Whenever I feel like having some sort of comfort food, I'll have some of it but won't have tons of it.
I have just enough people paying attention that I have the freedom to be in charge. And I have a great record company - Nonesuch understands what I'm about.
I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven't known life to be any happier.
I'm very relaxed. I have a family, I have a partner of 20 years, I have a wonderful life; nothing could be better.
People that I have known that have been extremely creative, people in the business, they have always been influenced by their mothers. Their mothers are the ones that created whatever it is - the urge to create.
I'd have to fight for an Australian role over an American actor, and I already have to do that overseas, so why would I have to do it back at home?
At the end of the day, you can't have a vision; you have to have a hope. This is where the miracle comes in.
If you have Palestinians who have no hope, who don't have a job, who've used up all their resources, the notion of getting rid of violence is a dream.

Ask, 'How are we different from the great apes?' We have culture, we have civilisation, and we have language to be celebrated as part of being human.
Through my work with PETA, I have learned a great deal about chimpanzee behavior and the plight of chimpanzees imprisoned in laboratories.
I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.
I think a lot of good actors - for instance, Gary Sinise - have no training. His training was really entirely on his feet. I suppose you have to have an instinct for it.
I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me and the people who have done wrong by me.
I enjoy horse riding, spending time with my dog 'Smurf,' and basically having a really good laugh partying and having fun!
I have learned that trying to guess what the boss or the client wants is the most debilitating of all influences in the creation of good advertising.
You have to believe in your process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.
