'Silence Of The Lambs' was not something people expected me to do.
I had no intention of being an actor.
If you had told me when I was starting out that I would be coming down to Nashville, kind of weaving in and out of the country scene, I never would've thought that in a million years.
No, I always wanted to be a singer. It was kind of funny that I took this road, started acting, then-almost ten years later-in Wayne's World people finally got to see me sing. And everyone thought it was dubbed in.
I never hid my move to Real Madrid was almost done... my fate changed, and I arrived at Barcelona instead.
If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of Jenson Button,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.
In my wildest dreams I never thought - well, I never thought I'd work.
I could have easily never worked again after 'Precious.' I could be back at my receptionist job and no one would be surprised, but I'm having a very crazy little career that no one thought would happen. Although that was never the plan.
Had anyone told me that I was going to have a career in business, I would have said, 'No way.'
This is totally unexpected. I thought I'd be in the NBA or the NFL. I never thought baseball. It's kind of like a surprise. I'm happy it happened.
It's been a twisty-turny path for me. I was studying to be a history professor, and then I left that, went to film school, and tried to be like my heroes, like, Spike Lee and Hal Hartly.
I wasn't meant to be an attorney, but I was meant to go to law school.
I came to acting in a very circuitous way.
My dream when I was at Barca was to play at Camp Nou and I did - just not wearing the shirt I'd expected when I was little.
I actually started acting because I couldn't dance.
I never wanted to be an actor. It was just something that happened.
I did everything the wrong way round. I started in an odd place, with the wrong skill set and arguably worked backwards. I began my television career in Hong Kong, making longer format films from around Asia, then I went to the other extreme - presenting local London news.
I did a geography degree, and if you told me whilst I was ignoring my geography degree revision in order to watch another episode of '24' that one day I wouldn't need that geography degree and I'd actually be in '24,' I'd have been quite pleased, I think.
Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
I never in a million years would have thought I would end up with Golden State.
It's only by coincidence I started working with my father - all because of King Abdullah's decision not to grant my promotion. God bless his soul, he did me a favor.
My ambition, a long time ago, was to be a film music writer. A compromise then was to be the guy who wrote songs for a band and played slide guitar. Then the singer didn't turn up for an audition, and I was the only one who knew the words. That was it - bingo! Life took a different course.
The very rough story is this: Melbourne boy, out of both my parents' houses at a young age, lived with my grandmother, drama teacher twisted me into doing this TV thing that I thought my mates were doing, too.
I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.
