The American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.

More quotes by Andrew Bogut
I'm not into jewelry. I've got some earrings but they're not too expensive. There are guys who drop a hundred grand for a chain. The public's got it right - a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.
Andrew Bogut
I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.
Andrew Bogut
In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.
Andrew Bogut
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
Andrew Bogut
I'm not super-athletic.
Andrew Bogut
Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.
Andrew Bogut
You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.
Andrew Bogut
I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come... Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is what I want to do.
Andrew Bogut
Concentrate on defense because the offense will come.
Andrew Bogut
I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.

It's definitely different in the States. Americans are much different people compared to us. We're much more laid back. I itch to get back to Australia every summer because it's so fast paced there and so stressful.
Andrew Bogut
I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.
Andrew Bogut
We scored a season-high, yeah - albeit against a team that is somewhat tanking.
Andrew Bogut
We have a high ceiling. We're still young. We're still learning coach's system and we're still learning how to play hard every night. I think that's been a bad habit of ours the last few years. It's a habit that's hard to shake, too. I think if we keep pushing, we'll be alright this season.
Andrew Bogut
I'm not a fan of baseball really.
Andrew Bogut
I think Chris Paul is a great player. He is very unselfish and plays very hard, so he would be a guy if he plays. I think his hand is still questionable, though. I hear they are talking about resting him that weekend. I'm excited to play with all the guys. Marvin Williams is starting to play well, and Salim Stoudamire, I think he should be there.
Andrew Bogut
The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.
Andrew Bogut
I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.
Andrew Bogut
This is my job and I respect it enough to concentrate on it.
Andrew Bogut
Going home to Australia, it's good to get home, but it's kind of bad too because you get used to that way of life again and you have to come back to America.
