Playing on the PGA Tour and playing professional golf, I think it's what everyone has dreamed of doing - all the guys who are out here. I'm just happy to be able to call this a job, if you want to call it a job.
‐‐ Rickie Fowler
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music.
‐‐ Michael Franti
Playing piano well is one thing, but attempting to play at concert level accompanying Meryl Streep while Stephen Frears is filming you in front of hundreds of people is - well - psychotic.

‐‐ Sarah Polley
Playing safe is probably the most unsafe thing in the world. You cannot stand still. You must go forward.
‐‐ Robert Collier
Playing Sgt, Trotter in 'The Mousetrap' is the same as playing Scripps in 'The History Boys,' in the sense that they're dream roles that I've always wanted to do. The fact they're letting me do this professionally and I'm getting paid for it, I find astonishing.
‐‐ Thomas Howes

‐‐ Lou Boudreau
Playing show after show is like my bread and butter.
‐‐ Ani DiFranco
Playing shows and making records keeps been getting easier and more fun.

‐‐ Michael Jordan
Playing somebody who's still alive is very interesting.

Playing someone drum 'n' bass for the first time in 'Pass Out' - they're like, 'Oh my God, what is this?' I'm having a lot of fun and a good time showcasing the music.
‐‐ Tinie Tempah
Playing someone who has a mental illness, the responsibility to not stuff it up is really strong. You have to get it right. Not just for the people who are sufferers, but for the people who care about them - their loved ones.
‐‐ Debra Lawrance
Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.
‐‐ Mike Krzyzewski
Playing 'Tetris' for 15 minutes is like meditation.

Playing the guitar, you kind of lock into a rhythm and a groove, and then it relaxes me to make up lyrics and sing.
‐‐ Cat Power
Playing the lead in a film where you shoot for three months away from home is not an easy thing for me when my children are in school and my husband is running a theatre company.
‐‐ Cate Blanchett
Playing the Mammy of Miss Leigh was just about the biggest thrill I've ever had.
‐‐ Hattie McDaniel
Playing the misunderstood character has been really interesting to me. But I think after too long, that also becomes a little bit of a cliche. Or that's all you're expected to do. I didn't want that to be the totality of what my career was.
‐‐ Anne Dudek
Playing the priest on 'Oz' was a fantastic experience. I was very lucky.
‐‐ B. D. Wong
Playing the role of Christ was like being in a prison. It was the hardest part I've ever had to play in my life. I couldn't smoke or drink in public. I couldn't.
‐‐ Max von Sydow
Playing the running back position, your legs, that's your living, that's how you make your living. You have to have great thighs, knees, everything.

Playing the violin and singing and whistling are just three different ways of making sound.

Playing this game, you cannot have nothing holding you back. If you're thinking, you're wrong automatically.
‐‐ Cam Newton
Playing tough characters just comes easy for me. It's not who I am in real life, so I love going to work and pretending to be something I'm not. I love all the action and confidence. But when I finally go do a rom-com, I hope my fans will support me.
‐‐ Katee Sackhoff
Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.
‐‐ Tommy Lee
Playing video games is something I enjoy in my spare time. I'm a gamer, always have been.
‐‐ Kevin Garnett
Playing well with others is important - not being too flashy, just keeping good time and of course coming up with cool beats. A good snare drum, kick drum, high hat. Just getting good at the hand feet coordination.
‐‐ Chad Smith
Playing Willie Loomis was really fun for me because it was something nice and different to embody. It was neat playing this drunken servant who was hypnotized by Johnny Depp.
‐‐ Jackie Earle Haley
Playing with decks, for me, has always been about trying new things. I make it a point to keep trying different things, keep pushing it a little bit at a time.
‐‐ Eric San
Playing with different genres and perspectives and ways of telling stories is one of the perks of being a novelist, but at the same time, I want precision. And in order to be precise about stuff, you have to get personal. Symbolism is very boring.

Playing with friends is a victory.
‐‐ Fuzzy Zoeller
Playing with Kip I definitely learned a lot playing with these incredible guys and hearing them.
‐‐ Arto Lindsay
Playing with my grandfather, grandmother and my parents, I came to music pretty naturally.

Playing with Phil Mickelson, it doesn't get any better than that.

Playing with Tom Watson, I grew up a little bit. Even if he didn't say something to you, even if he didn't give you advice, you have grown up just watching him. It was great.
‐‐ Matteo Manassero
Playoff hockey is the best way to market your team. It's the best way to grow your fan base and give hope to your players and for them to develop.
‐‐ Steve Yzerman
Plays are a pretty big commitment. It takes a minimum of three months out of your life, really. And if you have family or kids, then at least during the rehearsal period for five or six weeks, you kind of say goodbye to everybody.
