Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.

Actors push pause on their lives, fly to foreign countries, invest so much and work so hard and get so intimate with a group of people from a crew and cast, and then they say 'that's a wrap' and you push play on your life and there's a middle part of the sandwich, or a tunnel or bridge that you have to kind of walk back over before you can hit play.
Defense not only wins games; it's what gets you on the floor at every level you play at. Once you get to high school and get to college, if you don't play defense, you won't play.

If they are going against me, then I have a game plan for getting out.
