People come up to me in bars and on street corners and they say to me, ‘Hey, Paulsen, have you got any change?’
I thought that God and rap would never work. I thought that God wasn’t okay with rap. People knew I used to rap, and I went to the Bible studies. Someone said, ‘Hey, you should rap about Jesus.’
I’ve been shocked for a long time in a lot of circumstances. I get shocked when they say, ‘Hey, we’re paying ya.’
I certainly wouldn’t mind if ‘Jurassic Park’ turns out to be commercially successful, and somebody says, ‘Hey, you were in a box-office hit, and if you want to do another movie, we’ll give you five million dollars to make it.’
If you bet on Microsoft, you are not going to ask anymore, ‘Hey, where is the innovation?’ The challenge going forward is how do we keep up with it.
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!’
My first real showbiz job was on a Nickelodeon show called ‘Hey, Dude.’ That was my first real paid scriptwriting job.
Wherever I go, people still shout out: ‘Hey, hey, we’re The Monkees.’ And I never tire of that.
My dad was always taking photos of us at home, and even on set – he’d bring us along and stick us in the photos in the background. It was almost the beginning of acting for me, like, ‘Hey, you go over there and play basketball in the background, and don’t even think about the camera.’
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.’
My nickname is 100 percent fan-based. It’s not like one day I said, ‘Hey, I want to be named Country Breakfast.’
No matter how bad your day is, when you start talking about cookies or cakes or pies, or you bring someone cookies, there’s just not bad news. The worst news is, ‘Hey, there’s sugar in that.’
Why have I been chosen to deliver the message of female intelligence and its divinity to a deaf world of males? I have asked my god that question and She answered, ‘Hey, why not you Roseanne?’ Indeed, why not each of us?
I can’t tell what’s going on with my feet. They don’t say, ‘Hey, I’m losing balance.’ They give me almost zero feedback.
People come up to me in bars and on street corners and they say to me, ‘Hey, Paulsen, have you got any change?’
With TensorFlow, when we started to develop it, we kind of looked at ourselves and said: ‘Hey, maybe we should open source this.’
But hey, man, if I summited K2 in winter, without oxygen, frost-nipped fingers are a small price to pay. It was worth it. Think about it, things could have been a lot worse.
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.’
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.’
The ‘Hey Monday’ songs were always glammed up to be this big production, and I definitely want there to be some bells and whistles like synth or drum loops, but for the most part, I want a simple yet powerful production.
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’ve always wondered what it would be like if somebody from outer space landed with three heads. Then all of a sudden everybody else wouldn’t look so bad, huh? Well, OK you’re a little different from me but, hey, ya got one head.
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.’
