I play music the way it was played in yesteryear. Compay Segundo
A friend of mine has a house with a basketball court and a pool. The guys go over and play basketball; I lie by the pool and nap in the sun. That defines me. That's consistent with who I am. I don't pretend to play basketball because I wanna feel like one of the guys. I wanna lie in the sun and relax. Ryan Seacrest
There's nothing like playing. You can coach and you can be around the game, but there is nothing like playing. It's just so much fun. Steve Largent
