I played at Sony, Warner Bros., Universal, Big Machine, Capitol… after I played every one of those places, everyone offered me a record deal. I was just like, ‘Who am I? Why do I even deserve this?’ There are people busting their butts on Broadway doing this hardcore, playing three hours a night for tips, and I didn’t even ask for it. Thomas Rhett

There are a lot of hardcore ‘Napoleon’ fans, and they do the research and find photos of what I look like when I’m not ‘Kip-ified.’ Those fans recognize me.

When I’m telling stories of my video game days, when I was a really hardcore MMO player, I played ‘EverQuest’ for two years and played ‘World of Warcraft’ and several other games for the last ten years or so… 95% of the stories I’ll tell you are ‘EverQuest.’ R. A. Salvatore
When I was growing up, it was a lot of punk and hardcore music going on in legion halls and firehouses, and we’d play those shows, and it was very Jersey. It was very suburban, and there’s just a great pride there. Jack Antonoff
I’m a hardcore libertarian – I want everything legal – but I also believe that you have the right to free association. Penn Jillette

When I was fifteen, I used to run around reading ‘Adbusters’ and dumpster diving, trying to find ways to make the U.S. government unwind into chaos through hardcore punk and metal. Diplo
Everything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression – from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it. Henry Rollins
We need prisons because there are some hardcore criminals, but I never met a guy who has been in jail that came out with a smile on his face thinking, ‘Right, that’s it – now I am going to be good!’ Tahar Rahim

Growing up I did commercials and things like that, but nothing serious. As I got older, my family is really hardcore into academics. They weren’t wanting to necessarily support an acting career; it’s a really fickle business, and it can be difficult and unstable. They were rooting for education and the whole nine yards. Portia Doubleday
When I was a kid, I was into hardcore music. The scene in New York was tiny. Every person hanging out was in a band and played at the A7 Club. There was not much rehearsing or anything. Just doing. Dito Montiel
We grew up listening to so much hardcore: everything from the very early D.C. stuff – Teen Idols, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, SOA, Government Issue – to bands who weren’t straight edge, like Negative Approach. I really feel they were one of the greatest punk bands ever. Davey Havok
I really like to think of each record as its own thing. So, for sure, but I hate the idea of being stuck in anything.

I would just not want to keep heading too far in one direction, without pulling off and going the other way. Ty Segall
Both ‘iCarly’ and ‘Victorious’ fans are so hardcore and intense. Jennette McCurdy
I would say I’m a casual gamer. I’m not hardcore. Bruce Feirstein

I’m that girl that’s a hardcore musician and loves to sing and write and play instruments but, at the same time, loves video games, metal music, and just being a goofy person. Christina Grimmie

When you do an animated series and add characters who are not from the canon, you really have to win over the hardcore fans. Paul Dini

Take the hardcore gamers. The characters are way more real in the world of hardcore gamers who have played the game for hundreds of hours. They have the movie in their heads, they’ve built it on their own. These guys are always very disappointed in the movies. Uwe Boll
I was such a weird kid. The really hardcore stuff like Venom – I was totally aware of them, and I listened to some of it – but they actually frightened me. Brian Posehn
I was a fan of One Direction when I was 16, but I was also a fan of Bring Me The Horizon and hardcore bands. Halsey
There’s not a formula that I’m following; it’s just how I feel at the time. For instance, I did a very experimental film called ‘Hardcore Henry,’ and that was simply because I thought the filmmaker was very interesting and a risk taker. A film like that had never been made before, so I chose to do that at the time. Haley Bennett
The hardcore fanbase of nerds that live on the Internet are not nearly as powerful as I thought they were. They really, really aren’t. They also flip-flop like mad. Evan Goldberg

