In general, the problem in a relationship is when the couple stagnate.
couple years difficult
It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.

My kids think I'm old and over the hill.
character play roles
When I have to play the same role every day, I have the flexibility to play the character in so many different ways. It's almost like playing five different roles.
growing-up ocean space
I didn't grow up with money, but I grew up with a lot of space. All I did was surf. I was committed to the ocean. That's one thing about Australians; we have the capacity to embrace life.

The rich get richer and the poor get the picture. I think this Occupy Wall Street thing is great.

We will be continuing to look at new opportunities to move into new markets and if and when the opportunity arises and it fits and we have a clear and achievable strategy to enter that market, we will be making a move.

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

I like putting my money into things like food and shelter. I'm probably a bad example of an investor.
character men film
I love con-men characters in film.
kids thinking citizens
I think my kids are pretty well-rounded citizens of the world.

I think this Occupy Wall Street thing is great. I think that is a good thing and that people need to stand up, voice their opinions, and be heard.
guy needs tables
Well, capitalism is going to grow and grow. The nature of it is that the guy who has the most poker chips on the table has more leverage than everyone else. He can eventually outbluff everyone else and outraise everyone else at the table. That's what has happened and it needs to be corrected.
