Plays Quotes

There has to be, because they’re human beings Picture Quote #1

I started off doing plays as a theater actor. But I never thought of it in terms of it leading anywhere. I was just trying to be the best actor that I could be in the context of what I was doing Picture Quote #1

I try to be a smart quarterback. I’m not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score Picture Quote #1

Best trumpet: Mike Vax, an alumnus of the Kenton Band, who plays every style with a bright cutting edge, throwing in bop riffs here and there Picture Quote #1

It’s not always the best team that wins the game it’s the team that plays better Picture Quote #1

I used to have the ‘Best Of Eddie Murphy’ VHS tape that I wore out completely, watching it over and over again. His ‘Buckwheat Sings’ is, to this day, one of my all-time favorite sketches on the show. I also loved the one where he plays the Tooth Fairy Picture Quote #1

Environment plays a huge role in my ability to creatively focus and my mood - for better and worse Picture Quote #1

Big band music, to me, it really has three key elements. First is the lyrics are really sweet, and they’re just really family-friendly.

The last part is the fact that it’s danceable Picture Quote #1

I was asked to be on ‘The Colbert Report’ last year as Big Bird and Oscar. But when we got there, we discovered they wanted both characters on at the same time. Stephen Colbert didn’t know one man plays them both. We called Joey Mazzarino, our head writer, who’s a very good puppeteer as well. He agreed to zip over and do Oscar Picture Quote #1

I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don’t understand the role hair plays in Black women’s lives Picture Quote #1

The guitar is such an incredible instrument; it plays classical, flamenco, jazz, country, bluegrass, rock, acid, blues. You’ll never see a clarinet playing Black Sabbath.

Paul Robeson was an athlete, Rutgers valedictorian, lawyer, writer, actor in movies and plays, great voice - a black male doing it all, back when some people thought he shouldn’t. One reason I do all the things I do is to break stereotypes that people can only do certain things Picture Quote #1
