Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings.

But never have I been a blue calm sea I have always been a storm.

I'm going to be singing Dreams and Rhiannon when I'm 75 - and that's just fine with me. I just hope my chiffon doesn't get tangled in my rocking chair.

My life is a testament to believing that if you want something you can make it happen.

If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?

You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don't need the money, but there's an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There's a love there; we're a band of brothers.

I totally believe in magic. Because my life, I think, has been very magic, and magical things have come true for me time after time after time.

Timeless is the creature who is wise. And timeless is the prisoner in disguise.

I believe that there is a certain amount of mysticism that all women should have, that you should never tell all your secrets, that you should never tell everybody all about you.

All I ever wanted Was to know that you were dreaming.

If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat.

I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content.

When you're not happy, you need to be strong to change, resisting the temptation of turning back. The weak goes nowhere

I don't think I'm an outsider at all.

I don't know how to play myself. I'm not interested enough in myself. That's just not how I was educated. That's not how I learned to become an actor. Acting is creating a character.

Time has laid his hand Upon my heart, gently, not smiting it, But as a harper lays his open palm Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations.

I can see myself wanting to write a historical novel - you don't need to worry about references to reality TV or pop music, you can just get on with the basics of story and character.

I hope to work harder than ever to help people around the world.

I think the darker aspect of my fiction-or anybody's fiction-is by its very nature somehow easier to talk about.
