There is a danger, if you cast someone who is 18, 19 or 20 to play 14 or 15, that very subtly, almost unconsciously, the audience is, "Oh, this isn't so bad."

I had a mustache when I was 13.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.

Being generous or doing things for others actually makes me feel good so I don't do it because I hope karma will come round and get me and I'll benefit from it.

It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.

There are days when I think: what if I just checked out? What if I grew a beard and went off to live somewhere remote? I have often wondered about the freedom that would bring.

At this age - I'm 44 - I think life's too short. I want it to mean something to me, if I'm going to spend that much time doing it.

I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

I was a geek in high school.

You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.

And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things.

Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.

When you're in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There's also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.

Everybody has the same amount of time during the day. You can either spend your time or invest your time.

People are at their most mindful when they are at play. If we find ways of enjoying our work blurring the lines between work and play the gains will be greater.

I love my football club. I love Essendon, I've always been apart of it and I want to be part of it going forward.

The middle years, caught between children and parents, free of neither: the past stretches back too densely, it is too thickly populated, the future has not yet thinned out.

Even in the same family, one child will always instinctively know when to ask for things, and another won't.

I'm trying to transform behaviors and ideas that have never been challenged in certain ways in my life. I'm not the kid that I was at 19.

Organized perception is what art is all about.