Yeah, the majority of Brit+Co users are women, but DIY? You see kids DIY, adult men geeking out hardcore with anything related to woodworking and all these cool new technologies, metalwork, leatherworking, concrete making. Everyone has a passion. I truly believe it’s in our DNA literally to build things. Brit Morin
I love to visit the comic shops, and I don’t want to call myself a ‘foodie,’ because that word is just stupid, but I love diner food, and I’m a hardcore fan of ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.’ Brian Posehn
On our first album, ‘Sounding the Seventh Trumpet,’ we were listening to more obscure heavy metal bands and hardcore bands. Zacky Vengeance

I’m among the hardcore fans of ‘Blade Runner.’ ‘Blade Runner’ is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s a movie that is linked with my love and passion for cinema. Denis Villeneuve

I’m a passionate, hardcore fisherman. Biggest fish I caught? A 200-pound tarpon. Dwayne Johnson

I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base. Luke Bryan

I don’t necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don’t know if it’s for me. I haven’t come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I’m not sure it would be that way for me. Jon Hamm
A lot of people heard ‘Murda Business’ and thought it was about killing people, trying to be tough and hardcore. If you actually listen to the lyrics, it’s kind of silly and playful. Iggy Azalea

For ‘Boxers & Saints,’ I started by reading a couple of articles on the Internet, then writing a really rough outline, then getting more hardcore into the research. I went to a university library once a week for a year, year and a half. Gene Luen Yang
‘Twin Peaks’ fans, it’s a hardcore group of people. Dana Ashbrook
I’m the first to admit that we were totally dependent on a particular place and time… for us, seeing Minor Threat at the CBGB hardcore matinee was just as necessary a force in our lives as the Treacherous Three at Club Negril or the Funky Four + One More at the Rock Lounge. Mike D
Hardcore wrestling like CZW is just nonsense. There’s no story there. You’ve got guys jumping off of houses onto barb wired tables, and that’s it. They don’t know how to work. CZW is trash. Triple H
I think the hardcore fans can expect exactly what both ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Catching Fire’ delivered: ‘Mockingjay’ is going to be as faithful a rendition of Suzanne’s Collins’s world and books and characters as we can put out! Elizabeth Banks

I felt like when I got with Kanye, and we discussed me being on G.O.O.D. Music, he just really took me to a place in regards to music that I love and music that I had made previously.

I was a jock, hardcore sports all the way down the line, but I heard that if you auditioned for this arts school, you got time off school, and that sounded good to me. Jake Epstein

I loved Fugazi, the D.C. hardcore band, because they always did everything themselves. They had their own label, and the CDs always cost nine dollars, the T-shirts always cost eight dollars, the shows always cost five dollars, no major label. Spike Jonze
Even within the context of the alternative scene I was a part of, within punk and hardcore and the alt scene, there was a focus on self-destruction. Davey Havok

Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy. Yelawolf
One reason I’m such a wayward prognosticator of rightwing trends is that I’m incapable of blacking out enough neural sectors to see the world through reptilian-brained eyes, a prerequisite for any true channeling of the mean resentments and implanted fears that drive hardcore conservatives. James Wolcott
Students at Kim Il Sung University are reserve hardcore talents who will become leading officials of the revolution responsible for the important sectors and posts in the building of a powerful socialist country, the backbone in the struggle for the victory of the Juche revolution. Kim Jong-un
We’ve always been hardcore rebels. Rickey Medlocke

I just think, as women, we have to give ourselves room to be individuals. So when a woman makes a decision for herself, we as women shouldn’t set those hardcore boundaries for another woman. Just like we don’t want men setting hardcore boundaries for us. Jada Pinkett Smith
I think I tried on the hardcore scene’s outfits maybe once, and then I just figured I’d stick to Hawaiian shirts. Dave Sitek

We definitely have a hardcore following. Phil Anselmo

I’ve had the luxury of owning my own studio, 24 analogue, 48 digital, endless effects, endless hardcore gear, that I don’t have to rent, I don’t get stuck with the bills, it’s all mine. Billy Sherwood
