I like to put people into situations that are out of their comfort zone and see what happens.
I feel, in my live shows, I can be as dynamic as I want. It’s my comfort zone. When I get in the studio, it’s more of a solitary experience, which can be good creatively.
I love ‘The Twilight Zone,’ the original black and white ones with Rod Serling’s wee bit at the beginning.

My comfort zone has always been in an ensemble-type atmosphere.
I’m mainly a dancer, but I’ve been offered to write songs on albums this year, and that’s really cool. I never thought I’d get to do that. It’s out of my comfort zone, but I loved having that input. It makes you feel more involved, when you have that creative control.
I’m really lucky because I can sleep on planes. I wear an eye mask, I have a book, and I sit down and pass out pretty easily. I know that not everyone can. I think I’m good at it because I travel so much, and for me, being on planes is like a sacred time. It’s the only time to zone out and meditate.
I think it’s so important when you’re playing a character that you can’t judge the person you’re playing at all. It’s a judgment-free zone. You have to just go for it.

My teammates give me a hard time about that all the time, ‘Hey, if you catch the ball and get in an open field, I want you to long jump from the 10 into the end zone.’… I might make it happen one of these days.
You can’t just be one of those guys where the whole league knows what you are and categorizes you as that and you accept that. I want to be one of those guys who expands his zone. Kind of like what Kawhi did.
In life, we should explore options outside our comfort zone.
You know, being the artist and not knowing when you sometimes create a song, you don’t think about whether it’s gonna start controversy or whatever. Sometimes you just write and you’re in the zone.

The freeways of America are like giant veins twisting and turning, rushing life from one zone to the next. The landscape is a giant body just lying there feeling the rumble.
I don’t want to find out what celebrity X, who is a Browns fan, thinks of the zone blitz scheme. I don’t think that’s the sort of thing that I would even ask many people when they come on the show; it’s very obtuse, even if they are an expert on football.
When I decided to become an actor, I realised that every role that we play on screen requires a different kind of prep. I learnt wrestling for ‘Dangal,’ went through an emotional grind for ‘Photograph’ and stepped out of my comfort zone and shed too many inhibitions for ‘Pataakha.’
People always seem to assume that we have a full, back-up support team – make-up, costume and a driver – but usually, in a war zone, there’s only me and the cameraman.

I’m more of the girl who’s always in the friend zone, and I try to help if my other friend wants to get with someone. I can be a bit cheeky and say stuff that embarrasses my friends, but I’m normally the girl who guys like to be friends with, so I become friendly with the guy and then go, ‘Oh, this is my other friend.’
I like the idea of doing something outside my comfort zone.
I got into a bad habit of dropping my elbow and pushing the ball to the plate instead of getting on top of it and using some leverage to get it down in the strike zone or get some depth with the ball.

When you travel to a new country, your spirit has to catch up with you. I love going for a run when I land; it keeps me active and helps my body adjust to the new time zone.

It’s always different for whatever the scene asks for but usually, I listen to music before the scene just to get into the mood, mellow myself out and really put myself into the character’s shoes. I zone out from everything going on around me and just focus on what I have to do. From there, I just let it happen.
