The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't.

I feel like, if the guys can look at me in the huddle and see a calm and collected face, that they're going to relax a little bit.

But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom.

I can tell jokes. I can talk to the audience. I can relax. I can change my songs whenever I want. I can change the tempos. I can change the mood, because I'm in charge.
