I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.

I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.

It's definitely different in the States. Americans are much different people compared to us. We're much more laid back. I itch to get back to Australia every summer because it's so fast paced there and so stressful.

I was struggling at Rookie Camp to be quite honest with you. Basically, it was a week of being locked down like in jail for me. I would say about 50 percent of it was useful. The most challenging part of it was off the court. I mean, man we were just sitting there at times. We had meetings from about 10 a.m. in the morning to about 10 at night and you can't get a workout in at all.

I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.

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

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