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.

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

You're dealing immense, acute amounts of fear, which makes the rest of life a little bit easier. You don't sweat the small stuff so much.

Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.

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.
