I don't think there's too many Aboriginal people out there who are successful that don't want to help make gains for our people.

If I'm only defined by my sport, I really have failed. Yes, I've opened myself up for more criticism, but I'm a professional athlete. I get criticised every week. I'm used to it. It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, but you get used to it.

If people have got a problem with me, say it to me. If you're going to hurt my feelings, I'm going to point you out.

I was very lucky to have fantastic leaders before me in Paul Kelly, Leo Barry, Brett Kirk, Craig Bolton, Mick O'Loughlin and Stuart Maxfield, and all of those players led in completely different ways.

The direction is going the right way for respect for aboriginal people in North America, and all we can do is stand up and say, 'Please do it faster.'

Aboriginal art and culture draws from the land, for Aboriginality and the land are essential to each other and are inseparable.

Its been instilled in me since I was young that I have to use my platform to change the world. Thats something thats part of my DNA. I think also that just being born as an Aboriginal woman, my life is politicised, so thats something Ive dealt with every day of my life.

We've had real strong aboriginal male artists who've crossed over to the mainstream who have toured the U.K., who have been a massive influence on myself and many, many communities around Australia.
