The irony is that, coming from a white-collar British background, I tend to play blue-collar Americans!

I love going for a swim. Growing up in England, anywhere with a pool seems like the height of glamour to me.

If you pick up an eighteenth-century play, at the top it says 'The Argument,' and then you have a list of characters, and then you have the play. I was just always struck by that - that, of course, good drama is about conflict.

People need revelation, and then they need resolution.

For me, basketball kind of mirrors life. It sounds deep, but the sport has transformed my personality and my daily coping mechanisms. It has meant a lot.

I remember watching the '96 Olympics. For some reason, I was like 'Oh yeah, I'm going to go to the Olympics some day.' At that time as a kid, I did not know for what sport or really anything.

I'm not the only guy who doesn't have an independent wrestling background. You know, I have a football background, but I also have a wrestling one.

You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.
