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

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.

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.

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

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.

I am filling my life with an abundance of love every day and in every way so that I can give it away.

Awaken each day with the expectation that something wonderful is about to happen.

Whenever you smile, whenever you care, whenever you love, whenever you share, your spirit will dance with joy because happiness is there.

I've been going up and bombing everywhere. It's great. I love it. It's hilarious.

It is difficult to be king when the gods are changing.

Country music is about new love and it's about old love.

The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.

The Greek sculptor - I don't think he was very different from any of us.

I think I make better use of language and imagery than when I started out.

We have become so obsessed by numbers and by bottom lines that beauty and truth has been knocked aside.
