I'm partial to a nice cup of vodka. I normally just drink it really simple with a little bit of lemon.

When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to getting older, to have more insight, more understanding.

His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.

I'm so misunderstood!

Particularly at the moment, it's an incredibly optimistic thing to bring children into the world.

When I see daughters with their fathers I wonder what that would be like, although not in a way that immobilises me.

I don't understand a way to work other than bold-facedly running towards failure.
