When you perform, you can convey emotions differently, and your look can reflect each of those emotions.
‐‐ Rita Ora
When you pick up a book, everyone knows it's imaginary. You don't have to pretend it's not a book. We don't have to pretend that people don't write books. That omniscient third-person narration isn't the only way to do it. Once you're writing in the first person, then the narrator is a writer.

‐‐ Itzhak Perlman
When you play a doctor, you have to look like you can do it but you don't actually go and do it. It's not like you learn how to cut open somebody and go do surgery. You have to think of a human being and not play the idea of what that would look like.
‐‐ Carrie-Anne Moss
When you play a great team like the Patriots, you can only kick so many field goals and stay in the game.

When you play a sax, that saxophone is irreverent. It's noisy; it's a trickster... you cannot hide the saxophone in your hands, so it's a good teacher.
‐‐ Joy Harjo
When you play a show or festival, people know what they're getting; they want it. Then you're thrown onto a show where people are watching TV in their houses, and whether they ask for it or not, we're being played in front of them. There's a lot of negative feedback.
‐‐ Tyler Joseph

‐‐ Sade Adu
When you play Bobby, it is not a question if you win or lose. It is a question if you survive.
‐‐ Boris Spassky
When you play for 20 years - and really, I never had to miss a game due to injury - that's not just good protection. That's good luck.

‐‐ Jake Shimabukuro
When you play in a band, you're in phase with people. When you're a DJ, you're totally off-phase. Your work time is 3 A.M. - 5 A.M. and I don't think you can connect. You're miserable the whole time. Whenever I see a DJ in the airport, they are always on the verge of crying.
‐‐ Thomas Mars
When you play in the Premier League, say you're playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it's more of an open game, it's more attacking, end-to-end.
‐‐ Gareth Bale
When you play, it's like you know that there are people out there who are hearing it for the first time, and I think that's really important.

‐‐ Mark Messier
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
‐‐ Greg Lake
When you play piano, your left hand and right hand are synced. Your brain basically has a clock, so that the right hand knows that 0.3 seconds after I hit this key, I need to hit that one. And the right hand knows not to hit keys that the left hand is playing, so the hands do not collide.
‐‐ Vijay Kumar
When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all.

When you play professionally, you get accustomed to turnover. Players come and go - they get injured, they get transferred, they get cut from the team. Coaches are hired, and coaches are fired. It's just part of the world you live in.
