I think there's something very dark in the South African psyche. I think we live a lot of the time in a state of a very low-grade civil war; the levels of violence in South Africa are extremely high. In a way, the civil war that never happened is being played out in a covert way, so we live with a lot of very ugly things.
Sport must be amateur or it is not sport. Sports played professionally are entertainment.
When we started, it was so intense: it was like a religion. And when you played with Duane Allman, you either gave it your all or you got out.
Lost In Space is played on television somewhere in the world every day. It's been a cult show.
I'm trying to write a TV show. Ideally it would be just a reality-TV show, getting the guy who played Eddie Winslow and Kirk Cameron to live in a house. The Jehovah's Witnesses would come to the house a lot or something like that. I kind of like the idea of Scientologists and Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses trying to convert Kirk Cameron.
The game of history is usually played by the best and the worst over the heads of the majority in the middle.
I've played sports and been active my whole life.
Now I'm fortunate to have a good band in CA, and play many solo gigs as well. My point is that I stopped playing in bands and played solo for four years, to get back into the groove and pulse of writing and singing and who I am on stage.
I always felt different because I didn't pick one specific clique or group to be a part of, and I didn't choose one thing to be. I cheered, sang in chorus, was in student government, played in rock bands, went to dirt races in western PA... My interests have always been diverse.
'Sister Act' was my first audition out of school. I was 21 and cast as the understudy. It was non-Equity, so I lived in L.A. on $300 a week. I did that for a month and then came to New York to do a couple of gigs, including 'Hair' in the park, before going to London with 'Sister Act,' where I played the lead.
I've told the guys to keep their heads up. I really believe we played a great game here.
I have played in rain before. I have played in wind before. I have played in cold before, but not all put together. They were the hardest conditions I ever played in.
Music played at weddings always reminds me of the music played for soldiers before they go into battle.
When I played, I had a natural ability to jump and run, and I just wanted to get bigger and heavier.
The first thing I did that was at all in the public eye, other than on stage, was 'Oz,' in which I played the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in a maximum-security prison.
My first professional job was a Pete Bowker series for ITV called 'Monroe.' I played a Junior Cardiac Surgeon called Mullery.
Marc Gasol, he's more of a true center. There are guys who play that traditional center role, but the game is also played differently now.
I started out real young as a tight end, but I was never getting the football. I knew when I played basketball, I loved to have control of the ball. When I played baseball, I was a pitcher. I always wanted to be the guy throwing the passes and making a difference, I guess.
You've seen one of the our gigs you've seen 'em all. But if you're into the music, you'll know that we played better the night before or we can play better.
You know, music is sex. It's a sensual driving mode that affects people if it's played a certain way.
I've never disliked a character I've played. I've always tried to find the humanity and the reasons for what he does.
It's a very competitive world out there. The competitive spirit is fine within limits. But it shouldn't drown the sheer joy of the game being played. It's natural to want to win. But to me, it's not natural to want others to fail.
We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!
I never played inside as a kid - even in the rain I'd go out.
My first obsession was actually sports. I was a very good handball goalkeeper. With special permission, I played in the premier league in Germany before I was even old enough.
Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.
Overwhelmingly, I would say I've had really good support from many of my teammates and guys that I've played with. We want to be able to express our views. You know, we're part of this country, too.
We met in Cracker. I played a maniac fan who murders a policeman and she did my makeup. I thought anyone interested in me looking like that must have genuinely liked me.
I had to work on the fundamentals of the game because in league, the position I played, it was just bash and crash.
I can't stand Tiger Woods. He is the most selfish man I've ever played golf with.
I even played a part in 'Miami Vice.'
My first year of pro ball I played in the Northwest league and made the all-star team, and the next year I played I led the team in hitting and was third or fifth in the league.
I've always played strong women who are doing their own thing.
I don't want football to not be played, but I would like the sophistication brought forth to take care of those who need to be taken care of and to take the precaution, at the sacrifice of winning, to take care of people.
If you're not on a major label today, you're not gonna get played. They've got the market sewed up.
I am in love with all the characters I have played. And it is impossible to choose the best.
