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

I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come... Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is what I want to do.

This is my job and I respect it enough to concentrate on it.

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

Going home to Australia, it's good to get home, but it's kind of bad too because you get used to that way of life again and you have to come back to America.

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

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

I'm not a fan of baseball really.

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

I'm not super-athletic.

I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.

In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.

Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.

The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.

The public's got it right, a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.

The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.

These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.

What I would say is I've only had one injury in my NBA career that was probably was because my core wasn't strong enough, when I had a stress fracture in my back.

Winning the Rookie of the Year would be nice but making the playoffs would be even nicer for me.

You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.

There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.

We cannot and will not ban the creation of violent video games. But, we can prevent the distribution of these disturbing games to children, where their effects can be negative.

I just want to fit in and win games for my team.

I think I am too interested in my own ideas to copy anyone else's, but I find that other people's imagery, the flow of language in the outside world, games with words, and ideas about relationships are all most important to me.

As the days went on, I didn't mind the games. In fact, I looked forward to them. That was the easiest part of all. I couldn't wait to get to the ballpark I'd be the first one there and I was willing to do anything. I think that's why the veterans liked me.

No, I do not want to sacrifice four days for two games. My time is too valuable to do that.

In this drawing we just let our imagination run wild. We visualized Superman toys, games, and a radio show - that was before TV - and Superman movies. We even visualized Superman billboards. And it's all come true.

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

The Games are just a nice, positive way to build friendships, camaraderie and, of course, self-esteem. Plus, the Games are a great opportunity for people to participate in sports who normally wouldn't.

Video games are so popular these days, getting the opportunity to star in one is something special. More people should do it.

South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.

When I signed a contract, I was here to play 162 games.

I spent my whole life trying to play the games males play.

For too long the world has failed to recognise that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are about fine athletics and fine art.

What that means initially is that you have alot of products that are only slightly better games in the same genre on another machine - and the titles that really take advantage of the machine come along later.

People never knew we were poor, but out of that poverty came the most incredible inventions - board games, recipes... we never stopped inventing.

Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn't want to do because the film was very theoretical - the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else.

The more games I will play, the faster I will be back on a top spot in the world rankings.

I'd been ready too, because before Olympic Games, I wasn't compete in big competition like, World Championship, like European Championship. I just competed in national competition.

I'll win more games playing everyday in the outfield than I will pitching every fourth day.

Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.

No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games.

This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.

The Olympics were great, because you had to make the team, and then go to the games. Now, I don't know, these guys today don't want to do anything like that.

I was this guy who'd been racing around down there, on that field in 1999, running straight over people, scoring tries, winning games, having fun. And I ended up so sick I couldn't even run past a little baby.
