One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan. ↗

I moved from New Zealand to Melbourne when I was 17. I'd planned to go to university to study French, but I was offered a contract to write and record an album that was too good to pass up. Looking back now I think that was pretty young but, at the time, I was ready to have an adventure. ↗

I love coming home to Melbourne. The first thing I do is have a coffee. It's just so much better here than anywhere else. It's better than in Italy and I travel a lot. I crave it. ↗

The truth is that Monash and Melbourne Universities are almost exactly the same in as far as the Economics/Commerce faculty goes. No University can fully prepare you for the real world. Melbourne has name and prestige while the economics and statistics departments at Monash are renowned for their research. ↗

I had a very strange career. I mean I went from playing to 150,000 people in 1983/84. Three or four years later I was playing to four people, you know, in Melbourne. I thought - bit strange, you know bit odd, bit erratic. ↗

I would love to do well one last time in Melbourne and my dream would be to win Wimbledon and play in the London Olympics. ↗
