My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.
When Buddy played, he played all out, all the time. It was a wonder he didn't keel over and die before he did.
Before I got addicted to comedy, I was seriously thinking about playing tennis full time. I joined the tennis team and played with a lot of professionals.
I wanted to play Dracula because I wanted to say: 'I've crossed oceans of time to find you.' It was worth playing the role just to say that line.
At school, I enjoyed playing the bassoon. I was in the orchestra and played the melody when the other boys sang hymns at prayers time.
But I have returned to one hundred percent playing this year. I am fully back to playing full time.
That first play I did in New York, Rogelio Martinez's 'When It's Cocktail Time in Cuba,' I played a young Fidel Castro.
I've had the luxury of playing golf around the world, and I've spent a lot of time evaluating how to play all kinds of courses.
How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
All the modern verse plays, they're terrible; they're mostly about the poetry. It's more important that the play is first.
Our country's growing obsession with organized sports isn't just hurting our children, but also our communities. As play is siphoned off to gyms and fields, fewer kids are playing in our streets, parks, and playgrounds.
The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.
As players, you just play for the club. I love Man United, I'm going to play for Man United, and that's what my focus is on.
I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.
If you play the very subtle jazz tunes with acoustic pianos, acoustic bass and it's a dead standard, you are going to play very differently. It depends on the music.
My house was filled with music. We had a piano, and my brothers and sisters played instruments. Even though I was around it, I played basketball.
For me, playing music is like meditating - I just play and don't really think about what I'm doing, I just let it happen.
Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.
Playing with Kip I definitely learned a lot playing with these incredible guys and hearing them.
I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.
I was never built to play the hero. Physically or emotionally... And they're not as rewarding to play. At least for me.
