For exams, I swotted so hard because I couldn't bear the thought of not coming first.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I cannot tell people who are struggling that I come first. I just cannot.
I came second in a 1,500-metre running race at school. I knew I couldn't have come first, so second was my version of first.
When I was coming up, I practiced all the time because I thought if I didn't I couldn't do my best.
I was at the pinnacle of my career one day and the next day I was put out to pasture. I felt like a race horse with a broken leg.
That's right, fall in one pit and start over from the beginning! Well, thankfully my buddies practically tied me to my chair until I put in extra lives and I'm glad they did.
I've always been that way where, if something doesn't work out the first time, I won't try to beat a dead horse.
Horses teach you patience and how to do things the right way so you can get the right result.
I didn't have a clue where I was going on my first lap of practice.
During the rehearsal process I got thrown off the horse.
Sometimes you don't prepare much. I mean, when I did 'Lonesome Dove' way back I rode horses day and night for like three or four months, and that got me ready for that.
