I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.
I truly don't have any formula for the choices I make.
I've always belonged to the street, and I always will. It's in my DNA.
Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded, but it's not like it's a bible.

Celebrity is very weird.

I don't know how to drive a car.
Every time I wake up, I see myself like somebody beat me up.
I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.

There is no good side to celebrity.
