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.

I need some challenges in love or I'm bored.

I've seen the odd tarot reader and had my palm read in various countries and explained to me in many strains of broken English. Did I believe a word? To be honest, I didn't understand much, but I loved watching the presentation.

I try to be straightforward and honest with my kids, and I believe nothing beats good old hard work.

I don't like the idea of talking down to kids. I think I was talked down to, and you rebel against that.

I've always been really drawn to that kind of sexual earthiness in European women, and Sophia Loren covered all the bases, including the whole mummy fantasy.

I am very straight-forward and direct. If I disagree with something, I say something about it.
