I can remember sport being at the centre of my family since I was a baby.

Form is temporary, whether it's good or bad.

The reason I came to London is to become a better footballer, to not stay in my comfort zone. It's given me everything I wanted.

I still get up and watch AFL games early in the morning.

I'm really glad now that I was in that AFL team because it gave me a lot of skills and a different mentality to some girls growing up.

I conquered my fears and did the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. It was a little scary, but once you are right up the top you forget about all of that.

I love Melbourne for the coffee scene and the range of sports. Being a sports-lover, it's a great place to visit.

When I was growing up, I never thought about being the best in the world. But when you rub shoulders with national team players from other countries, you realize they have that mentality.

I loved getting down and being gritty.

To play in front of Perth fans is special. They know me on a different level, as the hometown kid who plays for fun. They see me as who I am.

New Jersey is a beautiful place.

Any time you go to Wembley it's an important game, so I love playing there.

I'm a bit of a risk taker.

When I first changed to football it wasn't exciting for me, I was taken away from something I loved, and that sucked.

I always said when I was a kid I'd be retired by 21, which is insane.

I think I just have an AFL brain.

I'm always having a laugh, whether it's the right time or the wrong time.

That's the kind of team-mate I am. I like to keep things on a lighter note. I play my best football when I'm having fun and that's what it's really all about - when the emotion gets the better of me I can fade out of the game.

When we get a bit too stressed out that's when we play bad and get a bit too nervous.

I don't love talking about myself.
