I need some challenges in love or I'm bored.

My life is pretty hectic, but I'm really into it.

Time goes a lot quicker when the work is a lot more enjoyable.

I'm not immune to the charms of the female form. And when I was 17 and I spent every spare minute surfing, most of the girls we hung out with would be topless.

I didn't grow up with money, but I grew up with a lot of space. All I did was surf. I was committed to the ocean. That's one thing about Australians; we have the capacity to embrace life.

I am very straight-forward and direct. If I disagree with something, I say something about it.

I think my kids are pretty well-rounded citizens of the world.

Sometimes the intensity and the grind of doing television can wear you down, but at the same time there's something about the repetition, the sheer mass of work that you do that's also liberating.

I don't like fancy fiddly girlie stuff.

I try to be straightforward and honest with my kids, and I believe nothing beats good old hard work.

If you can't be proud of what you do, go and sell shoes. Do something else.

From your point of view as a reader, therefore, the most important words are those that give you trouble.

If we don't place the straitjacket of gender roles on young children, we give them space to reach their full potential.

The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

It isn't what you do, but how you do it.

I would never, ever desert my child. A lot of my friends didn't have fathers growing up, and they were very upset that their fathers weren't around. I was lucky to have mine around.

We often talk too much & listen too little. The surer route to winning a friend isn't to convince them that you're right, but that you care what they think.

When you get to my age, you find that most of your dear friends are gone.

You don't let a historic site rot.

I've always made a clear distinction between making a life and making a living.

Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
