Any time you play your horn, it helps you. If you get down, you can help yourself even in a rock 'n' roll band.
I'll cheerfully confess to spending a lot of time playing completely disgusting computer games that have no redeeming social value.
For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
I'm a vagabond. I have a suitcase that is ready to go at a moment's notice. The thought of being in one place for a long time, or playing one character for a long time, is terrifying for me.
Between 'Avengers,' 'JLA/Avengers,' and 'Trinity,' I've gotten down and dirty in the big universes and had a hell of a time playing in those sandboxes.
There are only so many hours you can sit on the bus and watch TV or play basketball or whatever we do to pass the time before we go out onstage.
I have a hard enough time speaking for myself - I don't pretend I can be a spokesman for anybody. I have no interest in playing that role.
Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.
The first time my parents found out I was acting was when a friend told them they had just come back from a play I was in.
First time I ever played a bad guy. I didn't want to do it. I got stuck in bad guys for 13 years after that.
A question I get asked a lot is 'What is it like to play the straight guy all the time?' And I'm totally okay with it.
The Knicks left me open a lot of times the last time we played them, and I was just making sure I took the shots that were there.
Officially I'm not playing any more. I've stopped. My time is up. Everything has been a lot of fun.
If you're playing for five hours you don't want to score goals all the time and I loved dribbling. I could score a goal, but I preferred to dribble.
I can't summarize my favorite movie, Jacques Tati's 'Play Time.' You just have to see it.
I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It's a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.
Obviously, I don't want to be in the box for over a hundred minutes during the season, but at the same time I have to try to play with an edge and battle out there.
There's been a lot of role reversal going on in the band. The roles people have been playing for a long time will always be there, but everybody's willing to try on different outfits.
I'm inspired every time I see a role I'd like to play, an actor turn in a well crafted performance, a story I'd like to tell, direct or produce.
I've been lucky to work with people that I like most of the time. If I don't like them, I'll play head games with them to get their minds spinning.
I got my first trumpet when I was six years old, from Al Hirt. My father was playing in Al Hirt's band at that time.
