We try to play all of our parts and flesh it out to get a lush sound, while also keeping the energy of a three-piece punk act. We want to be the best of all possible worlds Picture Quote #1

A lot of other bass players have told me I’m the only bass player who plays with a pick but sounds like he’s playing with the thumb and fingers, which is a great compliment Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare is the outstanding example of how that can be done. In all of Shakespeare’s plays, no matter what tragic events occur, no matter what rises and falls, we return to stability in the end Picture Quote #1

Money plays an important role in football, but it is not the dominating factor. When Chelsea play a Carling Cup game in a small city, and it could result in a draw - the excitement, the spirit, the atmosphere - that’s the real beauty of football in England Picture Quote #1

For all of my class projects, I somehow turned it into a commercial parody or put on plays. My whole thing was seeing things from a big picture, from beginning to middle to end: making a costume, doing voices, writing a script, making it all happen Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people walk into plays by accident - they don’t even know what they’re looking at; they just think to give it a chance. That can be the beginning of a long friendship Picture Quote #1

Just before a game, I try to keep a clear mind so that I can focus better. I’m the kind of person who plays fast and relies a lot on intuition, so being at peace with myself is vital. Saying my daily prayers helps me achieve this heightened state of mind Picture Quote #1

Being aware is being aware of one’s own mind and the games it plays on itself Picture Quote #1

The hollow horn plays wasted words, proves to warn that he not busy being born is busy dying Picture Quote #1

Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not Picture Quote #1

But we were doing plays and movies which I had nothing to do with other than being a producer, and I don’t have that kind of interest or time any more Picture Quote #1

Being patient ... and not becoming too stressed out over the big plays, those are the things to remember Picture Quote #1
