I always know in advance what I've got coming up. Preparation's important to me - it helps my performance.
Just hearing somebody's voice in center field, it helps our guards out to know where they need to go, when the screen is coming, when the back door is coming, when the flare is coming. When different things like that happen and we're talking, it helps us all out in the long run.
I'm coming from a place where I have seen a different way to handle it, or a slightly different way to go through what is happening, that gives me some perspective. So I think it always helps. It always helps to have someone who has traveled the world or seen a different way to do something. That helps give you perspective.
For us as writers, it's really important to have songs we believe in - even before sometimes we shoot a scene. If we have a song that's so perfectly designed for a scene on 'Rescue Me,' we'll play it on loud speakers during the shooting. It helps the cameraman and it helps the director, and it helps the actors know what the feel is.
It's a long time coming as far as the work that I put in. Now I know that I got the stamp but what counts is what comes behind. That's what's really important. Upholding that stamp and not only keeping the energy my way but also spreading that energy out to other artists that are coming up on the West Coast.
I think it helps me. You know, I've got two more meets under my belt, and that's always a good thing.
The important thing to me is being productive. It helps me feel good as a person, helps me feel strong, helps me feel like I'm doing something throughout my days.
It's a big moment, a heart-rate moment. It's all in the preparation for me. Watching the various takers, I can prepare as best I can. I can prepare, too, with my own team-mates - they practise, which, in turn, helps me practise trying to save penalties. I want as much confidence as I can in the preparation and then take it from that.
High performance leaders know they have to breathe out when they are coming up for air.
My parents always wanted me to know why eating healthfully was important to overall performance, probably to drown out my whining for junk food.
I do know that I can take a punch. I've been punched in the face three times. That's, I think, a really important thing to know about yourself. It helps you in life. It helps you be brave when you know you can take a punch. I'm a lover, not a fighter. But, God bless me, I can take a punch.
Preparation is really important for actors; they need to know who they are, where they're from, and the experiences up to the point that we make the film.
I think, of course, when you are coming somewhere, when you know you are playing good tennis, it always helps you.
The only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. That's what you've got to do.
I know the focus on my performance or the team's performance is on the pitch. We've got to do what we have to do on the pitch. What comes with it off, it doesn't bother me too much.
For me, the performance was always playing different people. And so when I got older, was no longer the romantic leading movie star, it became more and more interesting for me, the characters I played, you know?
There's got to be a backbone, there's got to be a skeleton to the whole way I perform, but you never want to hit the same note twice during a performance, I think. I think it's always got to be fresh so it doesn't bore me, and I always want to go out on edge.
