“I look back on my life like everybody does but not just career. I mean I look back on my life as a whole, so I don’t think that I dwell there or anything and in terms of work I hope that there is a lot in front of me.”

Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soul mate.

Everything will be better in the morning. It always is.

I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between – I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn’t exist, which I really appreciated.

We measure success and depth by length of time, but it is possible to have a deep relationship that doesn’t always stay the same.

Sydney’s a beautiful city. It was a great experience.

I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.

I know actors come around and they always talk like that, but I don’t do publicity if I don’t like the film.

I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people’s reactions to my aging.

It’s also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we’re better and have more to give and are more fun now.

I’m afraid of being lazy and complacent. I’m afraid of taking myself too seriously.

My career goals generally remain the same, but my short time goals constantly change either because I’ve reached them all or they no longer fit into my current strategy.

In politics there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers, and then there are those like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.

My career is based on the slow build of an audience based on putting on a good show live and putting out a record every couple of years.

Instead of squirreling away your earnings early in your career, spend on experiences that will enrich your life – like diving with great white sharks. It can expose you to influential people who could open doors for you.

Dying is to be avoided because it can ruin your whole career.

Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.

It’s been a wonderful career, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

The bottom line is that TV can either be a great asset to your career, or if you’re a complete ass that people hate, it can be the final nail in your coffin.
