I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effort?

No, I'm so well-known at home I think they think of me like a piece of comfortable furniture that's always been around that they're not going to throw out.

I do have friends in Australia who now refer to me as 'Hollywood Jack.'

The libel laws in Australia are a lot tougher than they are in America.

We're becoming so much better at destigmatizing all sorts of things, including mental illness in 'Silver Linings'.

I love gay Mardi Gras in Sydney, which is a big parade, a big march that thousands and thousands of people participate in. And there's one little group... well it's not little, it's got hundreds of people marching, and they're all very sweet, middle-aged and elderly people who are the parents of gay children who are out and proud.

To be embraced by Hollywood when I'd been acting professionally for almost 50 years seemed unbelievable. I've been so welcomed in such a warm, generous way - it seemed crazy not to take advantage of it. I hope for another 20 years where I can still keep going.
