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...

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

As a songwriter, you tend to develop your own style, your own technique, based around what it is you’re trying to write and perform, in terms of your own music. So a way of evolving...

All I can say is, hey, if you have fun doing what you do, if you have fun playing soccer, the creativity is just going to come as time goes on.

When my guitar was growling, playing surf beat, you could hear it; you could feel it.

When migraines briefly became a campaign issue for me, it appeared that political foes were maybe playing the gender card.

I put myself through college playing pool.

Shaq got into a scrap with one of my teammates, … and I got tired of everybody separating them, so I went over and said, ‘Why don’t you guys stop [messing around] and just fight?’...

Maybe it’s because One Direction was just on ‘SNL,’ or because I’m playing The Wanted on my Top 40 show, but in terms of boy bands, we’re seeing this resurgence, and it’s happening, whether you...
