Well, I'm not going to go into what the letter says, because the police are looking at that. But as you say it's in Bahasa. But of course that's not to suggest that the letter came from outside of Australia. It came from in Australia. It came from Victoria.

So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.

Well, it's a - I don't want to disappoint you, but it's a time worn tradition of Australian Governments over many years not to get into any discussion about that aspect of intelligence matters.

I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don't respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.

I think any good government will target on the finishing date, that is, the polling day and make sure that their strategy is strong and in place to get them successfully re-elected.

I think prime ministers, I actually think Cabinet ministers should be subject to intense scrutiny, I think that's in the public interest, even if some of the allegations made aren't right and so on, and they have to correct the record, it doesn't matter.

I'm not going into personal details of meetings I have with anybody, be it John Howard or President Bush or President Putin or President Yeltsin, in years gone by, whoever it may be, I'm not going into that.

I'm not terribly focused on whether I even could ever become the Leader of the Liberal Party or the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the future.

If people are concerned about my house and where I live again it's much more of a reflection on them than it is on me.

My father had the same name as me but he was known as Alec. He was a member of the House of Representatives.

Well goodness knows, goodness knows what historians will write.

Well people often ask me how I felt growing up with a father who was a politician and who was often away. But when I'm asked that question I often reflect on my inability really to be able to answer it in any relative sense because I never grew up with a father doing anything else. So I just have no idea what it would be like otherwise.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

Yes, I don't think I shall ever become Prime Minister. Hard as that is to swallow, I tell you one person who is very happy always to see me say that, and that's my wife.

There's established gaming IP that's coming from console to mobile, which is interesting. Everything is converging a little bit toward mobile devices in the living room. On the casual side, the graphics and animation and game design and all of those variables are improving.

You can't know what it's like to be a major league umpire unless you were a major league umpire.

The track in Abu Dhabi is special; this will be our third Grand Prix there.

The simplest of women are wonderful liars who can extricate themselves from the most difficult dilemmas with a skill bordering on genius.

Pennsylvania couldn't be prouder of our native son, Joe Biden from Scranton. No one knows us better than Joe.

The expansion and sophistication of transnational crime represents one of the most dangerous threats we confront in the next millennium.

If someone paid me a million dollars to drink a glass of milk, I wouldn't do it; maybe that's because I don't need the money.

George Bush is a catastrophe for the world. And a dream for Bin Laden.

Post 'Kick,' I was flooded with offers. The film has given me a solid fan base even in Dubai and Bahrain.

For death is but a passing phase of Life A change of dress a disrobing A birth into the unborn again A commencing where we ended A starting where we stopped to rest A crossroad of Eternity A giving up of something to possess all things. The end of the unreal the beginning of the real.

I'm really excited about furthering my film career in Bollywood and Hollywood.

Never give up, have the passion. Don't be afraid.

Every single line on the Oscar show is negotiated. Unless you've been there, you have no idea how it is put together. It's like nothing else on earth. I'm writing a book about it, but I have to throw in my sexual escapades to make sure it sells.

I've certainly had to bite my tongue on occasion and live to fight another day, so to speak, on certain things. But when you're new and fresh, you come out and think, 'I don't want to screw my chance up, so I'll go along with what everybody else does.'

My dream is to one day own a country house on the shore in England, have gotten married, wipe some debt off and get a few more good films.

I love not man the less, but Nature more.

I think we all achieve a little. You can say, 'That's relative.' But when you think of world events, it really is very small.

I fell in love with the most beautiful girl in the Bronx.

Brunettes are full of electricity.

I just have always been so interested in the way actors and actresses present themselves to the world because I think it is very important and it affects the way people see you as an actor.

I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.

I want to pass on my secrets to people who are going to say, 'I have realised that I love baking, and now I'm going to make my bread and sell it at the local farmers' market,' or who might say, 'I am going to use the local Post Office in our village to sell my cakes.' I want to give them that little bit of fire.

I don't know where people think I'm from, but I'm from Chicago. It's really just that. People wanna romanticize it and say, 'There's two sides to it, and it's a beautiful love/hate story of violence and music.' But it's really just a very scummy place where people don't have respect for other people's lives.
