Dungy, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has long believed that he, his staff and players should be as devoted to family time as they are to playing time, as focused on giving to charities...

I’d be honored to be playing a Republican, although I’m not.

There is nothing better than playing a scene with John Cleese or Maggie Smith. It’s electric. But I don’t think I’m the sort of person who needs to have an outer ego in order to...

I live for playing live. All my records are live, since After the Gold Rush, with the exception of Trans and the vocals on Landing on Water.

It’s like first grade where you make all your mistakes and people see it and yet some people see that there’s something there that’s really valuable. That’s the way it went for more than 2...

I definitely wouldn’t shy away from doing another action based project, but I feel like my forte is more like playing real, ordinary people. I’m a girl’s girl.

Life is a game, you live so you play. Follow your dreams and win what your happy heart desires.

The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients, and somebody’s going to make it better than somebody else, and that’s the creativity of it. It’s...

After months of playing air guitar to ‘Free Bird’, what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about Jimi Hendrix and picking up the Woodstock soundtrack. Listening to his version of ‘Star Spangled...

I don’t know where the idea originated that memoir writing is cathartic. For me, it’s always felt like playing my own neurosurgeon, sans anesthesia. As a memoirist, you have to crack your head open and...

The difference between playing the stock market and the horses is that one of the horses must win.

I’m ambidextrous when I eat. But playing tennis right-handed – I can’t do it. I’m clueless.

Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn’t know that at first.

Maybe the one I enjoyed playing most was A Month in the Country.
