Playing Yourself Quotes

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
What I'd like to get across is try your best to be yourself. I realize there are those who are much further along than you are; there are stars, but learn to be who you are and to play yourself. Be confident in that fact. Jerome Richardson
It's a werewolf movie with Christina Ricci, and it was a chance to work with some good people. But playing yourself is always fairly risky because you gotta watch how you goof on yourself. Scott Baio
Arthur Ashe quote: "You really are never playing an opponent. You are playing..."
You really are never playing an opponent. You are playing yourself. Arthur Ashe
When you play long enough, everybody goes through spells and streaks and slumps of some nature. I think it's just one of the those things where you have to play yourself out of it. Mark Messier
While you’re playing yourself out in lonesome dissipation in front of a pinball machine, someone else might be reading through Proust. Still another might be engaged in heavy petting with a girlfriend at a drive-in theater showing of Paths of Courage. The one could well become a writer, witness to the age; the others, a happily married couple. Pinball machines, however, won’t lead you anywhere. Just the replay light. Replay, replay, replay... Haruki Murakami
There are nights when you can feel stale because you've fallen into a pattern by touring too much, but it's easy to get out of it by deliberately getting in trouble and playing yourself into a corner to then see if you can get out of it. Leo Kottke
In stand-up it really helps to play yourself and talk about your own feelings. You cannot fail to be original if you're just talking about what you think about X, Y and Z. Unless you've got a twin brother who's also a stand-up. Eddie Izzard
Playing the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school... Paulo Coelho
Playing the good guy is tough because you know as well as I do, in real life, you have to watch your P's and Q's and conduct yourself in a respectable manner if you expect to have friends. R. Lee Ermey
Jacqueline du Pre quote: "Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place."
Playing lifts you out of yourself into a delirious place. Jacqueline du Pre
I told them to place a cyvasse table in your chambers. Who was I supposed to play with? Yourself. Sometimes it is best to study a game before you attempt to play it. How well do you know the game, Arianne? Well enough to play. But not to win. My brother loved the fight for its own sake, but I only played such games as I can win. George R. R. Martin
There's a certain - there's a different pressure with playing in a Ryder Cup. You know, you're not just playing for yourself. You're playing for your teammates. You're playing for your country. Rory McIlroy
There is a vast difference between games and play. Play is played for fun, but games are deadly serious and you do not play them to enjoy yourself. Maurice Baring
So be gentle with yourself; show yourself the same kindness and patience you might show a young child - the child you once were. If you won’t be your own friend, who will be? If, when playing an opponent, you are also opposing yourself, you will be outnumbered. Dan Millman
