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

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

I think actors should stay grounded and humble and open.

I've gone from being a brilliant captain of a TV soccer team to an average rugby player on a real team. I've gotten so used to ruling the roost and just saying whatever the hell I wanted, and I had to get back to reality.

When you're an actor, you're mollycoddled and you're treated with kid gloves.

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 don't think acting should be all-encompassing. So, when I'm not shooting, I'll go down to Mexico on a spear-fishing trip for a couple of weeks, or I'll go to the Coral Sea, or I'll go to Panama, or wherever.
