I never play as well without these guys; the best I have ever been creatively has been with Pearl Jam.
In the early days of Pearl Jam, we were caught up in such a whirlwind that I was just trying to keep my head on straight and play music. I didn't have the kind of confidence that other guys in the band did.
I will not programme generic orchestrations but try to find original ones - when I play Richard Rodgers songs, for example, I have Peggy Lee's original orchestrations that I got from her granddaughter for them.
I wanted to go down as one of the best running backs to ever play at Penn State.
I won't play for a penny less than fifteen hundred dollars.
Pep Guardiola saw me as a central player in his system, which my style of play fit into perfectly.
I finish the game, and sometimes I don't play very well, and my grandmother calls up to ask why I haven't played well. Instead of being criticised by Pep, it's my grandmother!
I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
Percussion is physical, as most instruments are. The body must function well in order to play the instruments well. Last year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.
I moved to New York and went to a performing arts college, but it wasn't until UCB that I started performing on the regular, figuring out how I'm funny, why I'm funny, and how to play with an audience.
Media play a powerful role in establishing and perpetuating social norms.
My personal style and public style are very different. When I go out, I play dress up.
We did one pilot for FOX which was about this couple that moves to a town, and we play everyone in the entire town. So it was like a Peter Sellers film.
From time to time, the Vienna Philharmonic could play without a conductor because they are so good.
The first devices to record and play back music were the phonograph and the gramophone. The gramophone's inventor: Alexander Graham Bell.
Obviously, you have to have some physical ability to play quarterback in the NFL.
When I was a kid, school recess and physical education class were times for kids to run around and play games.
I used to play rugby, which requires a lot of physical strength. The game requires you to get aggressive.
It's the NFL, so anytime you get to go out and get to play against another team, there's going to be some physicality.
But when I first fell in love with the piano, I knew it was me. I was dying to play.
