I try to be fussy about the parts I play. I think that's quite prudent, it means you're stretching different muscles, and you're scaring yourself by doing something which is out of your comfort zone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really feel comfortable unless I'm slightly uncomfortable. I don't want to play myself all the time.
I think it's important to stretch as you get older, but I try to do basically all the things I did when I played, except I can't do them as well and as much.
I've heard people say it looks as if I don't care and I've certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don't think I can change it. I know I'm working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn't always look that way.
I like to stretch my acting muscles.
You are always talking about yourself and tennis and how you are feeling. I try to avoid it when I don't have to.
I do think that there are certain parts, if you are lucky enough to play them, that are bigger than you, and they stretch you. I don't think you become a bigger person, but you develop certain muscles you didn't have before.
Every time I am not playing, I am training harder to keep myself fit.
I have to be stretched in some way. There's not enough things that come my way that I fancy.
If I'm not nervous, if I don't have at least a little bit of the same self-doubt and anxious feelings I had when I started playing, then it will be time for me to go on. I must have that tension.
I love stretching myself musically.
