Recently I've been doing risottos. Some of them have been amazing. Some of them not all of them.
It's amazing that for actors mostly it's a risk to attach yourself to a film that you don't know whether or not it's going to even be made and if you sign on in doing so who else is going to be in the movie with you.
As a kid who wasn't into sports at school I felt almost alienated at times whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.
If my kids are doing well then my life is going pretty well. And if my kids aren't doing well it doesn't matter how the other elements of my life are. It's kind of amazing to have a context like that. This is really wonderful.
I finish so many books it's amazing. I'm also doing Rosetta Stone learning some French.
When I'm doing a film I love getting together after work with my costars. But we get back to L.A. and I'm like 'I don't want to go to a club with you dude. I mean I think you're rad and if you want to come play Scrabble with me that's amazing.'
I'm an actor so sometimes there are moments where I think about everything that's happening and I want to cry. I'm doing what I love and I will be doing it for a very very long time - and it's amazing. A lot of people don't get to do that.
If you get half a million at a certain stage you probably will get 4 million people if they are able to hear it. The touring thing is unbelievable. It really is amazing from what we did the last tour even to what we are doing now.
To be honest everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that if I didn't have time off I wouldn't be able to focus on.
If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don't think anything of personalities or emotional conflicts or of money or of family distractions it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5 000 steps.
