Anyway, when I was a kid, I dutifully went to the Sydney Technical and Fine Arts College.

I'd much rather turn down a starring role in a bad picture and do a small role in a very good picture.

The fact that I'm going to be unsuccessful at times is pretty well-balanced by the fact that I'm going to be successful at others.

But I did a lot of boxing and I was captain of an Australian surf club.

I was one of the first of the uglies. Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter... were very pretty fellows, and that was the trend. I was one of the first of the uglies to get lucky.

I did well as an actor in Australia, and then Paramount invited me over... to have a look at me.

I am proud to be an actor.

I'm not doing my work for constant success.

I worked at Mark Foy's during the day and studied drama at night.

When people think it's successful, I'm grateful. When they don't - OK, I'll try again.

I married at a tender age during my early stage and radio struggles.

Once in a while I catch myself wondering whether I would have found the courage to write if I had not started to write when I was too young to know what was good for me.

Art is violent. To be decisive is violent. ... To place a chair at a partial angle on the stage destroys every other possible choice, every other option.

I just knew at an early time in my life how important privacy was.

Bad news travels fast. Good news takes the scenic route.

I encourage people to ask whatever question you're most interested in hearing the answer to.

Everything I've done I've done with enthusiasm and passion.

Yes, a Major would mean so much to me but I'm a great believer that if you work hard and in the right way, you will get what you deserve.

For every dream of yours that you make come true, you'll pay the price in heartbreak.

If you despise the mountains you have climbed, you are not welcomed by the mountains you have not yet climbed!

I like a book better if I can't predict what's going to happen.
