I love playing and I love singing, and the writing. There's kind of a symbiotic relationship between the writing and the playing.
I don't follow the thought; "Winning is not important, playing the game is". If that is in fact true; then why do we keep score??
Every director is themselves; [they're] not playing a part.
People expect me to do the classics, and it is a lot like playing a favorite song.
I started out playing in clubs. I always like existing under ground and over ground at the same time.
Playing Bridge is a pretty old fashioned thing in a way that I really like. I was watching my daughter ride horses this weekend and that is also a bit old fashioned but fun. I do the dishes every night - other people volunteer but I like the way I do it.
I just kinda like playing. I don't necessarily go on tour to promote my albums. I'm on the road all the time. The fact that I have a new record is out is a coincidence.
It became apparent to me really fast that I wasn't going to be able to make a living and pay my bills playing on Broadway.
I just love music generally. If you come to my house I always have music playing.
I had a really bad blushing problem when I was younger. The first time I ever performed was in an English class. I had an essay that I was supposed to write, and, instead of writing an essay, I wrote a song. So, I was playing this song in class, and I literally turned the color of this sweater that I was wearing, completely red. I think it was that feeling of challenging everything in me, my introverted personality. Like, "This is what you have to do. It doesn't matter if you do it wrong, you just have to do it. "
When I'm not writing music, I'm playing guitar, or reading philosophy. So all I have left is just an hour or two for Claudia Schiffer.
Day and night she had drudged and struggled and thrown her soul into her work, and there was not much of her left over for anything else. Being human, she suffered from this lack and did what she could to make up for it. If she passed the evening bent over a table in the library and later declared that she had spent that time playing cards, it was as though she had managed to do both those things. Through the lies, she lived vicariously. The lies doubled the little of her existence that was left over from work and augmented the little rag end of her personal life.
I just love musicians. They're not all super-happy all the time, but when they're playing they're happy, and it's such a beautiful thing.
When you have five little kids, you're not going to open Mindy Kaling's latest book. You're playing with your kids.
When you're directing, I feel like I'm playing all the parts, without the make-up. I really get into the heads of the characters.
We have to move the meter in sports in Africa, especially basketball. With the growth of the NBA globally, we have to figure out more ways to develop facilities, coaching, leagues, and youth development in Africa. The talent is incredible. Especially physically. How do we get the youth to start playing at an early age just like in soccer? The future is bright. We now have an NBA office in Africa, we have legends and Hall of Famers, we have African assistant coaches, front office members, and some prominent African players over the last 10 years. So we must plan well for the next 10.
For me there's nothing better than putting the white shirt on for England and playing for England. I'd get worried if it wasn't like that.
I reached this level by sheer dint of hard work, toiling away at scores of tricks and experiments. I used to play with the ball from dawn till dusk and just kept practising. If I wasn't playing matches, it was trying out one on one or two against two with a tennis ball. Then I used to try aiming at certain targets. That's the only way to learn. And if I missed the target, I kept trying until I scored
Time is a child playing with droughts. The lordship is to the child.
A god's relationship to the world, even a world in which he was walking, was about as emotionally connected as that of a computer gamer playing with knowledge of the overall shape of the game and armed with a complete set of cheat codes.
