Once I'm on stage, the energy of the crowd wipes my nerves away.

I wouldn't say that I relax and enjoy anything. But I think my pessimism helps. I never really expect anything good to happen, so when it does, it's a nice surprise.

Personally, I think I am much calmer under incredibly stressful situations, and I've learned to deal with pressure and nerves, which is key to being a performer of any caliber.

The two moments that I felt the most nervous in my entire life were when I first had reading rehearsal for 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' and when I was at the Academy Awards ceremony.

Now, I'm so relaxed that I have to make myself nervous. I feel better when I'm second and third guessing myself over everything. I play with the mice in my head, all the time.

There's a ton of nerves for every fight I've been in; it doesn't matter if it was my debut.

I like those crisis moments - if you're on top of it and don't get pulled under by panic and fear, it's a very bonding thing.

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

I feel like whatever you've done in your career, good or bad, it's nothing but preparation for the big events to come.
