Quote

Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.

I find that kid actors are great reminders of the simplicity of acting. As you get older, you can sometimes complicate things a little more. You can become too aware of, 'Okay, this is the scene emotionally. This is where we need to be. We've got the climax coming up.' You can start to analyze it too much.

One thing that I love about World Vision is every place they go, they go in with an exit plan, they don't want people dependent on them.

I had a fairly enlightened dad, though if you looked at his resume, it might not seem that way. He was a chartered accountant for Price Waterhouse. He was strict, and we had a very ordered life. To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car.

I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.

I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!

I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work.

I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

If somebody in your industry is more successful than you, it's because he works harder than you.

I'm a big goofball, you know. Don't tell anyone that, but I'm a big goofball. In Australia we call it a dag.

Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

I do not think it is logical to try and outsmart the smartest people. Instead, my weapons are irony and paradox. The joy of life is partly in the strange and unexpected. It is in the constant exclamation 'Who would have thought it?'

Boring' can be a lot of fun. Especially if it's on your own terms.

Anyone can be an idealist. Anyone can be a cynic. The hard part lies somewhere in the middle.

Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it.

The activity of being a husband, a father - those are roles, too, but underneath them is the spiritual center that connects us all, and that's what's most important.

My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.

Breakfast is my specialty. I admit it's the easiest meal to cook, but I make everything with a twist, like lemon ricotta pancakes or bacon that's baked instead of fried.
