To me it was never about what I accomplished on the football field, it was about the way I played the game.
I've dealt with adversity before, had injuries before. I didn't let that slow me down. It just changed my attitude about the game.
'What is success?' It isn't only about winning, but playing in a certain way.
I don't think it's a matter of, do you win the game or not, it's how gracefully do you play it.
One of the main things I take away is just the way the boys approach the game and carry on. You are in the dressing room and it is very much just about getting in and doing as well as you can, putting everything you can and having fun. There is no underlying context to it other than just playing the game.
It's just a game. I love it. And yeah, I get frustrated, but I try to not let it get me too upset. I mean, I don't get upset over bad shots or anything like that.
You can always tell the golfer who's winning: he's the one who keeps telling his opponent that it's only a game.
I feel so lucky to have a mom who is not only an extraordinary actor but someone who is game enough to not worry about our relationship versus what we play in movies or television.
I played [baseball] in college, so it wasn't that much a stretch. But I would say the main thing for guys who hadn't played before it's just one word - swagger. If you have swagger on the field, and look like you know how to play, that's 90% of it.
Yes, I'm the same grumpy Gautam who smiles very less on the field. I go very quiet before going into the match. I guess it works for me, though my team-mates keep telling me it is just a game.
I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game.
I take laser tag incredibly seriously. I am an extremely competitive person - most likely a little over the top at times, but that's just who I am.
Some players have got their price, but, to be honest, that's not the way I look at the game.
