The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.

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.
