“It's important to be right physically.” — Diego Costa Quote

It's important to be right physically.

Goals are what count for me. It's not about a battle with defenders. Fighting hard, giving everything and working hard on the field you have to combine with the goals you score. It doesn't matter if defenders want to battle with me or not; I will just be trying to do my job as well as I possibly can.

When a game comes around, that's the time to be serious. During the week, the training sessions are serious, but away from there, you have to relax and switch off.

Do I enjoy the aggression of English football? No. I like to play football. I like to score goals. I like to do things well.

When we're at the end of The Rite of Spring or of a Bruckner symphony, I want people to feel the music physically.

You don't just have to be skilled and talented at tennis, but you have to be so physically strong.

You can't steal every scene. There are scenes in which you need to sit back and do a lot less, verbally, physically.

Gorillas remind me of my father. He was a very big, physically strong man but also very sensitive.

I love doing characters that challenge me. I'd love to do something that requires me to change physically or learn a skill.
