Playing Quotes

All of us have a lot of sides to ourselves, but the fun thing about being actor is you make one side predominant for the character you’re playing Picture Quote #1

I feel that through my father’s music I’ve found my own voice in my own playing Picture Quote #1

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 like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece, and somebody’s gonna play it better Picture Quote #1

I guess anybody who plays can say that they play guitar, but if you want to be a guitarist, you’ve got to practice all the time and you’ve got to get good at it. It’s more than just having one and playing it Picture Quote #1

It hasn’t been until the last couple years that I’ve started playing close to my age. But it’s fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years Picture Quote #1

As a spectator, you get to watch everything, but I’d much rather be playing than watching. I’ll have time to watch later in my career Picture Quote #1

When I committed to playing a little tennis in some exhibitions, it was the best thing for me. It got me in shape. It got me out of the house. It got me doing something I love to do Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play. But during those high school years when I was playing guitar in my bedroom, I at least had the intuition that I had to write my own songs Picture Quote #1

While other kids were out playing and doing healthy things, I read an ancient judo book with a neck hold that was fatal to so many people, they finally dropped it from judo Picture Quote #1

Once you’ve experienced the warmth of an audience, the achievement of getting your first laugh, and entertaining them, singing or playing piano, it just keeps it all going Picture Quote #1

Playing sport has become very important today, since it can encourage young people to develop important values such as loyalty, perseverance, friendship, sharing and solidarity Picture Quote #1

What I love most about playing in front of people has something to do with a certain kind of energy exchange. The attention and appreciation of my audience feeds back into my playing. It really seems as if there is a true and equal give and take between performer and listener, making me aware of how much I depend on my audience. And since the audience is different every night, the music being played will differ too. Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit Picture Quote #1

Having a relationship with people of questionable character is like playing with a razor blade on your skin, and pretending to observe that it is harmful to your body Picture Quote #1

Riding a bike works your legs but not your brain. Playing chess works your mind but not your body. Climbing brings it all together Picture Quote #1

In these early games you’re focused on your performance. Just coming out and playing hard. There’s not a lot you can do in terms of preparing and in terms of scouting Picture Quote #1

You can go bang a ball against a wall all you want, but how do you become a better team player? By playing other team sports Picture Quote #1

If a player is trying to intimidate a skilled player on your team, what do we want? We want our skilled players playing, so we shouldn’t be doing that Picture Quote #1

Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off Picture Quote #1

I love the horror genre and the thriller genre, so I’ve got no problem with playing a psycho Picture Quote #1

I can cite a few cases of where people have tampered around with magic and witchcraft that they’ve been very severely frightened and traumatised by some of the outcomes. I mean we are playing with fire, and I had to say that Picture Quote #1

I do love science fiction, but it’s not really a genre unto itself; it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I’ve done, I’ve ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that’s made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big, mythic situations to talk about ordinary things Picture Quote #1

I’ve kind of had to make a career of playing villains. In order to stay employed, I had to figure out how to play bad guys Picture Quote #1

Usually I like playing other people. I like finding myself through other characters. But when you do cabaret, you are yourself. I think it’s the most fun, and I tell you, if somebody had told me that, I would have done it fifteen years earlier than I did Picture Quote #1

Once you sit in front of people and start playing songs, it’s all on you. No matter what happens, it’s entirely your responsibility the entire time. I like that intensity Picture Quote #1

I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I’m generally not interested Picture Quote #1

For me, when I grew up playing music, I played music in church and people were shouting and having a big time, and church wasn’t something where it was subdued. If you played something, you brought it to church with you Picture Quote #1

Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that’s a thing that’s going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar Picture Quote #1

I’m in hotel rooms night after night, playing a lot of the same venues as my dad and carrying the guitar that used to be his. We’re the same person. I don’t know if he realises how much of a legacy he has left to his children Picture Quote #1

If I’m focusing on playing and enjoying the song, then it always goes well. I get lost in the song, and the performance is so much better. If the focus becomes not making a mistake, then it just feels rigid to me Picture Quote #1
