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

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'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 on a boat, 15 nautical miles off the coast and you're with a bunch of fishermen, they don't give two shits about who you are.

I grew up spear-fishing, so I've always had a breath hold.

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

Every audition, I still get nervous. I still get sweaty palms. I don't think that ever goes away. You just get accustomed to it.
