Like, my wife will look at the two fellas doing stuff and, like, wrestling like little bear cubs, and she's like, what's going on? I was like... They're just playing. Getting it out.

And I think it wasn't always constructive when I was a kid because I got in so many fights when I was young. Before I was 10 years old, I couldn't tell you how many fights I'd been in.
