Being Played Quotes (page 9)

Be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special observance, that you o'er-step not the modesty of nature: for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure. William Shakespeare
Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head. Dave Mustaine
Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world. Greg Norman
Being on a book tour is like being on the seesaw when you're a little kid. The excitement is in having someone to play with, and in rising up in the air, but then you're at the mercy of those holding you down, and if it's your older brother, or Paul Wolfowitz, they leap up, so that you crash down and get hurt. Anne Lamott
Being 5' 10, I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I'd just hit the crap out of the ball. Summer Altice
Playing roles in any relationship is false and will inevitably lead to the relationship's collapse. Noone can be any one thing all the time. Portia de Rossi
Margaret Weis quote: "Be the hero of your own life. Don't let somebody else play..."
Be the hero of your own life. Don't let somebody else play that role. (Vasu) Margaret Weis
Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women it is merely a good excuse not to play football. Fran Lebowitz
Alain de Botton quote: "Being content is perhaps no less easy than playing the violin..."
Being content is perhaps no less easy than playing the violin well: and requires no less practice. Alain de Botton
Being on Oprah? You realize that there are a couple of types of audience members. There are like the cult people in the audience who are just crying before she gets on. And then there are the people who are playing it cool. I definitely was somewhere in the middle. Genevieve Gorder
Being an actor gives you a chance to play all kinds of roles, very moving and dramatic on one project, silly and girlish on another. That's the most interesting thing out this business, you get to keep reinventing yourself. Sarah Michelle Gellar
Being an actor means asking people to look at you. I guess I accept that. But it's a profession in which the job is to show another world and other people. You may access it through bits of yourself, and your imagination and experience, but actually, in the end, you're not playing yourself. Ralph Fiennes
Henry Van Dyke quote: "Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to..."
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play, and to look up at the stars. Henry Van Dyke
Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me. Sarah Polley
Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else. Richard Masur
