I’m not sure it’s a better music world of appreciation and performance. I think the listener is a different guy, and listening is something he does in passing, with other stuff going on. There’s less care and understanding of the relationship between the song and the listener.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
I’m still a huge Yankees fan. Growing up, Jeter was my guy, but Bernie Williams was my favorite player.
Not that I want to put the entire rap music style down – I just don’t like it. And I know somewhere there’s gotta be another guy like that. There’s gotta be a guy just like that – just like me. There’s gotta be somebody, somewhere… Maybe, maybe an assassin type.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.
Donald has a deep and unbounding determination and a never-give-up attitude. I have seen him fight for years to get a project done – or even started – and he does not give up! If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the ‘guy.’
I’m tough when I have to be, tender when I should be. When you find a really tough guy, he’s not a predator. He doesn’t have to prove himself. Guys who have to pretend to be tough, they ain’t. I’m tough.
You know, I’m kind of a wild crazy workaholic guy.
I was trying to prove people wrong who said I wasn’t a good guy, and I was trying to be the person that other people thought I was – people who loved our band thought I was a god.
When you snatch little pieces of other people’s lives and try to palm them off as your own, that’s more disgusting than anything. Robin Williams is a huge thief. Denis Leary is a huge thief. His whole stand-up career is based on Bill Hicks, a brilliant guy who died years ago.
Even though wrestling is getting more popular – wrestling being more popular than it was five years ago is like being the nicest guy in prison, it’s not a huge compliment, but it’s still taking place.
That first year I was in Ring of Honor, maybe it wasn’t even a year, I was wearing the trucker hat thing and wearing John Deere stuff because I felt like part of what made me different from a lot of guys was that I was kind of a good ol’ boy and a southern type of guy.
If you’re the handsome white guy, you tend to get cast as guys who are meant to be convincing in their jobs. What I’ve been fortunate enough to do, whether it’s playing a certified idiot on ’30 Rock’ or a weirdo in ‘Bridesmaids,’ is play against that in a lot of ways.
I got spoiled on ‘Breaking Bad.’ Playing the same guy for four or five seasons, you get to really explore who the character is.
Although I love this kind of comedy, sometimes I feel trapped by always having to be the most outrageous guy in the room. In particular, I’m working on trying not to be that guy in my private life.
I’m a happy guy. I like to joke around. I’m irreverent. I love my family; I love my son. I was very happy with and proud of the birth of my son. I grew up a lot after he was born. I’m just an easy and happy guy.
The jiu-jitsu my father created was for the smaller guy to beat the bigger guy.
My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.
I always say, to this day, that the Air Jordan guy was great and God bless him. But I’ll always just remember Michael, the guy.
When you’re a chill, laid back guy, you maybe have more pent-up frustration, anger, bitterness, than maybe somebody a little wilder would have.
I’m a very humble guy, but of course I think I’m dope.
Jesus is a half-naked guy, hanging, nailed to a cross, and then people wear that around their neck, and then those are the people that are upset about violence in movies.
I couldn’t care less if the guy I’m guarding has HIV. I’m going to slam him anyway.
Seve Ballesteros was the best trouble-shot player who ever lived. It didn’t matter how far in the woods you put that guy, he’d find a way to get out. But Seve inadvertently put a lot of big numbers on the scorecards of average players, because he inspired them to take dumb chances.
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
I’m a normal guy.
I have the most loyal fans that have been with me since I was 19 years old, when I was just a young guy becoming a world champion.
I can remember me and my cousin always fighting. He was a big Bulls and Michael Jordan guy.
I try to surround myself with people smarter than me – if I’m the smartest guy in the room, I change rooms.
I’m just a guy. There’s nothing special about me.
Around the courthouse when defense lawyers are chatting about their cases, the only question they ask each other is can you put your guy on the stand? Those conversations always assume the defendant is guilty. The question is just about the degree of difficulty in presenting a defense.
When I do a voiceover now, there are always a few people I’ve borrowed bits off, whether it’s their hats or facial hair, who’ll say: ‘That’s so funny; it’s obviously based on this guy.’ You think, ‘It ain’t: it’s you.’ Actors never think characters are based on them.
I met Will Smith twice. I didn’t talk to him for too long but I was trying to let him know that my age group grew up watching him – he was the coolest guy on television and the coolest guy in movies.
Thom Browne, Michael Bastian… all these people that I love, when I finally get to meet them, I’m like, ‘You’re a cool guy!’
I’m six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!
I would like to be out there every day and be that one steady guy that everybody can lean on.
I’m a funny guy. I want people to laugh. I laugh at myself, I make fun of myself. But at the end of the day everything that I say has a message in it.
My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I’ll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy.
I don’t think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it’s the old white guy party.
I’m a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.
Everybody wants to have their ‘Breaking Bad.’ It went to Bryan Cranston. It couldn’t have happened to a better guy or a better actor.
I’m not a conventional guy. I’ve never been a conventional guy.
I think Freddie Mercury is probably the best of all time in terms of a rock voice. There was a vulnerability to it, his technical ability was amazing, and so much of his personality would come out through his voice. I’m not even a guy to buy Queen records, really, and I still think he’s one of the best.
For the most part I excel as being the bad guy, and that’s definitely a strong point for me.
I have a new show now called ‘The Bridge,’ where I play a guy who’s a real-life guy. My character’s based on the life of a guy named Craig Bromell who was a cop for 12 years and then became head of the police association, so basically the president of the union for 85,000 cops.
My dad lived a good life. He was a simple guy. His family had been poor, and he joined the Marines to be able to send money home to his mom and dad and brothers and sisters. He genuinely had the intention to live a good life and to respect other people.
I think the moral majority and religious right have been shrinking and having not quite as loud a voice in America, and all of a sudden people are coming to their own realizations going, ‘Joe down the street is gay and he’s a great guy.’
It’s not a lie that I’m a stronger guy than Pau. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I’m an old-school type of guy.
I look like the kind of guy who has a bottle of beer in my hand.
I’m not a guy that sits around and does nothing.
My dad was a very quiet person, and unbelievably tough. But my grandmother gave me my first look at negative thinking to bring about positive results. When I was just a little guy, anytime I came to my grandmother and said I wish for this or that, Grandma would say, ‘If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.’
In certain cultures, they’ll eat an eyeball. I’m never gonna be that guy.
One of the first auditions I had in New York was for a commercial where I had to go in and audition to be a snake charmer… It was either some bank commercial or something where they wanted a guy charming a snake… I remember they wanted to know if I actually knew how to snake charm.
My dad was an immigrant kid and a Democrat and a Jew, and we didn’t know any Republicans in our group. So I grew up Democratic. My dad was a labor lawyer – a very hardworking guy, a one-horse labor lawyer – and then I went to hippie college and lived in the bubble.
With me, I come in the ring and start thinking right away. My thought process is just to put a guy down. I’m like a technician and learn to break it all down – from head to toe.
An optimist is a guy that has never had much experience.
I’m a very moody guy and I need good scripts which excite me.
I’d love to hold a koala. They sleep 22 hours a day, eat eucalyptus leaves and just hang out. I want to spend some time with that guy.
Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
