- On the possibility of a return to acting: I really can't envisage me working in the TV industry anymore. I think I said once that, in the TV industry you can be Houdini, and the next minute you're just plain 'who'. And I'm quite happy being 'who'.
- On leaving acting: I'd been in the film industry since I was 13, up until about 23, 24. I'd done about 16 or 20 shows. And once some of those shows started to attract media attention, I really wasn't interested in that side of it. If I have any interest from here on in, it'll be behind the camera.
- On his passion for greyhound racing: I enjoy the solitude of it. When I get up every morning, I spend two or three hours clearing my mind and working my dogs, and unlike children, they don't back answer you.
- On his three month jail term in Risdon Prison, Tasmania in 1994: I've spent years trying to put my life back together, and I'm happy with where I'm at, at the moment. I spent a bit of time for cashing checks to enable my gambling. It's all in the past now.
- On his gambling addiction and the repercussions on his acting career: I sort of knew I was destroying myself, at the same time I felt comfortable because I was in control, in my little world. And, maybe in a way I was trying to destroy my career at the same time.
- On the fame encountered during his acting career: There was times where, obviously, people recognise you, and boyfriends want to come across the street and start fighting with you -- I suppose that's enough -- for no particular reason. I didn't mind the autographs and that sort of stuff, but it just wasn't for me in the end.
- On how he got involved in acting: I was at high school, my first year of high school, and they were auditioning for a film around the states of New South Wales looking for kids to audition, and I auditioned so I could get out of English and Maths for the day. That's how it started.
