I’ve been in plenty of crashes! Some are not too bad – resulting in ice burn. Others are pretty rough, and sometimes – rarely, but sometimes – people do get seriously injured. It’s a risk we all know of and accept. If you bobsled, you’re going to crash – guaranteed.
I always feel stupid giving advice since I’ve been married, what, a year? I can say this: Be in it for the long haul and just know there are going to be rough patches. No two people are the same, there are going to be areas where you just don’t click.
I’m from the hood. You put me in a rough neighborhood and believe me, I’m OK.
My mum says part of the reason we moved house, it was a rough area at the time, was down to that – they wanted to help me.
When you’re on an ensemble show and you’re messing around with everybody every day and you’re not in every scene, and then all of a sudden you’re in every scene, it’s rough.

It’s a hard road to hoe, doing one-nighters. I remember doing VFWs in Madison, Wisconsin. Those were pretty rough shows.
Compared to America or Europe, God isn’t a big part of our lives here. I don’t know anyone here who goes to church when he’s had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead.
Yes, I would say I had quite a rough time from 1992 to 1996. After the highs of the Eighties, work became slow from around 1987 to around 1997. I was running a small recording studio in Shepherd’s Bush but wasn’t making a great deal from it.
I’m not saying I’m Mr Goody Two Shoes. I’m not. But if you try to rough me up, I’m going to body-slam you. I’m going to do everything I have to do psychologically to tell you that you are not stronger than me.

If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain’t enough!
Fighting comes down to who you are as a person. With B.J. Penn, he has no problems, not a hard upbringing and came up with money or whatever and he’s just a fighter, he enjoys the fight and he refined his skills so I don’t think it necessarily has to be a rough upbringing for guys to be great fighters.
You have to know how to read your lie and take a calculated risk when you hit out of the rough.

I don’t think the competition’s so rough, within the majority of movies made in Hollywood.
I’ve had rough first trimesters. But once you get into the second, it’s fine after that.
