swimming thinking two
When I was a swimmer and I would lose a heat in something I was doing whether it backstroke or breaststroke, were two of my most strongest strokes, I would look at how whoever it was that won and beat me and think, "What did they do? What were... What were the qualities that they had that I can incorporate into my swimming to make me better?"
fans want next
If there's someone that I just wan to work with in the future, I set a general meeting and I say, "I'm a really big fan. I want to meet you. I'd love to collaborate with you someday and hopefully you'll remember that for the next time you have something that I could be right for."
way life-is unfolding
There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.
dream thinking choices
I think we have a choice every single day in how we want to live our life. You wake up and you make your choice of what you want to do with your day that's going to help you achieve your dream.
want actors achieve
There's so much I want to do as an actor. I feel like there's so much more that I want to achieve and that I can achieve.
order ideas moments
You have to be precisely in the moment in order to box. And I just love that. I just love the idea of right now we're here, be here.
blow thinking safety
I think what's great about that relationship between an actor and a Director is you have to really blow away all your thing, the safety things that you put up.
profound way directors
I feel like I've had a really great intense relationship with every single Director I've ever worked with. I can't say there's one that hasn't been deep and profound in its own way.
vices collaboration vice-versa
What I love about making movies is that it's a collaboration. It's one of the most rewarding things, to create something and have someone show you something that you didn't see, and vice versa.
growth sitting uncomfortable
My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.
years death-penalty penalties
I'm very glad that [the death penalty] hasn't existed for many years in the U.K.
doing-what-you-love what-you-love ifs
You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?
dream teacher school
I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there
i-love-you thinking littles
I took 'P.S. I Love You' thinking it was going to be a little funny, and I ended up crying every day on that film.
