My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
Denzel Washington

I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.

I can evaluate a player in a very short period of time because I'm very close to that game, very educated in that game and played the game for a long, long time. I wasn't just a guy with talent. I learned a lot about the game.
Kurt Russell

My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.

I played professional level sports. When you're playing for money, it's a whole other level.

I played classical as a kid.
John Legend

My first big break came with Lauryn Hill on a track called Everything is Everything, I played piano on that track way back in 1998.

As a young child, I played the violin. I think that that started the spark.
Peggy Fleming

Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!

It would have been fun to have played Tim Robbins' role in Bull Durham.

To have everything written for you... It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers.
Buddy Rich

I mean, I think I liked every band I ever played in because each band was different, each band had a different concept, and each band leader was different... different personalities and musical tastes.
Buddy Rich

You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.
Richard Pryor

And, you know, I think the original recording of Ravel's Bolero, probably whoever played percussion on that, will never have It played better than that.
Buddy Rich

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.
Buddy Rich

Well, I think I've made 44 films and only like four times I've played real characters I'm just drawn to people who have a pioneer spirit, this extraordinary energy and commitment to their cause.
Liam Neeson

I owe all of this to the guys I've played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I'm at right now. I'm honored to be here.

My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.
Daniel Radcliffe

If anyone else played Hermione, it would actually kill me.

When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.
