I learned how to handle myself in the kitchen - where to stand and how to be out of people's way and how to function like a machine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things.
I learned how to be a learner. When you get in a job, the tendency is to say, 'I've got to know it. I've got to give direction to others. I'm in this job because I'm better and smarter.' I always took a different view, that the key was to identify the people who really knew and learn from them.
I learnt the theory of movement, which I still teach sometimes. I was very, very ambitious to learn a skill.
I was a little, uh, incorrigible as a kid, so the kitchen was a good place to give me structure and balance. It taught me hard work, but then I grew to love it.
My biggest thing is, I'm learning what it's like to carry myself in a personal way and also a professional way: how I can be a leader and do multitasking.
I learned how to play the drums. When we were in pre-production, when we were still in LA, I had a couple of drum lessons and then some in Toronto. I got the one beat down and that was it.
I learned to focus on what's real rather than imagined; on not letting feelings drive the bus; on being courageous and honest; on putting my total effort into something and not worrying about the result.
I learned life from some good teachers.
I learned to discipline myself to do things I didn't want to do.
I learned about machinery, I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans.
