I was probably not the first to lose my virginity among my friends. I was definitely one of the last ones to reach puberty - I didn't grow until the last couple years of high school.

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.

Sometimes being happy takes effort. Invest time and energy in yourself and your happiness.

I didn't fall in love with you tate, I flew..

When the voice of truth rises from the minarets, the Buddha smiles, and the broken chain of history reconnects.

Bad promises are better broken than kept.

St. Louis has always been special to me.

He's a terrorist. Rush Limbaugh is a terrorist.

It may be that when the angels go about their task praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart.

Saying atheism is a belief system is like saying not going skiing is a hobby.

At any given time, if you live long enough, old age catches you . . . the only choices we have in life are either the impairment of old age or early death.

My normal life is like being on holiday.
