Barcelona are special in the way they play. They're a machine.
For the last decade, the last 50 years, Barcelona dominate football matches. I love the way they play.
When I was about 12, I had my first paying gig - 8 dollars to play rhythm guitar in a polka band. Pretty soon, I ended up playing in all the bars within driving distance of Abbott, Texas.
I got fired from being a lunch-shift bartender because I had a reading of a play.
I went out there to play my game for the fun of it and never based my career around records.
I took a huge risk leaving baseball, because I was predicted to play in the big leagues. I'm kind of a prototypical second baseman.
Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.
We seek the right to play our part in advancing the cause of national defense and national unity. But certainly, there can be no true national unity where one-tenth of the population is denied their basic rights as American citizens.
That's how I grew up. Just play defense - and make a basket.
The worst words I could ever hear as a bass player was, 'Can you play the root notes?'
I don't mind playing absolute bastards... I just don't want to play the grouch.
Whenever I play Las Vegas, they always give you a suite, and it's really nice, and it always comes with a large bathtub.
I do basically what a conductor does with a baton, except I also play along with the orchestra. So I have to juggle the roles of playing the concertmaster; sometimes I drop the violin and wave my arms.
I came to the Bay Area not just to play basketball but to explore business interests.
We may play in a contemporary rock vein, use standard bebop themes, and many other things besides.
When I heard Charlie Parker, I knew that that was going to be the new wave, the new way to play jazz. From that point on, I was sold with... the idea of bebop.
The first play I saw was a Samuel Beckett play which was great.
I now understand how varied the world of cultivated rice is; that rice can play the lead or be a sidekick; that brown rice is as valuable as white; and that short-grain rice is the bee's knees.
I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before.
On the other hand, I was very much interested in the way people behaved, the human dance, how they seemed to move around each other. I wanted to play around with that.
