Andrew Bogut

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.

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

I'm not super-athletic.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
