You can be dominant without the ball by trying to move the opposition where you want them to go.
If you want to play dominant football, you need to get the ball, think fast, and play quick combinations in small spaces.
What I say about actors is you always want to find an actor you can play ball with. You throw the ball at them and you want them to throw it back. Your ball playing is a lot better when you play with good ballplayers, like any sport. Every actor I know feels the same way.
You try to make sure you have respect for the opposition but still play to win and play hard cricket.
My teams have always been dominant about having the ball but having the ball to create opportunities. That's always been the clear way of my work.
I always try to stick to the script because I want to respect the writers, and I want to respect the director. But if the director and my fellow actors are okay with me playing with it a little bit, then I definitely want to play with it.
I was a hyper kid, so I didn't want to play baseball and wait for the ball to come to me. I wanted to play a sport where I could go get the ball.
When the opposition has the ball you don't want to chase. You want to stay fresh for when the opportunity comes to score.
When you're a little kid, you want the ball. You don't want to play defense. When you get the ball, basically you can do whatever you want.
I always want to play, and I always want to hold a ball or glove or bat.
My philosophy is to respect the opposition off the field and play it as tough as possible on it.
If you're dominant on one side of the ball, you set yourself up for getting beat if you're not on both sides of the ball.
Every ball matters - if with the last ball the opposition need four to win, and you've gone for 96, can you get that out of your mind and bowl a dot ball and win the game?
I've always just wanted to play ball, that's all. I didn't want to do no interviews, because I didn't want to be bothered with reporters.
Look at KD and Kyrie, and they're going to be ball-dominant. You've got to really recognize that and get the ball where it needs to go.
The Opposition aren't really the Opposition. They're just called the Opposition. But in fact they are the Opposition in exile. The Civil Service are the Opposition in residence.
