There tends to be a lot of autism around the tech centers… when you concentrate the geeks, you’re concentrating the autism genetics.
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.
I’ve found that I snack less and concentrate better when I chew on a plastic stirrer – the kind that you get to stir your to-go coffee.

If I had a choice as to my perfect career, I would make a couple of films a year and then concentrate on natural history.
