I felt a lot better. I was more relaxed. I was finally able to get in on him for that five-point move.

I won't be as nervous (for the quarterfinals). When you're out there wrestling, you don't always know if you're making mistakes here or there.

My throw was the turning point in the match. It gave me the momentum I needed.

It was nerve-wracking. Now I have a lot of time to regroup. You know, it's the first round and you go out there like a ball of fire. But that's not how I want to wrestle.

Frankly, I think I'm marvelous in rehearsal! Then you turn the camera on, and it gets stiff and tight. And then you trudge back to your trailer feeling sad. That's been my experience of film acting.

And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
