A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed, playing Nintendo.
Richard Pryor

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
George Eliot

I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.
Robert Louis Stevenson

You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
Derek Jeter

If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter

I'm good at working, but I'm very good at playing.
Salma Hayek

Know the names of past and current artists who are most famous for playing their instruments.
Marilyn vos Savant

I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it.
Eddie Murphy

I live for playing live. All my records are live, since After the Gold Rush, with the exception of Trans and the vocals on Landing on Water.
Neil Young

I go in and sing the song and arrange it and mix it and that's it. It's no different than playing in clubs.
Neil Young

Too many kids today are playing major league ball and don't belong there.
Joe DiMaggio

I just let the work speak for itself. An actor is not afraid to take risks; to put on different hats; to be a good guy, a bad guy, a victim, an abuser. There are all kinds of people in the world, and playing them is what acting is all about.
Kevin Bacon

Whenever I wasn't watching the planes, I was playing community baseball, football, or something like that.
Bo Jackson

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.
Jack London

If you're paid before you walk on the court, what's the point in playing as if your life depended on it?
Arthur Ashe

It is playing safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.
Dag Hammarskjold

I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.
Billie Joe Armstrong

It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.
Syd Barrett
