Either you play the game, or you let the game play you.

HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.

I’ll drive down the street, and I’ll practice improv. I will sit there at a red light and see two guys talking to each other, and I will just start playing both characters. I can’t hear them, but I can see their mouths moving, so I’ll just put words in their mouths.

Let’s face it, first-time assistant coaches normally don’t walk into jobs with two perennial All-Stars on a team that just got bounced in the Western finals. Normally, they get a job in the middle of a year, playing for lottery balls.

I play golf – badly.

It’s harder to play drums than guitar, physically. I’m always kind of on the edge. I guess that’s how I play everything: on the edge of my ability.

You might as well play at the show everyone else is playing at.

I want to make people feel happy, comfortable—make them feel like it’s the first time they heard Reggaeton and play with their emotions. That goes beyond music.

It’s a fine line between writing something with genuine emotional impact and turning into little idiots feeling sorry for ourselves and playing stadium rock

Life is not always a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

I may be French, but I’m playing for Arsenal

Stop playing verbal games with me, madam, or I shall go out into that ballroom, find your mother, and bring her here.

Me, I like playing in England.

Me, I like playing in England

I love playing there… I like Atletico.

Everybody wants to play in Europe, and if you’re in the rhythm of playing a game every three or four days, sometimes you can play better, even though it’s harder at the end of the season.

When the guy is too good — you know, playing clean and you’re playing very bad, I mean not that good — you need to change.

I had so much respect for him out on court. I hope I can play him again many times … and why not here?

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez all play at a really impressive level and are consistently excellent.

If you fall for the games, then you’re the one playing

Playing against someone like Roger Federer is not easy. I had my chance today, but I guess I made a lot of errors. But I have no complaints.

I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you’re playing.

I remember I’d be playing in the streets with friends, sometimes barefooted. I’d come home with sore feet, but wanting to do the same the day after. That passion made us keep playing. Playing in the dirt was our daily joy.

Playing in adversity is when we show we have clear heads.

What I like about Scolari is his personality. He is a firm guy in his words – if you are not playing well, you’ll be benched, but if you are benched and training well, then you will get your opportunity

I never thought of playing for Italy

I love going to the Algarve and playing golf.

You have to choose whether to take the money or follow your own ambitions, playing in the best league in the world and winning titles.

There’s no point playing up front just because you want to be the one who scores the goals. Make sure you have a knack for it.

Personally, I love training, and getting paid to play football is incredible. Playing the game and working hard is what I have always dreamed of doing.

I love going to the Algarve and playing golf.

Nine or ten, I like playing both. I like to score goals, and I feel in both positions I can score goals.

Playing for Madrid is a great challenge.

Playing motivates players.

I would love to have a career like Zinedine Zidane. He stopped playing, took some time, realised he liked coaching, and started working in the youth academy. I could follow a similar path.

I learned to respect the coach and to do everything within my power to show that I should be the one playing. That’s exactly what I did during my three years under Mourinho.

Today, in every wave of every ocean, I see our children playing and dancing. Today, in every plant, tree, and mountain, I see our children growing in freedom.

Baseball is a dance of skill and strategy, with each player playing their part in the choreography

I don’t care what it is, when I’m playing a character, I put a lot of truth into it. I put my heart and soul into it.

I wanted to find a club with a vision. There’s a change happening right now. We’re a young team with many great players. We play offensive. That’s very motivating.

Playing Australia, of course, is always challenging.

I’ve been successful when I have kept things simple – playing cricketing shots that I’m blessed with or I am good at playing.

If I am playing a game, I want to give my best, and that’s the only thing that helps me sleep peacefully at night.

I would like to improve my shot selection when it comes to playing short-pitched deliveries.

I totally enjoyed playing in Australia. I think they play very tough cricket, and the brand of cricket they play is very strong.

I’m Harder Than DJ Khaled Playing The Quiet Game.

Everybody has different ways of playing the game.

At the highest level, you are playing the best from an opposing country, so the margin of error is very little.

I have a strong passion for the game and always look forward to playing.

Playing as a team is more important than playing as individuals. That’s what makes a team successful.

I believe in playing aggressive cricket but not at the cost of the team’s interests.

I have always maintained that I play for the team and not just for myself.

Bad thing about playing at Alabama? I really didn’t have any bad moments.

I was thirty-five and I’d thought I was playing political poker and it turned out I’d been playing in some other game I didn’t even know about.

The passion for playing Chess is one of the most unaccountable in the world.

The uglier a man’s legs are, the better he plays at golf. It’s almost a law.

It was an old, old, old, old lady,
And a boy who was half-past three;
And the way they played together
Was beautiful to see.

The game is only over if you stop playing. There is always one more life. Even the most brutal death isn’t final.

To play requires trust and love.

In Hollywood, you play a mom and instantly, you’ve got osteoporosis.

I never had only one job. I was either playing ball or writing or doing TV or modeling.

When you’re playing to an audience that isn’t your own, it’s quite scary.

When you play, play hard; when you work, don’t play at all.

It was so easy to play tennis, so easy.

I play Father Francis in ‘The Exorcist Prequel.’ It’s fantastic. We are shooting in Morrocco and Rome. Paul Schrader is directing; Stellan Skarsgard plays the younger Max Von Sydow character. It’s just a fantastic script. It’s a very eerie, very scary script. It encomposes a growing dread that I think is really appropriate for the film.

