Most actors, if you ask them if they play guitar, they'll say they played guitar for 20 years, but what they really mean is they've owned a guitar for 20 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In 2010, I had been playing guitar for 50 years.
I've been playing a guitar since I was 10 years old.
I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living.
I've been a musician longer than I've been an actor.
I started playing guitar when I was in my late teens, and within two years I was starting to play shows.
My father had played the guitar when he was young, and my uncle Jack had worked for Kalamazoo, before the war, developing guitar pickups. So there was a kind of family thing about the guitar, although it was considered something of an anomaly then.
I played guitar in a band from when I was about 20 for three years. Then I sang a little. Then I started getting really busy as an actor and forgot about it.
I've been buying guitars since 1964, and you fool yourself into thinking it's the last one.
If you told me I was going to live to 240, I would take 10 years off and try and act. I don't have that kind of time, so I'd much rather stick to playing guitar.
If a musician wants to be an actor, everyone thinks that's pretty cool. But if an actor wants to play a song, even if they've been doing it for 40 years, that's bad news.
