It was all I lived for, to play baseball.
Mickey Mantle

I want to do something where I play Judi Dench's younger sister or daughter.
Dawn French

As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
Ben Hogan

I play golf with friends sometimes, but there are never friendly games.
Ben Hogan

Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
Ben Hogan

The only thing I can do is play baseball. I have to play ball. It's the only thing I know.
Mickey Mantle

Today's Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they're out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.
Mickey Mantle

To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.
Mickey Mantle

I'll play baseball for the Army or fight for it, whatever they want me to do.
Mickey Mantle

We always work at least a month to six weeks before we go on the road, usually for something like eight to 12 hours a night. It took six weeks to do it this time. We just play virtually everything we know.
Charlie Watts

I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.
Charlie Watts

People say I play real loud. I don't, actually. I'm recorded loud and a lot of that is because we have good engineers. Mick knows what a good drum sound is as well, so that's part of the illusion really. I can't play loud.
Charlie Watts

I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing.
Charlie Watts

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
Charlie Watts

You need better technique than I have to play jazz, but what you have to do is the same thing, isn't it?
Charlie Watts

To be able to play as slow as Al Jackson is almost impossible.
Charlie Watts

I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.
Magic Johnson

Don't corral me, and I'll always come home. Just let me go out and play during the day.
Sandra Bullock

After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.
Sophia Loren

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
Louisa May Alcott
