The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of - I wouldn't call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

I want to make sure we are presenting to the South Australian people a Government that is open and accountable. I want to make sure that we maintain public confidence in government at all levels.

In addition to higher pay, federal government employment is far more secure than private-sector employment.

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important.

I came at age in the '60s, and initially my hopes and dreams were invested in politics and the movements of the time - the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement. I worked on Bobby Kennedy's campaign for president as a teenager in California and the night he was killed.
