On indies it's hard to do, but in rehearsals, you make mistakes in rehearsal. It's really hard rehearsing a play or what rehearsal you get on any movie.

We were deliberately designed to learn only by trial and error. We're brought up, unfortunately, to think that nobody should make mistakes.

We make two mistakes, and then we get the goals against.
