When you’re doing something for the first time, you don’t know it’s going to work. You spend seven or eight years working on something, and then it’s copied. I have to be honest: the first thing I can think, all those weekends that I could have at home with my family but didn’t. I think it’s theft, and it’s lazy.
I treat it just like a workday. When I’m training, I’m training. When I’m not, I’m not. And when I’m not in fight prep, we have fun weekends.

After I began in elementary school, I was able to go to the movies, and that was how I would spend my weekends, watching several movies one after another and almost all of them American movies. This is how I fell in love, at so young an age, with American movies and culture.
I don’t ever remember wanting to do anything but coach. My dad obviously influenced me. But it wasn’t because he sat there and drilled coaching stuff into our heads. We were on the bench keeping the scorebook and traveling with the team on weekends. It was such a great upbringing.

I was 21, and I was in college, and I’d eat real healthy during the week, and then on the weekends I would reward myself, and I’d just go to town on whatever my parents had in the fridge. And my little brother would be like, ‘Hey.’ And so it was actually him that begged me to do my first contest.
If it weren’t for this, I’d probably be working a normal job and playing on the weekends for 10 people at the Irvine Spectrum.
At Trinity College there was a coterie of the poshest of the posh, people you didn’t ever see, they were so posh. They went to each other’s rooms and, at weekends, each other’s estates. I preferred to be with the weirdo bunch of raggle-taggle thesps.

My father owned some Laundromats, and when I was 10, he had me in there making change and being an attendant. He taught me that on weekends, you had to get up and go to work. That has been a big help in acting.
I want my weekends back so I can be with my kids.
I’m pretty healthy, so I eat a lot of vegetables and fish. But I’m a huge sweets fan. It’s really bad. I love ice cream and cookies and cake and all that stuff. So on the weekends, I will definitely indulge.
I really enjoy what I’m doing, I really enjoy my weekends watching football. I watch the kids play football and the Saturday before last I was at four games. Then I ended up watching La Liga on telly. On the Sunday I’m the same and I really enjoy it.
