The main issue was deciding what to play: Should it be old Ramones material or new material? I had about three albums worth of new material, but I knew that people would rather hear the Ramones songs.
To master a new technology, you have to play with it.
Every rugby player in Australia and New Zealand or wherever they are from wants to play in the World Cup, and I am no different.
I've got belief that the Newcastle fans know how much I want to play for them.
Before I signed for Liverpool, I was playing for Newcastle as a No. 10 - basically, I was always attacking. I didn't have to do much defensive work; I didn't play as the No. 6 or the No. 8.
I wanted to be a lead singer in a band. I can't sing. I'm almost tone deaf. I still play. Next life, rock'n'roll for sure.
All the movies where I play nice guys don't seem to do very well.
I do play nice guys. I really do.
I did suffer a lot since karting, with my size and everything, not really having a clue what to do when I started karting. So I suffered in every category: F4, F3, F2. Not so much F2 but I've had to kind of play catch-up quite a bit and in some ways, F1 was a bit nicer with power steering.
I actually find it's more interesting to play in the niches and find ways to apply technology to relatively straightforward problems.
My father had a piano that was a nickelodeon - put a nickel, and the roller would play.
The nickel spot, inside. It's the hardest position to play. It's harder than outside.
I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.
I have a little Nintendo DS, and I play these brain games that are supposed to stimulate your mind.
I get the impression sometimes that a play arrives in a sequence of events that I have no control over.
It don't make no difference where I go or what happens, so long as I can play the full nine.
In the playoffs, the best players are supposed to play better. I did. It made no difference.
All the players want to play on the big stages - and I am no exception.
Doing these parts is not fun. It's challenging, but no fun. It's creepy. I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.
God gave me a very good hand to play over my 88 years. I have no regrets.
