Personal Quote:

[on attending a boarding school for Maori boys in New Zealand.] It was like being sent to gladiator school. Like prison. The only things people respected were strength, being good at rugby, and being able to hold your own in a fight. See more »

Trivia:

Offered ballet scholarship in New York after finishing high school, but chose to travel Europe and the US instead. See more »
