When some people get parts, they feel they can now relax, but for me it was always the opposite. Sometimes before I do a movie or before I act out a scene, I may not sleep well the night before. If I don’t know what the scene is about, I might get all worked up.
It is quite hard to relax in London. I always say I’d move somewhere quieter, but I am a bit of a confirmed urbanite now – it crept up on me without me noticing. I always think that I function quite well on my own, unusually so, but then I’m reminded how important people are to me.
Sometimes I do need to go to karaoke, sometimes I need to relax.
My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it’d be ‘nice’ to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.

‘JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures’ – it took a long time for that to get animated because the old-school animation wouldn’t have the glorious nature of JoJo justice.

The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.

It’s always been such a big part of my life to be fit and healthy and be outside and run and play sports. It gives me energy. Sometimes, I have these days where I don’t do anything because I have the days off, and I just need to relax, and I actually get more tired.
Usually, when you’re working or you’re on set, everything is very guarded. At parties, people have a tendency to relax.

You do get a chance to think about things when you’re at home, but that is when you want to relax and forget about football for a bit. Honestly, you don’t really get time to stop and think about things. We have a job to do. That is all we concentrate on, going game by game.

When you are interviewing someone, never let your camera person turn off the camera. The second you turn off the camera, they’ll say the magic thing that you’d been looking for the whole interview.

We all need to relax more, but I don’t find it easy.
For me, the moment the mic is on and it’s rolling, it’s impossible to vocally relax for some reason. But one day, I’m going to be able to sing the way I sang when I was a little kid, completely open and free. That’s, I think, the one thing that’s changed: Growing older, I’m not ashamed to hear my voice.
To relax, I work.
Whenever I was done with a scene, I’d go back to my trailer, relax and go over my lines. I’d think, ‘I can’t wait to get out there.’

I don’t pretend to play basketball because I wanna feel like one of the guys. I wanna lie in the sun and relax.
