Temptation is impossible for me to resist... Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.

I was a tough kid. I don't punch people anymore.

I was a wayward kid, a rambunctious and angry teenager, but I found acting as a fifteen-year-old.

Why am I the way I am? Well, I used to be different.

Education, like neurosis, begins at home.

The greatest stain upon this great Australian nation's character, without any question, is the great gaps that exist between our Aboriginal brothers and sisters in terms of their health, their education, their living conditions, their incarceration rates and life expectancy. It's a great stain.

When our forbears - yours and mine - came to America, they came because this country promised them something. It promised them an opportunity, nourished by education, not merely to grind for a bare living, but to strive for a good life.

I had a great acting teacher in high school. But I didn't like acting because it took too many people to get the job done. You have to talk to too many people and listen to others' opinions. With music, you get a few friends together and just make it.
