I never dreamt of the Olympics growing up. It's not something that I watched on TV; it's not something my parents ever talked about.
I was helped by the fact that my dad is a cricket fanatic and that my three brothers and two sisters all played. It's just part of our family.
I've always been athletic my entire life and loved sports.
I actually used to compete at show-jumping when I was a young'un.
I started off playing rugby league as well as union. I switched between fly-half and wing, but I preferred to play fly-half. I liked to be at the heart of everything. I liked to be involved.
Growing up in Finland, ice hockey was the main sport. But I never played that. I went with footy. I never had any other hobbies.
I was a dancer until I was 19. I never had to worry about working out or what I ate. So I've really had to train myself to get down to the gym.
I just grew up in Ajax with all the players from Ajax. We only had two or three foreigners, so everyone knew each other and knew the system.
Football is generally a working-class sport, and because of the fact I went to private school and was brought up slightly differently, people think that makes me a different person.
I grew up in a family that played golf, and my brother was much better than me, so I kind of put that aside. I had to be good at something other than golf.
