I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.
I find that a lot of the good acting comes out when you're physically being pushed: your brain turns off and just deals with the situation at hand. You get to a point where you're exhausted at the end of the day, but I quite like that.
I know I have pretty good instincts.
My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.
I don't like to guess. Just react. Some guys are guess hitters. I just could never do it. If you guess and guess wrong, you have no shot of hitting anything else.
Without any formal orders to retreat, what was left of the several organizations yielded to a general impulse to abandon the field. Officers and men became controlled by the one thought of getting as far as possible from the enemy.
When you're on the battlefield, you switch off your soul; otherwise, you would die of terror - you would die of fear. You switch off your soul, and you act like an animal or a machine.
As soon as we left the ground, I knew I had to fly.
I only judge people in one way. I like them or I don't. But I don't have preconceived ideas.
I've always kind of done exactly what my instincts said.
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change.
When you are falling --- Dive!
When we respond to threats immediately and take action right away, it's usually the threats that we're hard-wired to respond to, the kinds of things that our ancestors survived.
When I was 16, I didn't really know what intuition was as a word, even. It's one of those things you experience, but you don't really know what it is.
Self-defence is Nature's eldest law.
People who weren't there can say it was idiotic or shortsighted, but when you're in a moment where horrible things are happening in front of you, sometimes you just need to act on what's best.
I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.
When you walk into a room, you assess it instantaneously, habitually, before you're even aware of it. I mean, you make sure there's not a hole you're going to fall into, but mostly you're not even aware of what you're thinking.
I think more from my heart. My brains don't work as much.
Sometimes when you're going fast, your instincts can be very useful.
Everybody knows how to throw a punch. Not correctly - he or she might not know how to turn the wrist or know what part of the hand to hit with. But humans instinctively know to fight, whether they bite or claw or pull hair. It's an instinct.
Opportunity just exists in the air for a few minutes. If you don't obey your gut feeling right away, you've lost your chance.
You must trust your instinct, intuition and judgment.
An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
In a game like football, where you have very little time to decide what you are going to do, you have to react almost instinctively, naturally.
