Free-diving is all about dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.

I don't think acting should be all-encompassing. So, when I'm not shooting, I'll go down to Mexico on a spear-fishing trip for a couple of weeks, or I'll go to the Coral Sea, or I'll go to Panama, or wherever.
