I cry a lot, so the last time was no big moment.
The Guardian, The Q&A, The Guardian, 30 January 2021 source ↗
In despair, because of my wife’s illness.
I am not a great crier.
Watching the news. Human life seemed pretty cheap in 2024.
I cry a lot. Especially on planes. What is that about? On a plane, I’ll be in floods at The Good Dinosaur.
A veterinarian.
Like you can do anything.
I wouldn’t change anything about myself. If you asked me 20 years ago, I probably would have had a long list. But I’ve learned to appreciate and love who I am.
I love to entertain. I'm not sure every player sees it that way, but I love the performance aspect of it—to be able to entertain people week after week. Some of the happiest times in my life were spent waiting in that hallway in Melbourne, and walking out into Rod Laver Arena with my earphones in and trying to stay focused and drown out the noise but still feeling the energy of the crowd.
Taking time every day to read the Bible.
I don’t think about my greatest fear.
