out that some other kid was Shiite, and you would whisper, ‘Hey,’ or you would see someone at the mosque, and you’d be like, ‘Hey, that kid’s Shiite!’ There was a lot of tension, a lot of violence in Karachi between Shiites and Sunnis.
If I’m a guy reading a newspaper, and I hear this actor who I know gets great seats at basketball games, and he’s complaining about being typecast, I think, ‘Hey man, count your blessings.’
Everyone must turn to Infowars as a standard to be saved. Tell folks, ‘Hey, it’s the most censored thing in the world for a reason. Jones is dialed in. Jones knows what’s going on.’
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, ‘Hey, guys, let’s be women, put the two together – it’s not either/or. Let’s celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.’
I like eating the right way, doing things the right way. I never had to have my dad come and say, ‘Hey, you have to get back to the gym’ or, ‘Hey, you’re eating wrong.’
In the NFL, there’s never really that moment where you’re like, Hey, I made the team. Or: Hey, you made the practice squad. You just kind of show up the next day and go to work. Nobody really says anything. You just kind of go to work.
Sometimes people are like, ‘Hey, you played Dean Thomas!’ and I’m like, ‘Wow, you actually know!’ It kind of shocks me because when I think about movies I love, and if I saw someone who essentially did what I did in Harry Potter, I probably wouldn’t recognize them walking down the street.
I did not move to New York with a plan. The first time I moved to New York, I just popped up. My sister was living here in New York. I just popped up. She had her baby and a husband, and I just popped up. ‘Hey, what’s up? I got $200 and dreams. Let’s do this.’
Most women I know have been harassed in some way. And you never wanted to report it, because you were afraid of losing your job or you felt like, hey, did that just happen? I think it’s good that women now… have the courage! Because it’s not easy.
I have such a big family, sometimes, I was wondering, when is it going to be my turn? There’s always a brother who’s older, younger, bigger, stronger, faster, I was like, ‘hey, give me a chance guys.’
My whole goal in life was to reach that certain success where people will say, ‘Hey, that guy can do anything. He’s the Evel Knievel of music. He’s jumping over 15 buses!’
I know patients who bring a dozen roses to the doctor’s office. And, boy, the next visit, nobody forgets that. You come in and hey – ‘Here’s the lady who brought the roses’ vs. ‘Here’s the lung cancer.’
Hey bands, you’re all welcome to fly me to some exotic location and I’ll record you there, Y’know that right? You don’t have to come to this God forsaken place. Hope I can visit you all in Australia one of these days that would be hot! We’ll talk again soon.
There’s times where I go off the rails like anybody else. For the most part, I try to keep it, ‘Hey, this is what we’re dealt and this is the situation, so let’s make the best of it.’ Keep a positive attitude.
Writing is like shouting into the world. So when someone shouts back, it’s a really big deal. To have people who read hundreds and hundreds of books a year say, ‘Hey, we thought this was really great,’ that’s a huge self-esteem boost.
I look like that in the morning: my hair’s all greasy – it’s not, ‘Hey, look at the babe of the band!’ I hate that kind of thing, the way women are always pushed forward as beauties… it’s very easy: you can make the ugliest pig look lovely in a photograph.
If all you’re doing is grinding for the man, it’s going to burden you. Once you say, ‘Hey, I’m grinding for the man, but I’m putting money away, and this is part of my exit strategy,’ you’re working for you.
I knew I had to write a good screenplay to be taken seriously, and I knew I needed to present Mississippi on visuals instead of just saying, ‘Hey I wanted to film it in Mississippi.’ It would seem like it was a hometown boy just wanting to be home.
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there.
When I was growing up, my white friends would call me: ‘Hey, Chief!’ Even when I go to work now, people call me ‘Chief.’
I would love for Radiohead to give me a call and say, ‘Hey, kid, we wanna see what it’s like working with you. We want you to produce our next record.’
When you’re tired, you say, ‘Hey, I need to rest from tennis or something.’
A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It’s a short letter – all she said was, ‘Hey, since it’s harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.’ I was like, ‘Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!’
To the fans, it does not matter a damn how you are. You are seen as the footballer, the idol, so no one thinks to stop and ask you, ‘Hey, how are you?’
When you’re nearing 35, going, ‘Hey Dad, I can’t make these payments,’ just isn’t cool.
They just brought it up to me and said, ‘Hey, this is what we’re going to do.’ They’re going to put out a section and call it Judge’s Chambers and give them little judge outfits, and we’ll see what happens. I think it turned out great.
There’s been some people I’ve overheard talking about ‘Mindhunter.’ I’ll lean in and say, ‘Hey, I haven’t seen it yet. Is it any good?’ And they’ll say, ‘Yeah, you should go check it out.’
Hey, I’m not rich, but I’m lucky. I get to do what I want to do. That’s not an easy thing to do in this country.
Like, it’s fun for me to sing ‘I Think We’re Alone Now.’ But when ‘Could’ve Been’ comes out as a single, that’s a ballad and really shows my voice; then people will say, ‘Hey, this girl really can sing.’
I love a good burger, and when I was brainstorming pies, I thought, hey – burgers and pies are both perfect for eating out of your hands.
I would never be like, ‘Hey, I’m fat!’ or, like, be psyched if somebody calls me fat in a review.
Hey, everybody is entitled to think what they want to think.
I accidentally met Don Callis in Japan. I was at New Japan and I was with mutual friends, and I met Don on accident and started telling him some of my ideas. We started talking and he basically at dinner was saying, ‘Hey, we should give you a job.’
