Americans are analytical in their sports, which are very stop-start, so the numbers tend to add up. That’s why Moneyball works for baseball. It doesn’t work so well for football because it’s a fluid game.
It used to be so important to choose what you were. Gay or straight. Male or female. I think the new generation is more fluid.
The thing with Led Zeppelin songs is that they were never the same. They were very fluid and tight but loose.
I’ve danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it’s all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it’s very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It’s kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts.

I don’t know why we have to put things in boxes of superlatives. That isolates them. Life is fluid, and the minute you start trying to put a line around something, it will deceive you and go away.
When you’re throwing the football the way you want to, you’re not thinking about it. You’re not thinking about your drop or your release point or the trajectory or where your feet are. It’s just coming off your hand exactly the way you want it to, fluid and confident.
