Fencing is a funny sport. Competitive fencing is not really very applicable to the stage world unless you're fighting with a rapier during the Renaissance, you know?

Obviously, swimming is my strength, but I'm also good at fencing.

Fencing and shooting kind of came naturally. From the start, I knew that I had it in me.

I find that fencing and training give me more stamina and help me deal with the craziness of being on the road so much.

In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.

I used to do a lot of fencing in the theater and a lot of horse riding in the early days, so I'm used to it in a way. If you're classically trained like I am, it's a little bit like mother's milk to me. I enjoy it.

A sight game is that I am hurt, but I aim to make you believe I am not even hurt, and with this confidence appearing on my face, I don't panic, otherwise your opponent will know that you are hurt. That's the whole art game in boxing.

I play football like chess. You have to think a lot and anticipate what could happen after you make your move.

Chess is a sport. The main object in the game of chess remains the achievement of victory.

Chess is mental torture.
