Singing is and always will be a part of my life.

The music I love listening to is more of the Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Dido, Jewel Kilcher, Norah Jones, Joss Stone, a bit more of that organic live-instrumentation feel.

Australia is an island surrounded by water. My fondest memories growing up were trips to the beach, walking around the harbour and playing in the beautiful parks.

In Australia, there is a very famous show called 'Home and Away.' I was cast on that at 15. The day I started filming, my life changed.

If I ever had to be on an amusement park ride, I probably wouldn't get on one; I'm not a very adventurous person!

I grew up listening to most of my parents' music, like The Beatles and ABBA and all that stuff.

Music I can discover a part of myself that I haven't been able to for a long time, and acting is the opposite. I'm in love with both of them and I would never choose one over the other.

I'm a perfectionist about being on time.

I always wanted to perform. I remember being 5 years old and telling my parents to sit down as I was going to put on a play for them.

A happy childhood can fortify one against the ravages of life, and part of that happiness is found in books, which become our constant companions for the rest of our lives.

Music is the shorthand of emotion.

Mom in the night The time will come Forests will be regrown People will be reborn When that happens Time will be remembered in history Because we won't count time anymore

Don’t be quick to get angry.

Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.

If deeds are wanting all words appear mere vanity and emptiness.

The only use for an atomic bomb is to keep somebody else from using one. It can give us no protection - only the doubtful satisfaction of retaliation...

I was born in Rome on March 11, 1923. Because of my age, I've become a piece of this country's history, but it's also true that a certain strand of Italy's film history has passed though me.

The purpose of life is to remember.

Fear is always a good motivator.
