He spoke about his love of Italian tradition to Australian public broadcaster SBS in 2017: "The family values and always eating dinner together you know at the table. We love our food, I mean the whole world loves their food, it's not just Italians but you know the big Sunday lunches - it was a big part of us getting together with other cousins, uncles and aunties."
===========
Honey badger
============
He explained its significance in a Red Bull interview: "It's supposed to be the most fearless animal in the animal kingdom. When you look at it, he seems quite cute and cuddly, but as soon as someone crosses his territory in a way he doesn't like, he turns into a bit of a savage and he'll go after anything - tigers, pythons - he turns very quickly, but he's a good guy."
The complete athlete
====================
"He just managed it like he was on a Sunday afternoon drive. Daniel is the complete article now. You can hear his composure in the car, when something goes wrong there is no panic, no raising of his voice. He worked it out and I cannot praise him enough."
