In network TV, you have to present the box before you can step outside it.

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.

Forget the beauty, comfort, love and enjoyment. You must to be enough tough on yourself to be strong on others.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

I pride myself on average, not home runs.

Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses...what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.

There are far too many men in politics and not enough elsewhere.

Piety, religion, and morality are intimately connected with the well being of that state, and indispensable to the administration of civil justice.

Oracle, for example, has even hired people to dumpster dive for information about its competitor, Microsoft. It's not even illegal, because trash isn't covered by data secrecy laws.

I'm not a pop act, churning stuff out really quickly. I find the music that arises from that style of working is distracted, not particularly profound.

If you cast away one cross, you will certainly find another, and perhaps a heavier.

We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.
