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!’
