To me, torture would be, "I can't think what to write in the next sentence. I'm stuck." Torture would be if you didn't have the next idea.
You know when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea: have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!
With comedy, you never know until you put it in front of an audience. You shoot it and a year later you have no idea if it's going to work. And then you get the response. It's great when it's good.
I think I meant that, given the circumstances of my childhood, I had the illusion that it's easier to be alone. To have your relationships be casual and also to pose as a solitary person, because it was more romantic. You know, I was raised on the idea of the ramblin' man and the loner.
He never complicates a desire by overthinking it, unlike Mirabelle, who spins a cocoon around an idea until it is immobile.
…when the person beside you is making you alert and keen and the idea of being with anyone else is not imaginable…
It's funny that some ideas start with a little "What if?" and then suddenly you're spending a million dollars to shoot the scene and hoping that it works.

I just brush it off and try to make a joke about it. Over the years it's been interesting.
I'm happy with how the day has gone and we've made positive steps forward each time I've gone out. My lap times have also been good and consistent from the outset, so it's good to be on the pace and feeling back at full health and fitness to really 'ride' the bike.
It takes time though for owners and trainers to invest that additional purse money to start cultivating that better racing product.
Right now we're teaching them that the game is fun. If they learn it's fun, they always go back to it again in clinics and in schools.
I would have felt a little funny if another actor was playing this role.
