world computer whole-life
My whole life has been instinctual for me. I wouldn't do well in the computer world.
underrated felt
I've always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience.
trying be-true-to-yourself tricky
You can spend your life trying to be popular, and that's a tricky business. You can just try to be true to yourself.
character differences may
There's actually a big difference between story and character. A great story doesn't make a great movie. A great script, which defines its moments and characters can become a great movie. You can make a movie that makes a lot of money and it may or may not have great story or great characters.
play distracted persons
I've always been distracted when somebody is coming after me and saying, "You're the only person who can play this part."
mistake careers listening
I've been evolving in my stunt career Stunts have always had their place, and I have to measure them now. I've done things where, if I make a mistake, I could die. You really need to look at each thing. That usually is a mechanical failure. So, I have gone from doing everything, to listening and saying, "Maybe I shouldn't do this."
want sometimes
What is it you want? That's a question that we all get posed sometimes internally and sometimes externally.
player coaching done
I'm a coach's coaching player. I like to be on the floor. So, if the coach tells me what to do out on the floor, I can get it done. I'm really comfortable being directed.
chance be-good
I wouldn't do the movie unless I thought it had a chance to be good.
dream views people
I feel like I've been able to live a dream life, but my view of things is absolutely inside behavior about how I behave and how I count on other people behaving.
strong believe people
I've had moments in my life where it was all out on the table. Everything I had. I'm okay with that, because I had a strong belief that what I was doing other people could believe in it, too, if I can get it just right.
sports player mad
I actually play sports better when I'm mad. Some players don't play better when they're mad. They lose their sense of where they're at. I have a tendency to do better when I'm under pressure.
writing should should-i
I don't read as much as I'd like. I've been writing a lot. I've been doing a lot of music, but I don't read as much as I should. I just don't.
ideas emotion good-ideas
A good idea is something like an emotion, you just can't keep it in.
