I don't think I'm a home run hitter. Most of my home runs are line drives. If I hit it, thanks God. But it's not the kind of thing that I think about. I just go out there and try to have a better season than I had before. Home runs are not in my mind.
I don't consider myself a political comedian because it's so hard. It takes time away from me saying terrible things about TV.
I didn't study interviews. I studied acting.
You can't let emotions get involved with what the common goal is: to win. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about.
As long as we're winning, I'm fine.
That really helps a player, knowing when they're going to go in the game and what they need to do when they get in there, what to expect.
They're like, 'Oh, you did a...' and I'm like, 'I did a what?' No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go, 'It's called a...' and I'm like, 'Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.'
When I'm performing, I'm not even thinking about the song. I'm thinking about the audience.
People say, 'Why don't you do interviews? What do you think about this? What do you think about that?' My job in the band is to play drums, to get up on stage and hold the band together. That's what I do. At the end of the day that's all that's important. Everything else is irrelevant.
To me, I never get too caught up in the position thing. At the end of the day, you're playing your game.
There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.
All I can do is my best for the team, whether that's from the bench or if I start.
On the day I'm performing, I don't hear anything anyone says to me.
I wouldn't say I'm a Method actor, but I do try to focus very deeply on what character I'm playing, and everything else goes out the window. I forget about everything. I try to get everything else out of my head.
You know, for me, you don't chase wins.
Every actor strives to be in the moment, and when you're on a horse, you constantly have to communicate with it and assert your authority.
To me, acting is a matter of absolute concentration. You can laugh and giggle with your friends up to the minute the director says, "Action!" Then you snap your mind into shape and into the character that you're playing and relate to the people that you're acting with and forget everybody else that you've been joking with.
There's only one plan in football: win you next match.
Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.
We're always driven by our mindset and feeling on a particular show day, so you'll never know what you'll get until you see it happen in the ring.
When I walk into the arena, I get excited and emotional, when I see the fans rise and start cheering. But then I get into the ring and it's all business for me.
I'm not an actor that tends to care. I don't ask 'Is this a close up? Is this a master? Is this a wide? What are you doing? If I look up and notice the camera I go 'Oh, it's a big one today, must be an IMAX.' And that's kinda it for me because it doesn't affect what I'm doing.
Work always comes first as an actor.
I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.
I think I approach everything as an actor first. I'd rather walk onto a set and just act and just worry about that.
