Physical pain is my friend. I pursue it every night for four hours.
I want to exit from this sport with my head intact.
I mean, football is a violent sport.
Of course I want to keep playing; that's the best thing for any footballer. But I'm looking forward to not having to put my body through the pain, I have to say.
I'm not in this sport to take punishment.
I just feel like it's my job to take care of my body. I play a contact sport, 99.9 percent injury rate. As far as being injury-prone or getting hurt, it's going to happen. But it's my job to take care of my body, come week in and week out.
I never thought acting would be my life. I only started doing it because I needed something to occupy my weekends after I dislocated my knee and couldn't play sport.
Even when I'm back home, I find the flat parts of the course tougher. Because it's flat, I feel it more in my knees.
