When you meet someone, ask about what hobby they have, not what they do. People always ask me about cooking, but I prefer to talk about tennis or boxing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of my hobbies involve athletics and outdoor activities. I'm willing to learn about anything and converse and pick people's brains, and I ask people to do the same. I'm into learning anything new and trying new stuff.
I love to talk about sports. I love sports; it's just something that's in my nature.
I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting. Talking with animal behaviorists or with someone who likes to sail, that's interesting. Information is interesting to me. But talking for the sake of talking, I find that quite boring.
You see people on the street, talking to themselves, and you're like, 'What are they talking about?' I'm interested in that.
It's nice to have other hobbies, other than golf. I've played football, I play tennis. I enjoy doing things other than golf, and poker is one of them.
I'm very comfortable discussing my personal life, because it's so boring.
I like to be asked about the projects I'm working on. I like to be asked about the books I'm reading, the things I'm interested in, what's exciting me right now, or even politics. Sometimes that's fun.
I love to talk about cooking and recipes, but I love as much talking about how food and cooking can change the world.
I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.
I like to talk about food, ingredients, and how to adapt recipes. It's a dialogue.
