A Quote by Constantin Stanislavski

Play well, or play badly, but play truly. — © Constantin Stanislavski
Play well, or play badly, but play truly.
I have always said we are going to play well and we going to play badly. And I have not got issues when people criticise as long as we don't play well. That's part and parcel of the game. I love it and that's how it should be.
You can't be the best player if suddenly you play well and the next day you play badly.
If you play well, you are praised; if you play badly, you are criticised. Everyone should try to manage it the way they want to.
If you train badly, you play badly. If you work like a beast in training, you play the same way.
When i play in Las Vegas I play for money, when I play in Miami I play for holidays but when I play in #India I play for Love
And now, in honour of the 150th anniversary of Beethoven's death, I would like to play 'Clear the Saloon', er, 'Clair de Lune', by Debussy. I don't play Beethoven so well, but I play Debussy very badly, and Beethoven would have liked that.
Endeavour to play easy pieces well and with elegance; that is better than to play difficult pieces badly.
It's not easy to play your best for 40 weeks. It happens every year, I don't play well in Rome or Hamburg -- I don't know why -- but then I play well after that.
It has been our experience that if a young man decides to go on a mission, he can not only play well when he returns, he will often play better. If an athlete could play well before he went on a mission, he will definitely play well when he returns; and, if an athlete could not play well before his mission, he probably won't play well when he returns. However, his chances of playing well are perhaps better if he goes because he will return with . . . better work habits, and a better knowledge of what it takes to be successful.
It is of far more important that a man shall play something himself, even if he plays it badly, than that he shall go with hundreds of companions to see someone else play well.
What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.
Every player, they should sit down and have a meeting. They should agree, 'this is how we play Nadal, this is how we play Federer, this is how we play Djokovic.' Then, all try to play them the same way. The right way. First you have to play the right way, then you need to play well.
I consider myself a pretty hardworking guy and I like to play hard, play physical and play well defensively too.
It's important to play the pieces that you feel you can play well. It was always my dream to play Bach - my first love and fascination - Chopin, and Szymanowski.
If I play well I'm not very, very happy and if I play badly I'm not very, very sad. I just try to keep my balance.
I'm not saying that what the radio plays isn't good. My issue is with what they don't play. You can play Jay-Z, but why don't you play Jurassic 5? You can play Nas and Nelly, but why don't you play J-Live? I want to open up the door to how it was back in the day.
