Obviously, in football you can study somebody, but at the same time, once you get out there, I think there’s just a natural kind of feel for where you think guys might be or where they’re going to go and knowing beforehand what’s going to happen. It’s just like chess.
Beforehand you think, ‘Oh, changing nappies – I’m going to be up; I need to get sleep for training.’ But when it happens, when you’re there, as soon as you hear a wiggle or a cough or something, you’re up straight away. It doesn’t bother you.

I came from the Groundlings Theatre in L.A., and there, you’re guaranteed to at least try something out in front of an audience.

Bottom up thinkers try to start from experience and move from experience to understanding. They don’t start with certain general principles they think beforehand are likely to be true; they just hope to find out what reality is like.
