I grew up surfing on the north coast of New South Wales, and on most of the beaches, women never wore tops. When we were 10 or 11, me and my mates couldn't drive, so they'd take us surfing and then sit on the beach topless and read a book. I don't know if I quite saw them sexually, but there was physical intrigue.

In network TV, you have to present the box before you can step outside it.

I do like comic book movies, but only the ones that I read as a kid.

I cut my own hair most of the time. You just do it all by feel.

I'm not immune to the charms of the female form. And when I was 17 and I spent every spare minute surfing, most of the girls we hung out with would be topless.

L.A.'s a better place to live than it is to visit.

I was a pretty confident kid, even if it was all false bravado.
