I wouldn't say I really admired anyone. When I was a kid, there were definitely a lot of tough guys, but they weren't really cool. If anything, that was an influence on me: to take that toughness and combine it with the cool style, the cool entrance, the cool gear - and driving to work in a Ferrari.

Kazuchika Okada

I'm a very tough guy, and I fight hard, and I don't give up. And that makes me friends and that makes me enemies, and I know that.

Alan Dershowitz

Very Up Tough Guy

My father was a dreamer - my hero. He was a smart, tough guy from Poland, a cutter of lady's handbags, an old socialist-unionist who always considered himself a failure. His big line was: 'Don't end up like me.'

Alan King

Failure Art Who

I may seem a tough guy, but I'm also very sentimental.

Alvin Leung

Not only is it OK for a woman to write about a tough guy, but it might even help sell him.

Ann Maxwell

Write Woman Tough Guy

I don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.

Anson Mount

Tough Guy Tough Tension

I'm a pretty tough guy, you know. I'm a pretty hard man. I've got a lot of compassion, but I don't waste time with people.

Anthony Hopkins

Dennis Siver, he's a tough guy.

B. J. Penn

Tough Guy Tough T

Our dad was an iron worker, a really tough guy. He raised us to be strong and stand up for ourselves. Whatever we want, we go and get it. Sometimes, you have to take it.

Baron Corbin

My dad was a big grinder, a tough guy. I inherited that from him.

Brad Marchand

There were a lot of tough guys who were tremendous wrestlers.

Bruno Sammartino

Business is tough; you need tough guys.

Carlos Ghosn

Business You Us

Wrestlers tend to do good in MMA because they tend to be just some tough guys. It's not a karate situation where they grew up their whole life punching the air; in a wrestling situation, you grab a hold of another human being every day.

Chael Sonnen

Life Good You

But I'm not a tough guy or a street fighter for real. I'm just an actor.

Channing Tatum

Us Tree Tough Guy

I just tried to go out there and play with attitude, doing what I was supposed to do and knowing my role on the team. Doing what my team expected me to do every night, not just once a week. It was all about work and I was just a tough guy who would knock somebody down.

Charles Oakley

Work Attitude Would

Will Brooks is a very tough guy. He's an ex-champ and beat very tough guys. The same way I fought very tough guys.

Charles Oliveira

Will Way Very

I ended up moving up to lightweight, which I didn't want, and fought a really tough guy, Will Brooks, and beat him like nothing.

Charles Oliveira

Will Which Weight

When I first started, it was a dare. Someone basically said, 'You're a tough guy... but I'll bet you won't get on a microphone in front of a bunch of people.' I was terrified, but I did it. Once I broke the ice and got onstage and got some laughs, I thought, 'That's not so bad.'

Charlie Murphy

Anderson Silva is a tough guy, man. He's dangerous. He's got heavy hands, and he's not afraid to throw them. He's a dangerous opponent for anyone.

Chuck Liddell

Anger Us Tough Guy

Hollywood wants guys who can act tough - Hollywood don't want tough guys.

Danny Trejo

I'm not a tough guy, but I'll throw down just like the rest of them if I have to.

DJ Premier

I'm not always 'Dominick Cruz, Tough Guy.' Depression runs in my bloodline.

Dominick Cruz

A tough guy, to me, stands for something, and he's not afraid to get a beating.

Frank Grillo

What I look for in a role is the physical. But what's the journey emotionally? Can I take this person who is this archetypal tough guy and find the beauty?

Frank Grillo

I've never been a bad guy - never acted like a tough guy.

Gennady Golovkin

Movies portray men as tough guys.

Geoffrey Canada

Rebrasse was a good opponent, a tough guy, he took an awful lot of punches. I knew it was going to be tough. I didn't want to run out of steam, I felt in great condition but you always have to be cautious against a guy who has never been stopped.

George Groves

This idea that you're a successful tough guy if you evade taxes and deceive the state has got to change.

George Papandreou

My father was a Marine who fought in the Pacific in WW II. He was a very tough guy, but after the war, he lived his life in a quiet and reserved manner because he had nothing to prove. I know now that he internalized his war experience.

George Pelecanos

Salah is a tough guy. Always calm and strong, with the mentality of a hard worker. I'll never forget his training sessions: very high rhythm, pushed like a madman, you watched him in amazement.

Gervinho

Hydration is everything. Think of this: your muscles are 70-plus percent water - how are you not drinking water during a workout? I get the whole, 'Let's challenge ourselves; let's do that prison, tough guy thing,' but at the end of the day, you're underperforming.

Gunnar Peterson

A fighter walks in the room and people are like 'oooo' because everyone is trying to be a tough guy.

Israel Adesanya

After doing two years in prison, trust me, I've seen a lot of tough guys pray. They're not just praying for themselves; they're praying for their family and the people they've let down.

Ja Rule

One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?

James Caan

Tough guy Spike was always the funnest, but I'm most proud of the more recent stuff, the last season, I think.

James Marsters

We couldn't generalize on the people. Some of them were known to be tough guys and they didn't say much, but some of them were kind of soft-headed, but they did that. That was an East German film.

James Stockdale

Look, I play all these tough guys and thugs and strong, complex characters. In real life, I am a cringing, neurotic Jewish mess. Can't I for once play that on stage?

Jason Isaacs

Most guys, tough or not, hide emotions. I know a lot of tough guys; they're just as weak as the next man, but they don't show it.

Jason Statham

One of the toughest guys in the world is Randy Couture - he is the true epitome of what a tough guy is.

Jason Statham

The hockey I was raised on, the hockey I understand, the hockey that my dad taught me about when I was a boy was intrinsically connected with fighting. I grew up in a house where we revered tough guys.

Jay Baruchel

I usually play tough guys and stuff like that.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan

I am a pretty tough guy. I'm an old hockey player.

Jim Flaherty

It's weird: I don't see myself as a tough guy.

Joel Edgerton

My father was this big, tough guy, almost heroic in proportion to me as a child. It was only later that I saw how fearful he was.

John Burnside

You see a lot of guys who are told they will be the number one contender if they win the fight in front of them. They have fought a couple of really tough guys to get there, but when the chance is presented to them, something happens in some shape or form, and they aren't able to take it. They end up losing. That was the biggest fear for me.

Johny Hendricks

I was introduced to fighting by my brother - he's a tattooer, a tough guy - and I completely fell in love with it. I was watching fights on YouTube all the time. I would go to parties to watch UFC fights.

Katie Kitamura

I wouldn't say I really admired anyone. When I was a kid, there were definitely a lot of tough guys, but they weren't really cool. If anything, that was an influence on me: to take that toughness and combine it with the cool style, the cool entrance, the cool gear - and driving to work in a Ferrari.

Kazuchika Okada

My dad had a 'fro, and I didn't. So I wore his hat and it always hit me in the face, so I just turned it around and it just stuck. It wasn't like I was trying to be a tough guy or change the way that baseball is played. It was just that my dad wore a size 7 1/2, and I had a 6 1/4. It was just too big.

Ken Griffey Jr.

I'm a big boy, and I'm a tough guy.

Ken Harrelson

I don't like to risk - I'm actually not a tough guy at all, make no mistake about it, so I'm not going to do something that I'm scared of. So, if something looks dangerous, at the time I didn't think it was, because I'm the first person to cower away from a risk of injury if there seems to be one.

Kenny Omega

I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.
