Text Quotes
For me, there was nothing like my time with the Eagles - ever. We were young, and the world was new to us. It was the happiest time of our lives. They wouldn’t let us play in their big leagues, but we had this game of ours... this marvelous, blessed game... and we just went out and played it. (Played Quotes)
The best mistake I ever made was believing that I was stupid. It was a childhood thing, but it played out big-time as an adult. It scorned me the rest of my life - in a good way. (Played Quotes)
A big moment for me was when I did a play that was a new adaptation of Dostojevskij’s ‘Crime and Punishment,’ and I played Raskolnikov. It was actually the first thing I did when I got out of acting school. (Played Quotes)
Ah, the pleasure, the joy - a big news story that runs and runs, that is played down by some of our journalistic colleagues, saying ‘it’ll never happen’, only to be confirmed by the Home Secretary. (Played Quotes)
There’s a certain cruelty to being on a big screen as your eyelids start to sag and your hair falls out and turns gray that you either have to be able to handle or not. What you can’t do is try to force yourself into roles that you could have played or would have played ten years earlier. (Played Quotes)
Pam has always been my glamorous big sister - 13 years older than I. She played on the women’s circuit for nine years and came home to tell me stories of France, Japan. (Played Quotes)
Standing as a witness in all things means all things - big things, little things, in all conversations, in jokes, in games played and books read and music listened to, in causes supported, in service rendered, in clothes worn, in friends made. (Played Quotes)
The biggest thing is no matter what level I’ve played at, there is something I can bring to them. (Played Quotes)
A lot of people influenced me as I was learning but probably Bing Crosby was the most influential, because I would hear his Christmas albums, which my parents played a lot. (Played Quotes)
Every year before a big competition, I get hurt doing stuff I should not be doing. One year it was my little brother’s 12th birthday. We all played hide-and-seek late at night. I climbed up a 30-foot tree, thinking he’d never catch me. I tripped and fell on one of the branches and I hit my head. (Played Quotes)
When you look at me you don’t immediately imagine a very very glamorous icon, so it’s only in the theater that I get to do these experiments. I’ve been an actor about 51 years now. I’ve played everything from an 8-year-old black boy to a 72-year-old French matriarch, and they hardly hire you to do that on TV. (Played Quotes)
Throughout history there have been black people who have played mammies, all sorts of offensive images, who didn’t mind doing it. (Played Quotes)
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the ‘Pink Panther’ theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock. (Played Quotes)
Since the beginning of my recording career in 1975, I have had a little difficulty because the pop stations think I’m a jazzer who doesn’t have a feeling for pop, so it’s hard to get my records played. Similarly, black urban radio doesn’t understand that with my R (Played Quotes)
I don’t want a lot of guys like me who played the game. Quite frankly, I want blank canvases; I want people to come in with new ideas. I don’t want the biases of their own experiences to be a part of their decision-making process. (Played Quotes)
A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you’re planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better. (Played Quotes)
A while ago, I did a television adaptation of ‘Bleak House,’ and the character I played, as far as I was concerned, had no redeeming features whatsoever. I wasn’t about to try to find any; I didn’t need to. (Played Quotes)
I played pretty darn competitive-level hockey. Then the good old knee injury. Obviously, it’s a blessing in disguise, but growing up Canadian, that’s our religion, that’s our football. (Played Quotes)
Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, I have always played someone like 10 years younger. When I was 23 or 24, I was playing 15 opposite Evan Rachel Wood in a movie called ‘Pretty Persuasion.’ She was 16 and nobody in a million years would have thought I was that much older than her. (Played Quotes)
Man, if they played the commercials for ‘Murderball’ as much as they do for ‘Hustle and Flow,’ ‘Murderball’ would blow up! (Played Quotes)
When I first played the guitar without plugging it into an amplifier, the people at Fender were blown away. They couldn’t believe the sound. I said, ‘See, gentlemen, the world is no longer flat.’ (Played Quotes)
We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in ‘The Blues Brothers’ with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can’t believe we’re going to play for people in New York City. I’m terrified, but it’s a small enough room. But it’s really just supposed to be for the fun of it. (Played Quotes)
If T-Bone Walker had been a woman, I would have asked him to marry me. I’d never heard anything like that before: single-string blues played on an electric guitar. (Played Quotes)
One performer whose band played my music better than I could myself was Art Farmer. He recorded ‘Sing Me Softly of the Blues’ and ‘Ad Infinitum’. (Played Quotes)
I started to like blues, I guess, when I was about 6 or 7 years old. There was something about it, because nobody else played that kind of music. (Played Quotes)
I played football; I was a running back, and I took a hit, and I had a hairline fracture in my leg which no one spotted, and I was playing basketball all winter and it got worse. And then I was long jumping, about 20 feet, and I landed one time and there was this big crack, and all the bones were jutting out of my leg. (Played Quotes)
I read every book there was on jazz, about the original players - King Oliver, Buddy Bolden and all those groups. At one time I was fairly well schooled in that... I could tell you who played where and when, historically, way before my time. (Played Quotes)
An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God that’d be a boring career. (Played Quotes)
I’ve created, directed and choreographed for Lady Gaga since the beginning, so ‘Born This Way,’ this was musically such an amazing evolution and such a brilliant record. So when she played it for me, it took me a while to find out the visual interpretation that I could give back to her. (Played Quotes)
Mary-Kate and Ashley, who played Michelle, were great. I miss them, I love them, and I need to borrow some money from them. (Played Quotes)
