Quotes

“The power of making people hate you, that’s very powerful … negative always gets more attention than something you do that’s positive.”

“I’m going into my message requests and it’s just full of blue ticks. Nearly all the Australian rugby league players, the commentators, half the AFL players… I’m talking people from the West Coast Eagles and stuff like that.”

“Even though, as a Christian, I’m not supposed to believe in a scale as Muslims do, I still do. I always have that scale in the back of my head.”

“Everyone is naturally attracted to what’s opposite. A small percentage of Australia is criminal. People are attracted to people telling stories that they know nothing about.”

“My life has been crime and jail. I can’t fake someone else’s life.”

“Like, it’s not realistic to be a criminal any more. I would expect that if I was, tomorrow, to steal a car and rob a pub, get away clean, and burn the car, it’s like a 50-50 chance that I would get done. There’d be some CCTV down ten streets away that caught a glimpse of me that had biometrics that full knew that it was me — that zoomed in 4K on some slight tattoo on my finger — which is not enough evidence in itself, but would lead them to figure it out.”

“I don’t want to ever go back to jail. But everything about me is jail.”

“What can I say? I want to be a superstar. I feel like I deserve to be a superstar.”
