The superlative

for instance, when I do my best work as an actor and this has happened quite a few times, we get to the last day of filming and at the end of the day they go, Okay, that's a wrap.

Future simple

And I'm like, OK, I'll see you tomorrow morning.

They're like, No, no, no, that's a film Wrap the films over.

Wait a minute Like I did Not even I was not seeing the finish line.

The old Bo Jackson doesn't run across the goal line.

He runs across through the end zone and up the tunnel.

You, you're gonna You'll bogey it that you'll bogey 18 if you look at the score card and think, Oh, just one thing.

But if you play where you walk off the 18th like you're going to the next next tee box and they go, No, no, no.

That's when you stay in the process without thinking about what that end is.

It's also, you know, I don't know about you.

It's that long view, not only of life, but also what you're saying and being obsessed with what you've got in front of you.

It's does something that when you get to the proverbial near the proverbial goal line, you don't get tight because you're going past the goal line.

The goal line is not really a destination.

We'll go another 100 yards even though we're on the five sort of mentality.

Andi, I mean those those metaphors and things in my own job of those sports metaphors.

Um, you know, I came into some natural, innate ability to do what I do, but what I really knows about household not prepared people.

So when it is gained my game day and I'm on set, I'm not working.

Then I'm playing because I've done the work to get to that point.

Yeah, I think that such a critical point is, you know, you talk about the long view and e always talk about the long game because, like, the reality is is that I'm trying to do this.

I'm trying to do this for a long, long time.

You know, 15 years of my life, my career, but also the seasons long even.

Just so you know, I know I'm not sure about your Washington team, but I know the Seahawks five and, uh oh, but the reality is, is that there's so much more ahead and I'll even go back to one of my highest moments in one of my lowest moments in my career.

I'll get the whole of Lombardi Trophy and that feeling of I never forget it.

Supposed to be snowing in New York City and on the moon sitting right there, and it just it's like, man, there's there's no snow around.

Joe Nemeth walks out in this mink coat and he flips the coin toss and Peyton Manning and Champ Bailey a walking across them like man, I'm in the Super Bowl.

I'm here, you know And sure enough, like every single movement, every single thing just went our way.

Next thing you know, we won the Super Bowl holding on trophy, great feeling.

I'm already thinking about the next moment I'm already thinking about Okay, what's next then?

You know, we get have a great season again.

You get to the Super Bowl again and get all the way down to the one yard, then boom.

Yeah, it feels like it's like the whole world has changed.

And in that moment, right there as I was walking towards the sidelines as things didn't go the way we wanted to, the reality of was I realized in that moment God's got something so much more in store.

But I'm not gonna get stuck on this moment because that that can change somebody's life forever.

So, to me, it's really how am I gonna propel and use this like I used the trophy before.

And when I use this to motivate me to keep going and keep being the best version of myself and everything else and even my language and how I speak in remaining neutral in the midst of it all was such a critical part.

Overcoming and being honestly where I am today and your nine and sitting here and being able to feel confident enough and and and feel that where I know I'm the best version of myself today and I eat us back then, you know, I heard it's a tough thing to have that sort of awareness, to be that conscious and to be that patient in those moments to trust.

You know, trust is a big word trust as you said that God's got bigger plans and longer plan.

Hey, this is not this moment does not define me, just like last year.

Winning it is not my definition, you know, I'm in the process.

I know I had a similar feeling when I won the best actor award.

Really, It was a great, similar great, seminal moment in my career, but I never had the I didn't.

I don't know if I worked on not having that feeling to get to that point by through through habits.

I just never even the even the best times, just like some of my worst times, I never really felt in them like, Oh, this is it.

If it's something like winning the greatest trophy Lombardi Trophy or the Oscar or the pick that goes the other way and you lose or my dog on Dad passing away.

It was always life's always felt like a verb to May and whatever.

I'm whatever my career, what I'm working on feels like.

And if you know when you say the long term, you wanna do it 15 years, you know, 15 more years who knows the technology, Maybe do it longer than that, You know what I mean?

And to keep that view, I think that's a good thing, Thio that that people could better understand.

And I know I try to work on it much as I can.

Yeah, I think about two is you know, you talk about, you know, one of the best actor and everything else.

And you know what is what is what is that process like when you know you've nailed the scene?

That feeling of throwing a touchdown, you know, the balls in the air.

And even in the process of movie, which movies take forever to do so as you talked about a little bit earlier.

But when you feel like you've left it all out on the line and you did what you had to do, you know, to becoming the best actor, walk us through that.

The process of that, But also the feeling of you know what?

Before even any awards come out before anything comes out.
