I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.
Look, my philosophy in life is expect nothing and everything is a bonus.
The word philosophy sounds high-minded, but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something, you don't just read about it; you hug it, you mess with it, you play with it, you argue with it.
Probably look at it for an hour then paint it or throw it in the pool.
I think I was 5 and singing 'Camelot' on stage. It was always a good way to meet girls. I did musicals, plays. My school encouraged it. We'd do our own productions. It wasn't until I was about 23 that I thought, 'I could give this a shot. I might as well do it.'
It is fair to say I am obsessed with that series. I am like a junkie looking for series two.
Peter's whole essence was very joyous. He was fearless, outrageous, and childlike, and he definitely lived life to the full.

My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you...if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.'
basically, I'll make an ass of myself anywhere.
I'm a little bit humbled and I'm thrilled. Australia will always be our home.
The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.
I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
We feel that there are so many kids who need adopting. We thought we'd do it after having a couple of our own, but we just changed our mind.
