More quotes by Simon Baker
I was a pretty confident kid, even if it was all false bravado.
Simon Baker
I grew up surfing on the north coast of New South Wales, and on most of the beaches, women never wore tops. When we were 10 or 11, me and my mates couldn't drive, so they'd take us surfing and then sit on the beach topless and read a book. I don't know if I quite saw them sexually, but there was physical intrigue.
Simon Baker
I like putting my money into things like food and shelter. I'm probably a bad example of an investor.
Simon Baker
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
Simon Baker
Every TV show is a crapshoot, really. But every once in a while, a show gets anointed as 'the show.'
Simon Baker
In network TV, you have to present the box before you can step outside it.
Simon Baker
It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.
Simon Baker
I'm not immune to the charms of the female form. And when I was 17 and I spent every spare minute surfing, most of the girls we hung out with would be topless.
Simon Baker
I am very straight-forward and direct. If I disagree with something, I say something about it.
Simon Baker

Simon Baker
I think this Occupy Wall Street thing is great. I think that is a good thing and that people need to stand up, voice their opinions, and be heard.
Simon Baker
I didn't grow up with money, but I grew up with a lot of space. All I did was surf. I was committed to the ocean. That's one thing about Australians we have the capacity to embrace life.
Simon Baker
I was probably not the first to lose my virginity among my friends. I was definitely one of the last ones to reach puberty - I didn't grow until the last couple years of high school.
Simon Baker
When I have to play the same role every day, I have the flexibility to play the character in so many different ways. It's almost like playing five different roles.
Simon Baker
I need some challenges in love or I'm bored.
Simon Baker
My life is pretty hectic, but I'm really into it.
Simon Baker
There's more of a family connection when you're working on a TV show. That's not to say that you don't make great connections when you're working on films, but it's different unless you're there working every day.
Simon Baker
L.A.'s a better place to live than it is to visit.
Simon Baker
Well, capitalism is going to grow and grow. The nature of it is that the guy who has the most poker chips on the table has more leverage than everyone else. He can eventually outbluff everyone else and outraise everyone else at the table. That's what has happened and it needs to be corrected.
