I played classical as a kid.
An epigram is only a wisecrack that's played at Carnegie Hall.
I've been a very lucky guy. I played on championship teams. I played for Canada. I've won some awards and I'm very proud of those accomplishments. But I don't think there's anything greater than to come home and to be recognized at home. This is the pinnacle.
I played so perfect, I couldn't play more perfect.
At her birthday, my seven-year-old daughter will say that she wants these big cakes and certain expensive toys as presents, and I can't say no to her. It would just break my heart. But when I was little, for birthdays we just played outside and we were happy if we got any cake.
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music Would you hold it near as it were your own?
I played soccer, and I played in a band, and sometimes I was able to do a movie. And my school would cooperate. It was a very easy way to roll into what later became my profession. It's more innocent. When you're a child actor in the U. S. , it's a different thing I think.
I once did something right. I played first-rate basketball. I really did. And after you're first-rate at something, no matter what, it kind of takes the kick out of being second-rate.
My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.

I think the parts I was offered when I was younger, where I was asked to play that kind of slacker person, that was just because people would go, "Oh, she has dyed black hair. " I guess that's how they thought I looked. I played a couple of those roles, and then unfortunately you get pigeonholed really fast, and then you just keep getting asked to do that. And now it would be weird at the age of 46 for me to play a slacker. It would look like I was nuts.
Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.
And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
I guess travelling that kind of long distance and travelling at such a slow pace, it wasn't something that I was thinking about when I was inside of the cistern, but when I started hearing the music played back to me for the first time by an ensemble, it totally brought me back, immediately, to memories of sailing. And it really became apparent that this was some sort of a through line in my life that I was excited to explore more.
I wasn't thriving socially, so I stayed in my room and played guitar all the time.
I've been very happy with all the teams I've played for. They all treated me very well.
I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.
I have played Blair Cramer for 20 years, I feel a personal investment in the success of 'One Life to Live. ' I love the show, I'm a fan of the characters, and I have invested in the journey these fictional characters have traveled.
