I always want to improve, and I am never satisfied with my performance.
You're always working to improve, and you're always being critiqued on your next performance. It's not about what you've done. There's always room to grow.
I feel like going to class every morning is so humbling. You're always working to improve, and you're always being critiqued on your next performance. It's not about what you've done. There's always room to grow.
Obviously, being an actor I am very self-critical and I will always want to serve the fans, but I've always tried to focus on the positive, and more importantly, on the story.
I have said countless times high performance people are never satisfied with what they do or how they do it! Hence, I am always endeavouring to improve.
A true champion and athlete is never satisfied with their performance. You can always do more and always improve.
I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.
Win or lose or draw, you always go back and critique your performance and say you could have done things better. Even if I put the guy away in one round, I can go back and say I made a lot of mistakes and need to tighten up. But that's the type of person I am. Improve. Improve. Improve. When I lose I come back stronger than ever.
I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what; it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.
I have always tried to improve myself in every practice session. When it comes to playing and preparation, I am as disciplined and dedicated as anyone else.
I am very self-critical and always will be. I think this makes me want to improve, always. But just because I'm self-critical and say what I thought of my performance in a game, it doesn't mean I will bring myself down, ever.
I am not a sentimental or superstitious person, so I don't have any pre-performance rituals. I am a very practical woman. After a performance I am always hopeful that I will lure someone home for a ritual of a more personal nature.
A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.
It is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance.
That's what I've always tried to do. I've always tried to prepare the same. I've always just tried to keep the same routine throughout the season and go out there and try to be consistent on Sundays.
This is something you learn as soon as you walk through the doors at Old Trafford: that you're never better than your last performance. You always have to improve on your last performance.
