My strength is my distance. I can swim two-and-a-half soccer fields on one breath.

I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker. I used to race mountain bikes when I was a kid. I did the national circuit for two years.

Coming from Australia and playing rugby, you just think that soccer is a bit soft, but I'll tell you what, it's not. It's rough as guts.

I grew up spear-fishing, so I've always had a breath hold.

Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.

You're dealing immense, acute amounts of fear, which makes the rest of life a little bit easier. You don't sweat the small stuff so much.

Free-diving is all about dealing with anxiety. I've blacked out a few times. I've had big black-outs.

Free-diving is all about being lean, being super-flexible, and having a good breath hold.

Irrationally, I think, Will You Marry Me? Four words. I Want a Divorce. Four words. I would like time to count the letters as well, but there is not time.

The memories of you are dead in my mind, but alive in my heart.

My upbringing has given me sympathy for the idea of isolation and what it is to be a new person in the room, where everyone else has some amount of familiarity and comfort.

My mother was a politician in my formative years.

Children are given us to discourage our better emotions.

Anti-intellectualism has spawned an irrelevant gospel. Today, we share the gospel primarily as a means of addressing felt needs.

[On New York City:] From a dating point of view, it's like a really large rummage sale - lots of strange items, but darned little that you'd want to take home.

Depressions aren't good but the depression mentality is good.

We are talking. It's a shame. What is said is murdered. Our words that will not grow any bigger or any lovelier will wilt inside our bones. Words wither feelings.
