Before a game, I prefer R&B and stuff that calms me down, like the Weeknd.
We have little bags we pack specifically for touch-up makeup if you're chosen for the top 16. I knew I had to sneak in my banana because nothing calms my nerves like it! I don't know if it's the potassium, but I need it before I get on stage because it always calms me down.
I had to listen to the classical music because it calms me down, calms my nerves down.
I love listening to music in general before I compete. It's something that calms me down, and meditating and breathing before I get up there to calm all my nerves.
I remember the first time my friend Colin Lewis, who used to be a judge with me on a show on MuchMusic called 'disBAND,' told me, 'I think I just found your next favorite artist to adore.' He sent me The Weeknd, and he was completely spot on. The Weeknd is literally on every playlist I have.
I like someone I can have fun with and who can be more laid-back than I am, because it calms me down.
If I'm on an away game or on my way to the stadium or on a bus ride, I listen to more mellow music. Laid-back, chill, like The Weeknd, Drake, something like that.
When I sit down with my team before an engagement, sometimes they are horrified as I say I don't want to read the biographical brief because I prefer to prise information out of people. It becomes like a game. The stories that come out, I could write a book about.
I started to do yoga. It helps for the body to be more flexible but also for the mind - it calms me down a lot, so I really like to do that.
All the stuff I love most in game storytelling is never the big-picture stuff; it's the stuff that feels like curlicues, stuff that's just there because it's a game and because you can do it.
When you're trying to force things in a script, it seems like it's getting somewhere, but it isn't real or interesting. All the bad material you've written becomes an albatross around your neck. So I really don't like writing a lot of bad stuff, I prefer to just keep narrowing it down to stuff I think is solid.
I like to smile. I smile even when I'm nervous since it calms me down and shows my friendliness.
I am a fairly physical guy I stay in shape and do a lot of karate and that kind of stuff. I prefer to do my own stunts if it's possible. I'm not jumping off burning buildings or something, but rolling around and getting knocked down and stuff like that I get a kick out of.
Working in a garden calms me down.
Stroking my dog calms me down.
Listening to music that I hate calms me down.
I vent my anger in the gym, and it calms me down.
