I had actually been on tour in Japan and I had my own world tour that I was doing. I was used to doing a show for an hour so I was always learning choreography.

I spent a little time in Germany as a schoolboy learning German and it's a country I knew very well spent a lot of time in. I knew the history very well. I've always wanted to do a piece of work about the post-war period of one sort or another.

I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director the actor I'm working with.

One thing changes every evening: It's the audience and I'm working my magic. I'm always learning from it.

Acting is a life experience. I'm always learning things when I'm making a movie. So the fame part of it is fine when you consider what you get out of this job.

Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles with so many people so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.

Tennis was always sort of a - a learning. It was a vehicle for me to discover a lot about myself. And the things that I sort of discovered at times I not only didn't want to see it for myself but I certainly didn't want millions of people to see it.

Also I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

As I was coming up it always seemed like I was learning. If it wasn't from school it was the 'hood. The influences of the 'hood are very powerful.

I think I'm learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven't always felt very secure as an individual but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before.
