When you’re in theater or the circus or film – to me it’s all one – affairs happen. People fall in love.
I feel funny about owning art. I don’t really want to say: ‘Wow, come and see my Monet – it’s in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar.’
The party is a true art form in Sydney and people practise it a great deal. You can really get quite lost in it.
If Paris is a city of lights, Sydney is the city of fireworks.
I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
Hurt him. Hurt him and save him.
The race is long but in the end it is only with YOURSELF...
I mean the future has become old fashioned.
I feel like a member of any group comprised of outsiders.
I don’t have fights with actors. In absolute honesty, I’ve never fought with any actor ever.
I always have a point of view. It may not be right, but it’s my own.
Fitzgerald coined the phrase the ‘Jazz Age,’ and now we’re living in the Hip-Hop Age.

Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you wanna do with your life; the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings, they’re your best link to your past. And the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Understand that friends come and go. But a precious few, who should hold on.
Worrying about the future is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life will always be things that never crossed your worried mind.
