I allowed artists to play for as long as they felt they could justifiably continue to create.
Born to play? Hmmm. Probably Romeo. . . or Hamlet, I guess. Also, I'd be a great Alexander the Great.
Even my mom is calling me Shaggy now, which is weird, because Shaggy is more like a character that I play.
There was always a piano around the house and I've got other brothers and sisters but I'm the youngest, and none of them ever wanted to play it. So I guess I was the only one that was gonna end up playing it, if it was one of us.
Aomori Water is a sound collage piece made in 1998, in Aomori Japan. I was in a residency with other artists. A Japanese sculptor was making a round house and wanted a sound piece to play in it. I recorded some very gentle waves lapping the beach, for the first part. And a very small mountain stream, flowing, for the second part. I layered 8 tracks. This was the first work that I did in ProTools.
People ask how I learned to play bass with one hand. Well, with a face like mine, you learn to do a lot of things with one hand.
The best way would be education and kids and all that stuff and then education and working education comes through. Then I started a music school and the music school now teaches kids to play the violin and the viola.
That's the life really isn't it? You write. You record. You play. And it never grows old.
The best thing about football is that the rules are so simple. Anyone can play anywhere.
I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.
Some people come up and say they would like me to play Boba Fett again.
Schooling after the second grade plays only a minor role in creating or reducing gaps.
Any play I do, anything I do in the theatre, it's absolutely essential for me in a sense, to create a family in order to. To create, in other words, to put a group of people together who love to share together what they're doing, rather than be individuals as such.
It's cool to play a sinister bad guy who also has a human side.
I'm the type of guy who wants to make every play.
Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.
I think life is a big game we play.
A lot of people play single to work some angle. I'm always about keeping it real. If that's how I'm living, that's how I'm living.
When we play an unaccompanied Bach suite we may compare ourselves to an actor in Shakespeare's day, creating scenery which did not exist at all, through the power of declamation and suggestion. So in Bach. There is but one voice -- and many voices have to be suggested.
I like to use my voice as an instrument and just play along with the music. That's really how I tend to my voice. The content usually comes after or during that process of just trying to be an instrument.
