L.A.'s a better place to live than it is to visit.
Simon Baker
I've always been a shy person.
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 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 do like comic book movies, but only the ones that I read as a kid.
Simon Baker
My kids think I'm old and over the hill.

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.
Simon Baker
I cut my own hair most of the time. You just do it all by feel.

I love con-men characters in film.

Time goes a lot quicker when the work is a lot more enjoyable.

French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.

People talk about random acts of kindness, and that goes back to the measure of being gentlemanly again. It's about having consideration for others, and not expecting anything back. That's the difference.
Simon Baker
I like putting my money into things like food and shelter. I'm probably a bad example of an investor.
Simon Baker
I would love to do a rom-com, but they are not good - good and successful doesn't equate to the same thing.
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
I do have a lot of Australian friends.
Simon Baker
I'm a big fan of Alan J. Pakula's films like 'All the President's Men', 'The Parallax View,' and 'Klute.' I'm a big fan of those movies.
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've always been really drawn to that kind of sexual earthiness in European women, and Sophia Loren covered all the bases, including the whole mummy fantasy.
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.
