I'm not doing my work for constant success.

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.

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

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.

Whoever has hatred toward someone is that hatred.

Conformity is deformity

Some people never say the words ‘I love you’, for like a child they’re longing to be told.

It's love, not the Battle of Thermopylae. You don't have to treat everything like it's a last stand.

If you're looking for messages, try Western Union.

Language should be pure, noble and graceful, as the body should be so: for both are vestures of the Soul.

Accept the fact that you're an artist and stop second-guessing yourself. Just do it.

If you've never watched people watch television, I don't recommend it. It's not an exciting thing to do.

Just because you’re on their side doesn’t mean they’re on your side.

When a man imagines, even after years of striving, that he has attained perfection, his decline begins.
