To play different characters on a TV show where you're working every day, playing multiple characters every day, it's so ridiculously intense.
I think the trick to playing villains is that you can't play them as if they know that they're villains, otherwise it becomes some sort of mustache-twirling caricature!
It should be noted that children at play are not playing about; their games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity.
I have been playing games since I was about 6, and they've always been a big hobby of mine.
If I can play one note and make you cry, then that's better than those fancy dancers playing twenty notes.
Living life without a GOAL is like playing football without a Goal post. There is no Purpose. Then why play the game of Life?-RVM
I was playing this horrible part. I didn't didn't want to play it because the character was an awful racist. But I'm glad I did it because I met Sidney Poitier.
I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.
It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.

I played a lot of sports and it's the plays in basketball that weren't worked out that are the ones that are just fantastic that you remember. We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.
It'd be very difficult to cast me as a ballet dancer. Everybody is, in some sense, controlled by their size and their gender. I'm not going to be allowed to play the part that Denzel Washington plays.
Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.
I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.
When I was a young man, I shined the shoes of Louis Armstrong and Louis Jordan! Music was just everywhere like that. And in my family, everyone could play something, and if they couldn't play, they could sing.
