Musicians should not play music. Music should play musicians.

~ Confucius
I'm a DJ who makes dance music who got to play with Sting.
~ Afrojack

The music industry is saying, This is the format, and if you'll fit into this format, you can be on radio, and if radio will play you, MTV will expose you, and MTV will expose you, we'll sell records.
~ Nikki Sixx
My whole thing is not just to play music for people, but to make them part of the evening.

Playing sport was somewhat frivolous, but I liked it. I rebelled a little bit, and wouldn't go to music lessons and things like that, but I would go and play ball. My parents learned to love it because they saw how much I got out of it.
~ Mike Krzyzewski
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
~ Brian May
Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes.
~ Claude Debussy
If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your body, why would you not play it?
~ Keith Jarrett
Since I started composing I have always worked with series of tempos, even superimposed the music of different groups of musicians, of singers, instrumentalists who play and sing in different tempos simultaneously and then meet every now and then in the same tempo.
~ Karlheinz Stockhausen
It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

~ Magic Johnson
It didn't matter what you look like. You don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and there's a lot to be said for that. Corpse Bride can just play all my parts from now on and I'll just do the voice.
~ Helena Bonham Carter
I started playing poker in 2003 during my pregnancy, to distract myself from my awful morning sickness. For months all I did was cry and play Texas Hold'em.
~ Cheryl Hines
When AI approximates Machine Intelligence, then many online and computer-run RPGs will move towards actual RPG activity. Nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of 'being there,' any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play.
~ Gary Gygax
Improvisation, if you play it at the top of your intelligence, leads to a kind of truth that people find really accessible.
~ Bonnie Hunt
I think there's a lot of intelligence out there, but that's just my guess. Question is: Are they peaceable or hostile? You could say that the peaceable ones are just going to stay at home and play with their Nintendos, so if you do meet any of them, they might be hostile.
~ Seth Shostak

And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.
~ Arne Jacobsen
The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play; I'm always in a play.
~ Temple Grandin
Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

I play myself all the time, on camera and off. What else can I do?
~ Harry Dean Stanton
The women who inspired this play deserved to be smacked across the head with a meat ax and that, I flatter myself, is exactly what I smacked them with.
