Zitat des Tages von Sonny Bill Williams:

If I could go back and change how I left the NRL, I would. My name will forever be tarnished but I wasn't the man I am now.

To be an Olympian - not many people can say that. But first of all, I've got to make the team, and I know a lot of hard work is going to go into it, so hopefully it pays off.

In rugby union, I was out wide kicking stones with the pretty boys.

If we're going to be getting treated like that, why can't we treat the clubs like that? I just want to see the game and the players looked after the way they should be because the crowds don't turn up to watch David Gallop play... they turn up to watch the players play.

I like the challenge, week in, week out, of trying to play good, consistent footy.

Sonny Bill Williams

I don't know if I'm going to be any good at sevens.

As soon as I signed for the French rugby union, it was just a huge relief, you know, because I was out of Sydney and out of sight doing what was best for myself.

After that first month in Sydney, I went home for two weeks. I didn't want to ever go back because it was so hard.

Sonny Bill Williams

Beforehand you think, 'Oh, changing nappies - I'm going to be up; I need to get sleep for training.' But when it happens, when you're there, as soon as you hear a wiggle or a cough or something, you're up straight away. It doesn't bother you.

I think I'm evolving, I'm always in search of bettering myself, how I can improve as a sportsman and as a person.

I grew up as a Polynesian kid in the Polynesian community, and I was this skinny white kid.

You always have your knockers. There's always something wrong. But I'm happy. I think that I'm improving as a fighter; that's all I can ask for.

Sonny Bill Williams

What's the worst that can happen? I get knocked out. At least I tried.

You can't have eyes on the wall, or the angels won't come in. That's what we believe.
