For me, I tend to sit back sometimes and just count my blessings because of how long I've played.
I began writing in the 4th grade. As a matter of fact, I produced a play for the entire school. It was about Leif Ericson and the discovery of America.
I have no desire to go in for tyranny or to play the part of King Charles. I hate tyranny in any field of human activity.
I got a tiny part in a play, auditioned for another one and got that as well. Not only that, the first finished on the Saturday and the other started on the Monday which is like an actor's dream!
When I'm a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It's somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.
If the human body recognized agony and frustration, people would never run marathons, have babies, or play baseball.
Whenever you take on playing a villain, he has to cease to be a villain to you. If you judge this man by his time, he's doing very little wrong.
I find often in Hollywood there are many people who play themselves really beautifully. And certain parts are not that dissimilar from who you are as a person.
We stuck the record head so it kept on recording over and over on top of itself and played keyboard notes into it to create this ghost repetition melody.
Playing evil is just not interesting. I don't think anyone who does evil stuff thinks they're doing evil stuff. That's the scary part.
I don't do method acting. If I play a farmer, I'm not gonna spend 3 weeks on a chicken farm. That's a bit too much for me.
As a hockey player, playing for an Original Six team at Madison Square Garden, where it's packed every night, there's nothing like it.
I hate playing the piano! And it's so hard to fight for Beethoven's soul! But that's what I have to do!
But yeah, I played bass guitar in high school and in college and then I actually fractured my thumb, so my bass career went bye-bye.

I'm still enjoying discovering more designers and getting to play dress-up in a bigger way than I ever have before.
I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.
Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting.
I did play Ramses II once, who lived to be 91 and had 120 children, but he died 4,000 years ago.
I wrote my first book at eight, all of four pages. At 10, I did a 40-page story. At 12, I wrote two stage plays.
Our first gig was a battle of the bands. We did 45 minutes of comedy and never played a note - and we won!
