Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you're entertaining people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Boxing, in the most general terms, is a poor man's sport. All you have is your hands to make a living.
In order to understand the mindset of a boxer, I needed to become a boxer myself.
Boxing is a noble sport.
Boxing's a sport that gives you licence to act like an idiot, I think.
Boxing is a lot of preparation and then improvising, so there are parallels to being an actor.
It takes a certain type of man to become a boxer, to fight for a living. To be able to have the confidence to hit another man, to control your fears. You must overcome the psychical aspect and believe in the art, the discipline of the sport. You need to study. You need to be smart.
As a boxer, you have to put risk in to get to another level.
If there's anything a public servant hates to do it's something for the public.
Don't even think of acting as a profession unless not doing it would cause you to sicken and waste away.
Boxing's not a career for anyone: it doesn't last long enough to be a career.
