Sonny Bill Williams

"I try not to read too much in the media because theyre either gonna put you on a pedestal too high or underplay you."

"I am the first to jump up and say that I am a proud Samoan."

"In terms of Sonny Bill, well Sonny Bill’s one of the most gifted players we’ve ever seen, big or small. His physical presence, his athleticism, his ability to play like a halfback, but with the strength and offloading ability of Arthur Beetson; it’s a pretty good package, Sonny Bill Williams."

"In 20 years time, I want to say didnt I have a go when I was in my prime, and I went back to play rugby league, tried to make the Rugby World Cup, tried to make the Olympics or tried to win the World Cup with the Kiwis."

"If you dont have massive dreams, you might as well stay in bed."

"I feel that if I am busting my arse, if I am stretching at night, if I am working hard in the gym, if I am doing all of my extras out on the field, if I am the first one there and the last to leave or whatever, and if I am giving my all every game, then I deserve to be the man I want to be rather than the man other people want me to be."
