Don't go so deep in yourself that you no longer exist for your partner and for the character and for the play.
I just want to play guitar and be in a band. Same as I always did.
When a warrior goes down, you pick up his shield and go play in honor of him.
Shakespeare is the outstanding example of how that can be done. In all of Shakespeare's plays, no matter what tragic events occur, no matter what rises and falls, we return to stability in the end.
I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them.
I just thank God I can make a living doing something I enjoy as much as I do playing music.
It's easy to get good players. Getting them to play together, that's the hard part.
Ronaldo is a unique player for all of his talent and his professionalism. He is a player who is extraordinarily consistent.
That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.
Footwork is definitely key for a linebacker. We make our money playing laterally. You've got to be able to move side to side and play sideline to sideline. So doing quick feet drills like ladders and keeping your footwork right is important.
I've always just tried to be who I am and be honest in terms of what I play. If that reaches a larger group of people, great. If it doesn't - if it remains obscure - that's okay as well.
Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess, modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though.
It's not that difficult to play well and win titles in a team like Barcelona, but it's in the national side where you see a player's true class. That was the case with figures like Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane. With Spain, Iniesta has shown that he is among the best players of all time and that's why I rate him higher than Messi or Ronaldo. Even though the latter two have incredible scoring records for their clubs, they still haven't won anything with Argentina or Portugal respectively.
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
Alekhine developed as a player much more slowly than most. In his twenties, he was an atrocious chessplayer, and didn't mature until he was well into his thirties.
There's no reason why a player is done at 33, 34. They train better, they eat better, they drink better. This isn't the old days when everybody sat around and drank beer.
Play the Reverse gossip game. See how many nice things you can say behind someones back.
He [Jimmy Connors] has one weakness. He can never say his opponent played well. That's why it feels good to beat him and that's why other players would rather beat him than any other player.
Look, we play the Star Spangled Banner before every game. You want us to pay income taxes, too?
The same sun that rises over castles and welcomes the day Spills over buildings into the streets where orphans play And only You can see the good in broken things You took my heart of stone, and You made it home And set this prisoner free
I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.
Every time a child organizes and completes a chore, spends some time alone without feeling lonely, loses herself in play for an hour, or refuses to go along with her peers in some activity she feels is wrong, she will be building meaning and a sense of worth for herself and harmony in her family.
To play well you have to have good balance in your life. Tiger has found that. If you play golf long enough you'll learn that life is more than golf.
I play saxophone, I play tenor sax.
Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.
