When you're an actor, you're mollycoddled and you're treated with kid gloves.

My strength is my distance. I can swim two-and-a-half soccer fields on one breath.

Acting has always been my passion. It's always been my love, and I've always done it, since I was a kid.

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.

I think actors should stay grounded and humble and open.

I've gone from being a brilliant captain of a TV soccer team to an average rugby player on a real team. I've gotten so used to ruling the roost and just saying whatever the hell I wanted, and I had to get back to reality.

Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.
