There was a lot of music in our home. Mom played piano in church and gave piano lessons.
The first play that I saw was 'Cyrano,' and I remember going home - I was like nine years old - and trying to learn the monologues.
I tend to play a lot of blues things at home, because most blues things are basically within a 12-bar pattern.
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.
When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?
I'm going to play again. I will think and I will hope so. If I don't, I am fine with it.
Whatever the reason is, I hope we can finish talking about the Olympics. It's gone, it's behind us. The schedule wasn't proper for players who went there and there is some fatigue in a lot guys' play right now.
What a thrill it was to play opposite Maurice Evans in this brilliant, dazzling musical, based on the life of two of the greatest personalities in stage history.
I love the Shakespeare history plays; I love the struggle for the crown as a plot.
I have a high regard for Native languages and the pivotal role they have played in our nation's history.
It's become uncool to play other people's songs, and that's absurd. It has got to change. It's the reason why everything's so mediocre.
A lot of people ask: 'Will you play a psycho to really change your image and prove you can act?' But that's not what I'm about.
I remember wishing there was snow in L.A. And how jealous we used to get of those Christmas specials with kids playing in the snow.
The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.
My dad loved black singers. So listening to New Orleans music, eventually I wanted to play an instrument.
I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads, an incredible number of obnoxious dad.
As a child, I remember my dad would sometimes drive me into town with him to play pinball machines together. It's a bittersweet memory but also a favorite.
My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.
I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.
I wish I could play the World Cup; that's one of my dreams.
