I think an actor is very like a sportsman. You have periods where you're in terrific form. Everything you touch seems to work, and come right. And other times, when you're working really hard, it's okay, but it isn't scintillating.
Joe Montana had bad games in the playoffs against the Giants and Chicago Bears; that doesn't stop us from considering him as possibly the best.

I can't beat guys consistently playing like I'm 5-foot-10.
I was tired of getting last or fifth or sixth. I was tired of falling multiple times in a program. I was tired of competing differently than how I trained. If I was going to do that, why train so hard? I took a step back, and I figured out what I wanted to change about myself.

Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they're not all going to be like Castle Donnington.
You can't be the best player if suddenly you play well and the next day you play badly.

Through 82 games, you're not going to have a perfect season.
Sometimes, I arrive at races more energetic and clear-minded than ever, and then I have a terrible race. And the opposite is also true.
When you struggle winning matches all year and you don't really get into a groove or rhythm, you just can't expect to just come in here and have it click.
You know, every movie you make can't be great, no matter who you are.
No team can play really good in 50 games. During the season, you will not play that well all the time.
