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

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

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.

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.

One of the gifts of being an actor is that you get to learn new things see the world through different eyes.

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 dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.
