People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder but because they're going deaf it has to be played louder still.

It is so characteristic that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.

My childhood was influenced by the roles my father played in his movies. Whether Abraham Lincoln or Tom Joad in the 'Grapes of Wrath ' his characters communicated certain values which I try to carry with me to this day.

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

I played Winnie Cooper on 'The Wonder Years' from ages 12-18 and did a few other movies during some of the summers.

I used to hear about guys who played saying how difficult it is getting up in the morning and now I'm experiencing it those same effects.

I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that I thought golf writers got up every morning played a round of golf had lunch showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.

I met my boyfriend a pro poker player at a tournament. He tried to dissuade me because it's a seedy gritty world. Listen I've played till 4 in the morning. I've played with a half million dollars on the table.
