Going home to Australia, it's good to get home, but it's kind of bad too because you get used to that way of life again and you have to come back to America.

You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.

A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.

In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.

I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.

Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.

I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come... Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is what I want to do.

I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.

What I would say is I've only had one injury in my NBA career, that was probably was because my core wasn't strong enough, when I had a stress fracture in my back.

The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.

These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.

Ignorance is a horrible thing. But arrogance, the belief that knowing a little more than the ignorant makes you wise, is more horrible still.

It is painful to see someone suffering what you must be suffering- watching someone you love be so cruelly hurt.

The United States has many great diplomats, but there is truly no better ambassador for our country than our beautiful First Lady, Melania. Thank you, Melania.

If there was a simple formula for success and it was easy to follow, everyone would be doing it.

I suppose when I started out I would have liked to have been the darling of critics or something, but everybody wants to be loved and admired.

The legendary Buddhist flower udumbara is believed to blossom once every three millennia! What about the Flower of Peace? In every ten million years?

I'm a firm believer that we all meet up in eternity Just hope the big man show me some courtesy.

I feel like I could be likened to an old hound circling on a rug for the last five years.

Any time I have seen someone accomplishing something magnificent, they have been a monomaniac with a mission. A single-minded individual with a passion.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.
