I was going to ask how your voice is… Some big musical talents from Australia as well…
Let’s leave it there! Let’s leave it there, for sure. Let’s not get into singing…
What’s your ultimate meal? That’s a starter, main, dessert and drink…
Well, I’d want the starter to still be like a main meal, so I’d just want to have two mains! Ultimately, without the weirdness of mixing cuisines or anything like that, just straight maximising one meal… I’d do sushi to start, so crispy rice with some tuna tartare on top, soy sauce, some other assortments of maki rolls. Then, for a main, I’m going to go for a basic penne pomodoro, maybe with a calzone or a pizza on the side. Then, for a dessert, I reckon like a sticky date pudding, a chocolate lava cake, and fruit at the end to make me not feel bad! I’m ending on some health.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Umm… I don’t think it’s necessarily like advice on how to do something, but for me, no matter where I get to or where I’ve even got to, it’s super important and something I always want to do to keep my feet firmly on the ground. It’s very easy in this world and also in the high-performance world, not even just when you’re in the spotlight, for things to get away from you. My dad has always been very firmly on my case [since I was] a kid of just making sure I stay super humble, feet on the ground and never change. It’s something that I value very much, especially when I see other high-class people, famous celebrities, and they’re just another regular – as we say in Australia – Joe Blow. You wouldn’t tell the difference, so that’s super important for me.
