You go to something like the Golden Globes, and it’s the most glamorous place you could ever be, but then you go home and you’re still like, ‘Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas.’ At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you’re just a human.

In putting setting to work, I like to think about long shots and close-ups. The long shot is the overall view of the place in which the characters live – the island, the town, the wide sweep of place. Then we narrow in. The close-up, the tight focus, makes the place different from anywhere else.
You walk into the class in second grade. You can’t read. What are you going to do if you’re going to make it? You identify the smart kid. You make friends with him. You sit next to him. You grow a team around you. You delegate your work to others. You learn how to talk your way out of a tight spot.

Beowulf is not a superhero. He has a talent, very much like Clint Eastwood in ‘Unforgiven.’ He’s very good at staying calm in the right moment, but he does bad things. It’s very much about having talent in a tight spot.
Tight hamstrings are fierce. And I’m guilty of not allocating the time that I should to stretch. I’ll put the time in for the runs, but then I go, ‘I have to go here. I’ve got to go there.’ Usually, stretching is what gets cut out of the program, but it’s so critical.

We live in a world where the laws are getting so tight that management has changed to micro-management to quantum-management to paralysis.

Baseball and golf have a lot of things in common, including the fact that players in both games love hitting for power.

You’d be surprised at how many times I’d hit the ball, and the hair would go straight into my eyes. That’s why, even when I play indoors, I wear a visor, because it stops that, and I’ll apply a lot of gel and hairspray to keep it tight.
