I am always excited about playing in front of live audiences because I really enjoy it, for the most part.
When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
I hate it when bands do that; they're so proud of their new album, they have to play all of it and a couple of golden oldies.
The film is the first art form capable of demonstrating how matter plays tricks on man.
In times of terror, when everyone is something of a conspirator, everyone will be in a situation where he has to play detective.
I certainly look at the modern guys and think they are a different species to when we played. They are fitter and their conditioning is extraordinary.
Coming out with records when you're in a big, successful group that plays stadiums, that's scary to come out by yourself.
My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
There's the tradition in jazz of having the Battle of the Bands, and you do not want to get your head cut when you're playing.
I play piano and drums very poorly and French horn and tuba all equally as bad.
Villains never know they are villains in a picture so I play this like I'm the nicest guy in the world.
I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.
I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.
I think in a play it's wise to just sit back and watch other actors and be able to shape it from the audience.
Everything is very black and white for me. I don't really like playing mind games.
We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.
I find it satisfying and intellectually stimulating to work with the intensity, brevity, balance and word play of the short story.
Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.
I don't do a huge amount of physical activity. I play tennis, I work out sporadically, and I eat well and take care of myself.
The studio is meant to be always a place where, first of all, they can be out of spotlight, and second, where they could work with a peer group on parts that they might not have played otherwise.
I'm always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters.
