Thinking Play People

More From Dana Plato

I was demanding of myself a deeper and greater honesty, more and more revelation in my work in order to give it back to the people where it goes into their lives and nourishes them and changes their direction and makes light bulbs go off in their head and makes them feel. and it isn't vague, it strikes against the very nerves of their life and in order to do that you have to strike against the very nerves of your own.

I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.

There's no question that in my lifetime, the contrast between what i called private affluence and public squalor has become very much greater. what do we worry about? we worry about our schools. we worry about our public recreational facilities. we worry about our law enforcement and our public housing. all of the things that bear upon our standard of living are in the public sector.

There's two kinds of evil that horror fiction always deals with. one kind is the sort of evil that comes from inside people, like in dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. the other kind of evil is predestined evil. it falls on you like a stroke of lightning. that's the scary stuff, but, in a way, it's the stuff you don't have to worry about. i gotta worry whether or not i'm getting cavities. i gotta worry about whether cigarettes are giving me cancer. those are things i can change. don't give me lightning out of a clear sky. if that hits me i just say, "that's probably the way god meant it to be."

The nerves are a problem on trumpet, because when you mess up everyone can hear it. just remember most people are too polite to say anything about it. that should calm your nerves.

Similar Quotes

Having lots of people talking highly of you and respecting your art and your work, this is one of the best feelings that you can have.

I contend that in the kind of nonfiction i write, and that other people also pursue, anything is permissible provided the reader knows what you're taking liberties with.

I would say most people assume that i'm not very smart or educated or earnest, because i have this image that i'm sort of narcissistic, chasing attention, and wanting people to like me. it makes me laugh because i've done plenty of interviews and when you read the article from beginning to end you can see that i'm not your typical music video model.

People have the power to redeem the work of fools.
