It’s the honesty you apply to your playing that makes music enjoyable. The style of the music has little to do with it. It’s only honesty makes it beautiful Picture Quote #1

You see, pops, that’s the kind of talk that’s ruining the music. Everyone’s trying to do something new, no one trying to learn the fundamentals first. All them young cats playing their wierd chords. And what happens? No one’s working Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1

I’d rather make $700 a week playing a maid than earn $7 a day being a maid Picture Quote #1

Why should I complain about making $7,000 a week playing a maid? If I didn’t, I’d be making $7 a week being one Picture Quote #1

A lot of people ask me where music is going today. I think it’s going in short phrases. If you listen, anybody with an ear can hear that. Music is always changing. It changes because of the times and the technology that’s available, the material that things are made of, like plastic cars instead of steel. So when you hear an accident today it sounds different, not all the metal colliding like it was in the forties and fifties. Musicians pick up sounds and incorporate that into their playing, so the music that they make will be different Picture Quote #1

I’m so proud of the time I put in the pool, so proud of the people I met along way, just to be asked to do this was exciting for me. I love it when I run into people who remember me from playing water polo as opposed to what I do now, which is an actor. It’s rare that anyone remembers me but it’s fun when I run into guys that played water polo who, we can speak in terms of water polo and what it was like and how we played, it’s the great camaraderie. I was so excited to be asked to be part of this because I’m proud of it. I’m more proud of this probably than I am my professional career Picture Quote #1

The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself. Show them that you’re an individual. And I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand Picture Quote #1

Like an actor who transforms into the character that they’re playing, you can transform into yourself Picture Quote #1

Playing a flute is like writing a book. You’re telling what’s in your heart... It’s easier to play if it’s right from your heart. You get the tone, and the fingers will follow Picture Quote #1

You can pick any game and there are two or three plays that determine whether you win or lose, going either way. That’s the beauty of the league, man. Every game counts, no matter who you’re playing or what their record is Picture Quote #1

In life, the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing Picture Quote #1

You can look in every direction and find a competition or an event going on. Even if you’re not involved in playing one of the sports being offered, you can find anything you want to do. There’s shopping, entertainment, all different types of people... it’s really a great atmosphere Picture Quote #1

My kids don’t really like when I sing for some reason... but they like when I play guitar. So I started writing songs just playing guitar for them Picture Quote #1

And I found I didn’t like myself at the end of the day because I didn’t care for the guy I was playing. I learned a little bit about acting in that Picture Quote #1

Unless you give it all you’ve got, there isn’t any sense in playing Picture Quote #1

Passion is kind of an important word for me, whether it’s playing sports or whether it’s just living or whatever you’re going to do. In my opinion you should be passionate about it or else, why do it? Picture Quote #1

To appear unambitious amongst the ambitious is to invite loathing or fear. To be in the game, but not playing with intent to win, is to be the enemy Picture Quote #1

When you’re picking a basketball team, you’ll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you’re playing the odds Picture Quote #1

Yoga’s hard for me, but I know you can really feel the difference when you do it consistently. I’d rather be playing basketball Picture Quote #1
