"What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing."

"I wear black skinny-fit jeans - I can't get away from them. It's funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages, then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great."

"My brother and I had a really privileged relationship with my parents... They treated us like adults."

"I love being at home, being with friends and family. I'm of European stock, brought up in Australia. I'm a passionate guy. I just love life."
