Those who play badminton well take decisions quickly.
From the start, all I did was play football. I briefly played badminton and won a tournament when I was 12, but really, it was always football.
When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.
I don't really do scales... I mean, I play parts of them, but then I bail and start playing parts of other things. The term 'scale' feels very scripted to me because I'm an improv player.
I have the vanity to think that every play I have written is different from the previous ones. Yet, even though they are written in a different way, they all deal with the same themes, the same preoccupations. 'Exit the King' is also 'The Bald Soprano.'
It's a great day for a ball game; let's play two!
It'd be very difficult to cast me as a ballet dancer. Everybody is, in some sense, controlled by their size and their gender. I'm not going to be allowed to play the part that Denzel Washington plays.
It's a beautiful day for a ballgame... Let's play two!
I used to watch Monte Irvin play when I was a kid. I idolized him. I used to wait in front of the ballpark just for him to pass by so I could see him.
To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.
To me, relaxing doesn't mean that we play ding-dong songs and look at a wall of bamboo. It's just completely unoriginal.
And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.
I didn't think I could play in a band. It just wasn't an option - all band members were men, and bandleaders were men.
I play a lot of charity golf mainly. I'm a bandit 18 if I play two or three times a week.
In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.
I guarantee you there's a bunch of the twentysomethings that don't know that, don't know I play banjo and bluegrass.
I don't think I could ever be in a band if we just had to go out there and play the record note for note. I'd give up. I'd become a banker.
I've got a nice little crafty deal with the people in Barbados; 10 days out there teaching the locals how to play darts for an hour a day. Get paid for that as well.
I would suggest that barbarism be considered as a permanent and universal human characteristic which becomes more or less pronounced according to the play of circumstances.
I sang barber shop harmony and sort of got into performing. And it just came naturally. Then, when I was in college after the war, I did a play, 'Pygmalion,' by George Bernard Shaw. And from then on, I knew that's what I wanted to do.
