Anytime you're playing with a team that's losing, the main guy is going to take a lot of the heat.
I was my high school football team's captain, not because I was the guy who scored the most touchdowns, but the guy who was in the midst of every play.
A guy that's going to do all of the dirty work, that guy that is willing to defend anyone and do the little things and not really care about all of that other stuff. I think every championship team needs that.
The main character is always, you know, this blond-haired, blue-eyed guy who's the high school quarterback or the star of the basketball team. That's all I wanted to be, really, truly. I definitely was not that.
I respect and love every team and cheer for every team and hope every team in Washington, D.C., do well just like they do for us.
It's a war of wills out there on the court. You have to have a stronger will than your opponent, and every guy on your team has to feel that same way against the guy he's guarding.
I learned this lesson very quickly when I came into the NBA: Almost all the media and accolades go to the No. 1 guy. But if you're building a team, the most important player is the No. 2 guy. Because if the No. 2 guy wants to be the No. 1 guy, you have a major problem.
And I'm, whether I want it or not, a front figure for the team, a guy that talks about how the team is doing and represents the team.
A team can't work when a guy puts himself in front of a team. I have yet to be on a team like that.
You see, the Mets are losers, just like nearly everybody else in life. This is the team for the cab driver who gets held up and the guy who loses out on a promotion because he didn't maneuver himself to lunch with the boss enough. It is the team for every guy who has to get out of bed in the morning and go to work for short money on a job he does not like. The Yankees? Who does well enough to root for them, Laurence Rockefeller?
Every guy should have a fantasy sports team.
My main thing over the years is to try to get on a team and be on a team that wins games.
If your heart is bigger than the biggest guy on the team, then you're the biggest guy on the team.
When one guy undermines the other, it only causes trouble, and the team isn't successful. It's very important for both of us to accept our role and help the team. One guy can get hot, and if that's Alex, I'll support him and help any way I can.
I call a spade a spade. If you're doing things the wrong way, I'm going to let you know regardless if you're the max-contract guy on the team or the two-way guy on the team.
Alan Rickman has a huge presence in the Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer and takes an enormous amount of space with no effort. I wanted somebody to leave behind a strong impact and be a threat for Grenouille. When Alan takes to the screen, we immediately know there's an intelligent, instinctive and powerful force, so if he's pursuing our main guy then our main guy is in trouble.
