"I always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics."

Acting is a bit like being an athlete. You spend all your time getting ready to do something for two minutes. All the things that made my career in the movies happen took two or three minutes, which is the time that it takes for a 'take'. In that time, something happens. That's what people know you for, just like someone running the hundred metres.
