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.
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.
In politics, they play games. In Hollywood, they play games. I think that, overall, everybody is trying to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
You start out playing in kitchens, and you end up playing in kitchens.
I can play basketball, run track, and play volleyball, so yeah, I've always been an athlete at heart.
Playing live, you can't survive, certainly not in England. We used to work daytime jobs and play gigs at night. It was very exhausting.
Then I was playing the piano at eight, and that helps you learn about women because most of the people I was playing for were women.
Ray Kinsella: By the time I was ten, playing baseball got to be like eating vegetables or taking out the garbage. So when I was 14, I started to refuse. Could you believe that? An American boy refusing to play catch with his father. Terence Mann: Why...
The musician who is paid in advance does not play so well.
You can do anything with children if you only play with them.
The man who can't dance says the band can't play.
The girl who can't dance says the band can't play.
We speak in (rich) monotones. Our poetry is haunted by the music it has left behind. Orpheus shrinks to a poet when he looks back, with the impatience of reason, on a music stronger than death.
They [the critics] deal with Schoenberg’s early works and all their wealth by classifying them, with the music-historical cliché, as late romantic post-Wagnerian. One might just as well dispose of Beethoven as a late-classicist post-Haydnerian.
Orpheus never liked words. He had his music. He would get a funny look on his face and I would say what are you thinking about and he would always be thinking about music.
With pop music, the format dictates the form to a big degree. Just think of the pop single. It has endured as a form even in the download age because bands conform to a strict format, and work, often very productively, within the parameters.
It's really hard in this day and age, with radio and MTV being so consolidated, to get new music out there. I think we've become a really legitimate, viable avenue for getting new music out there.
I'd say music runs in my blood. My parents are exceptionally talented singers, so even before I was born, it was a known fact to them that I'd become a singer. Thanks to my genes, I started off at the age of three and since then, music has meant ever...
