Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.

After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.

There are certain things men will never understand about women. We'll never get it. And you're supposed to be nice to them. Because they can hurt you.

I had a female business partner once. Didn't work.

I was known for being a bit of a clown. I remember my dad got me aside and said, "Just remember, everybody likes a clown, but nobody pays him." I've often been tempted to call him and say, "Remember how you told me...?" "Yeah?" "Yes, they do."

My father told me very early on that it was a sin to worry too much.

But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20.
