Each time I seem to go through one of life's huge things, I want to play music.

I've had a pilot every single year that didn't sell for the past four years, that'll smack you in the back of the head. I had a really good one last year; I wouldn't have done the play in New York if I had gotten that one.

I just did a play in New York which has been my best experience that I've had for maybe ever. It was Paul Weitz's play called Privilege and I was in New York for three months.

All we can do is play ball. Every time we go out on the field, we do what we do in America - live in the freedom that our country affords us.

With American orchestras, in particular, because they play in such huge halls, getting a true pianissimo is very hard.

The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it's a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself.

In the range of music that we play - roughly 300 years' worth-there really are more similarities than differences.

The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

When you have an acoustic bass in the ensemble it really changes the dynamic of the record because it kind of forces everybody to play with a greater degree of sensitivity and nuance because it just has a different kind of tone and spectrum than the electric bass.

I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel.

I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.

There was Shawon Dunston and Mark Grace, and together we were a double play combination for ten years.

When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?

It was a wonderful experience to play in the NFL, and I have no regrets. I truly will miss playing for the Lions. I consider the Lions' players, coaches, staff, management and fans my family. I leave on good terms with everyone in the organization.

The game is the ultimate significance to me because it is so important to a lot of people. It has left a mark on our culture to be voted as one of the best to ever play.

I'm not comfortable being around too many people. I don't like being out in public too much. I don't like going to bars. I don't like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don't always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

Everyone, Republican or otherwise, has their own particular part to play. No part is too great or too small; no one is too old or too young to do something.

Each day, and the living of it, has to be a conscious creation in which discipline and order are relieved with some play and pure foolishness.
