I have my Qantas wings, I'm very proud of that,
I felt marvelous about that because she's equally wanting to see others thrive because that's real love. You know real love, if you boil down to the bottom line is: the desire to see someone survive and thrive.
Oh yeah, dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
I'm from a working-class family. We didn't have a lot, but we had the arts. You're talking to a guy who is making a living at doing what he loves doing - acting, singing and dancing. So any career ups and downs were not that significant to me; the only things that really powerfully impinged on me were my losses, and there were many in my life.
Most people forget that you have to create relationships. The allure of the first years settles down, and at that moment, you better start creating it; otherwise, you're going to lose out.
What if you built a carport, but for a plane, and with a Frank Lloyd Wright feel?
It's basically like old home week. You get to hang out with your buddies.
It's always good to be at an Aussie event.
They're creative, they've got stamina and a sense of fun. You couldn't ask for more,
You try to keep the delivery room quiet so there's nothing recorded in the child's mind that shouldn't be there while there's pain going on.
When I was a kid in the 60s, believe it or not, most of you are younger and don't know that, but it was a blast to fly! You dressed up, you got in your Sunday best, women wore white gloves, you had room to stretch your legs out, you had a very nice meal, the stewardess paid particular attention to you. It was an event. It's so different today.
I love Scientology. I've been involved for 38 years, and I don't think I'd be here without it because I've had a lot of losses and different negative things that have happened over the years and it really got me through brilliantly.
When I say 'yes' to a movie it's usually because, to a greater or lesser extent, it's because I'm enthusiastic about the character. How well that character ultimately comes off depends on a lot of things: your relationship with the director and so on. But at first, you're on board because you think you can do something with it.
When my mother died, it sort of put a damper on things. My career didn't have the same significance or excitement. It had always been about doing well for my family - my brothers, sisters, father, mother. Then something interesting and important happened - I started doing things for me.
