I work through teams. It's the only way I know how to work.

While working as a team, you push yourself forward and move outside the boundaries. It's a great thing.

When I'm playing a team sport, it's not about one individual, it's about everyone, from me to the other 23 people who were there, to all the support staff who've worked very hard behind the scenes.

It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player.

I tend to be a lot more honest and transparent with employees than most bosses are. But I've had people tell me - even those who love working with me - that I'm terrifying, which is hard for me to imagine.

I'm a very direct person just generally.

When I work with other people, I try to make up for their shortcomings with my strengths, and I let others make up for my flaws with their strengths. I try to co-operate with people around me when working in a group. I like to enhance team spirit on set. I try to get everyone involved in the action.

I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.
