I was certainly never conscious of ‘playing the woman.’ I would not have approved of that. It is not a winning tactic. I operated in the world as I found it, and it was a...

If studies come out and show that playing football is detrimental to your health for the long term, even for the short term, I think that’s up to the players then to make the decision...

Onstage, even though you’re here together with the other actor, face-to-face, playing out the scene, you also have that other ear pointed out toward the audience and how they’re listening. That informs a lot.

I’m very influenced by jazz drummers. I always liked drummers like Roger Taylor, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, John Densmore. I just learned from playing to those drummers.

Baseball players practice, runners practice, so how can you practice being funny? You get up onstage. You train as an improviser, playing make-believe, using the vernacular of improvisation, saying ‘yes and’ to other people’s ideas,...

One of my favorite comedy performances of all time is Charles Grodin in ‘Midnight Run,’ and in a lot of things he’s done. I think he’s hilarious as the straight man, playing it real.

I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It’s fragile. I don’t have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.

I suppose when I started playing guitar, it was the means to an end. I never thought of myself as a fully fledged guitar instrumentalist. And my early excursions on the electric guitar were curtailed...

If you don’t like the way the Atlanta Braves are playing then you don’t like baseball.

Essentially, I’m untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I’m going to be playing.

People who have witnessed all the years of me playing, they bring their kids and say, ‘I used to see this guy when I was fourteen!’

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone’s got their own character, and that’s the thing that’s amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone’s approach to what can...

In ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ I was just playing and having a good time.

I don’t spend a lot of time watching my performances after the fact. I suck at playing video games, but I’m a fan of the creativity, the brilliance, and the possibility of the industry.

I am grateful for hands to tickle with. Not so grateful for that process in reverse, however.

Well, the important message that we’ve always carried to China is that we look forward to your progress and prosperity, we look forward to you playing a role in the progress and prosperity of this...

I guess when I was a kid I wasn’t the type of person playing a lot of pranks. I was the type of person upon whom pranks were pulled.

I don’t know what my future holds. I’m gonna love playing football for as long as I can, but there’s a lot of other things that I would love to accomplish.

When you are doing things for the right reasons, you do not need to play by the rules, because there are no rules for a creator walking the path of love.

I’m playing one of the principal roles, which gives you more clout and more confidence.

What I like to do when I get to a new place is buy local music early on and listen to it while we’re driving around. I think it helps explain and illuminate the culture...

I still think most writers are just kids who refuse to grow up. We’re still playing imaginary games, with our imaginary friends.

I started doing all kinds of weird stuff on the guitar, which became part of my playing. I started doing harmonics and tapping on the guitar and pulling off strings and doing all this weird...

This is what I love to do. And if pressure is something that comes with playing good golf, that’s something a professional golfer has to handle.

I love working on films and I’d love to do some interesting work, but if somebody asked me, ‘Would you like ‘Human Target’ to continue to be picked up?’ The answer is ‘Absolutely!’ I love...

I certainly want to get back to the U.S. to play. It’s such a big country. I’ve always liked playing there, and enjoyed living there. I lived in New York, LA, and Florida.

I think I was always a drama queen. I really, really, really loved playing pretend.

I think I’ve always been drawn to the second person. When I was growing up and playing with my friends, the usual way we interacted with imaginary worlds was as characters: a bench was ‘your’...

A DJ can’t just play one song. It’s about playing a set, or how you connect songs in those two hours, and where you place them.

Women are usually only interesting to studio executives when they are fecund, between the ages of 15 and 30. I decided to get through the really tough patch, around 50, by just cutting my price...

I realize that although I’d like to make films as a career after I’m done playing, I really love basketball; I really love my career, an opportunity to compete every day and to push myself...

The thing you do is escape from them by immersing myself in the character you’re playing.

I’m not playing a role. I’m being myself, whatever the hell that is.

To do a musical takes a tremendous amount of energy because you have to act and sing at the same time. And everything has to be precise. Because you can’t forget the lyrics because the...

I went from an unemployed actor’s life to doing stand-up comedy, and that was fortuitous. It’s not the usual way the crow flies, going from being in a TV sketch show to playing one of...

I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has.

For me, playing is about playing with other people.

Like any other boy in the world that does a little bit of rough-and-tumble and playing around when they’re a kid, who doesn’t want to be an action star at some point?

Everybody gets all worked up about trash talk but it is what it is – it’s talk… You ask any player, honestly, if trash talk’s gonna affect how hard they play, because if a little...

Much of my playing is rhythmic and choppy; I use a lot of double stops. The wah just accents all those stops and chops and brings out the rhythmic aspect that much more.

I never mixed with golfers when I was playing, mainly because I didn’t want to talk golf all night.

We always have a good time playing, and I’m glad it shows.

I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.

I had the question asked of me before, ‘What do you like better: singing or playing guitar?’ If I’m gonna be totally truthful, if that microphone’s in my hand, I’m loving it. When the guitar’s...

We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.

It is really hard to make it convincing enough that you forget you are playing a video game.

You could go to Estonia and there’s probably an episode of ‘Seinfeld’ playing there. Television is a very powerful thing.

What I try to get beyond is playing music at people and, instead, to play music with people because audience members are constantly part of the experience. What they say in their body language, what...

Playing evil is just not interesting. I don’t think anyone who does evil stuff thinks they’re doing evil stuff. That’s the scary part.

I’ve been playing rock and roll since I was 16 years old, and now I have a 16-year-old.