I’m very attached to my family. My mother is hard on me when she has to be, and that makes a huge difference. Their support means I need concentrate only on playing.

It was playing on the varzea where I learned to be a warrior, to fight for every ball, and then to never give it away.

I can’t put my mind to anything else. I’m not interested in hanging out or partying. For me, it’s all about the pitch: training, playing. But even when I go home, afterwards, it’s football the whole time. I think I’m obsessed!

I began playing football on the streets.

Don’t change, be together: Gabriel Jesus’s advice to Arsenal teammates as they gun for the Premier League title.

I think there’s a bit of the devil in everybody. There’s a bit of a priest in everybody, too, but I enjoyed playing the devil more. He was more fun.

One of my personal plights in this business is about playing ‘The Sassy Black Girl.’

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.

If you look at a multi-player game, it’s the people who are playing the game who are often more valuable than all of the animations and models and game logic that’s associated with it.

I love playing music, so I think the whole John Varvatos look is kind of cool. I think he has a great style.

The stage is my comfort zone, and playing live is what I’ve always wanted to do. It’s why I want to do two hundred dates a year. I wouldn’t feel that way if I were nervous onstage.

I relish the challenge of playing and going out at the age 60 to play like I did when I was 50.

It’s sort of the U.S. team playing the team that lives in the U.S.

Six holes in one? … I have nine, but I’ve been playing a lot more years than he has. I’d say the young man is a little bit ahead of the curve.

I have been there, and I know I can do it. Whether it happens or not, I don’t know. I think experience is a great factor. I don’t anticipate Dana playing poorly. I just have to play well.

When we have that many guys playing well, you have to shoot 5 or 6 under,

People don’t quit playing because they grow old. They grow old because they quit playing.

If the French noblesse had been capable of playing cricket with their peasants, their chateaux would never have been burnt.

But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children – all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it’s the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can’t come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That’s why I’m so committed to this work. Later, after you’ve stopped playing, it’s harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever.

The biggest thing for me is the new music. I’m playing a lot of new music that is not released yet on my tours. Seeing the reaction to that is super inspiring.

We are game-playing, fun-having creatures, we are the otters of the universe.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

Let me tell you what it is like playing against Messi. You are up against a footballer who can take the ball either side of you, and you have no idea which side that might be from any hint about his body-shape.

Playing against Messi, as I’ve said before, is as tough a test of your concentration as any in football. At any moment, he can take the mickey out of you. Physically, it is demanding, but mentally even more so. You cannot switch off.

When it came to playing Arsenal over the last eight years of my career at United, we always went into games against them feeling like we would win – and we usually did.

I am not a man of many words, but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour. This was not a decision that I have taken lightly but I feel now is the right time for me to stop playing. To have been part of the team that helped the Club reach that 19th title is a great privilege.

I’m married, and my wife has set out very limited Xbox limits. But if I had my druthers, I’d be playing all the time and never see any of my friends or do any work.

I’d always tried to resist playing the super virility thing. I liked showing the vulnerability of age.

I started making music… I guess I was 12, and I started playing ‘Guitar Hero.’ And you know, it got to a point where on expert, you can only exceed to a certain point. And so, you know, I was like, ‘Let’s play real guitar. Let’s not waste more time.’ So, I got my mom, I told her to buy me a guitar for Christmas, and I started making music then.

My dad was always playing music. Not, like, playing music but listening to music.

We are about creating a new wave of talent. We are the Manchester United of kitchens now. Am I playing full-time in the kitchen? I am a player-coach.

I think a lot of people have seen me on The Simple Life and think I’m a “spoilt airhead,” but I was playing a character. The producers said they wanted Nicole and I just to be crazy and funny and say outlandish things.

There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse.

We cannot all argue, but we can all pray. We cannot all be leaders, but we can all be pleaders. We cannot all be mighty in rhetoric, but we can all be prevalent in prayer.

Playing by the side of the best of the world is always good. Things get easier.

I just like playing with the ball. I always have.

It was just like, ‘Let’s stop playing. We really love each other. I’m scared to lose you, and you scared to lose me.

Acting is nothing more or less than playing. The idea is to humanize life.

Football is big business – you can’t get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

I’d give all the Champagne I’ve ever drunk to be playing alongside him in a big European match at Old Trafford.

I had been playing for a while, and I asked Louisville Slugger to send me a dozen flame treated bats. But when I got it, I realized they had sent me a box of ashes.

I think it’s really important for this great state of baseball to reach out to people of all walks of life to make sure that the sport is inclusive. The best way to do it is to convince little kids how to—the beauty of playing baseball.

I am the greatest tennis player. The other players are like coins in my pocket that I give to a homeless man

Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?

There is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Generally my instinct is to not do biographical movies. I want to build characters and not be locked into playing a part in history.

I hate formal stuff. I love looking like a doll and all that stuff and playing dress up, but when I’m home, sweat pants, t-shirt. When I’m in the studio, sweat pants, t-shirt.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore.

We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing!

My life is not possible to tell. I change every day, change my patterns, my concepts, my interpretations. I am a series of moods and sensations. I play a thousand roles. I weep when I find others play them for me. My real self is unknown. My work is merely an essence of this vast and deep adventure

Playing Arnie was fun because everything I did was spontaneous.
