I had spent some time in the outback, but to meet Aboriginals and work with them was wonderful. It gave me a great appreciation of how tough life is and about the indomitable spirit that the Aboriginal people have always possessed.

For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade shoes.

It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.

Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh.

The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out.

I've had a tough time learning how to act like a congressman. Today I accidentally spent some of my own money.
