David Edwards

Rock, Play, Same

You don't have to play a whole lot of guitar to be a good blues player. Some people plays too much guitar. Stack it on top of each other the way it don't - you're working too fast. Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow. You could kill a man with just one chord.
David Edwards

Good, Play, Guitar

I think we simply all like to project ourselves into somebody else - somebody who is better-looking, richer, smarter. It's comforting. It's escapism, and that, of course, is what the movies are supposed to be all about. Ultimately, I think it's just part of human nature to pretend.
Richard D. Zanuck

Nature, Movies, Human

Jon Heder

Marriage, Best, Wife

Two, Pretty, Another

Rick Yune

Happen, Country, Around

I used to let a lot of unimportant things bother me. I don't anymore. Right now, things are going great in my life. It used to be when that happened, I would be waiting for something to go wrong. Now I don't expect that - if something negative does happen, I'll deal with it, learn from it and realize it is the way it is supposed to be.
Doug Davidson

Life, Great, Waiting

Thomas Sydenham

Rather, Died, Greater

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

Funny, Age, Someone

Colleen Atwood

Beautiful, Problems, Though

Marek Belka

End, Someone, Problem

William Joyce

Book, Away, Getting
