I want to tell people that family violence happens to anybody, no matter how nice your house is, no matter how intelligent you are.

What I want people to take from this is that it isn't simple. People judge you, people tell you what you should do. You do the best you can.

What we have to continue to remind ourselves is that violence is a choice.

Let's start calling family violence 'terrorism' and then maybe we will start to see that investment of funding applied to where it needs to be.

I never want anyone to be sitting where I'm sitting and to have lost their son, because I can never get Luke back.

Children have very little voice, and the coroner's inquest is about Luke's voice, and making sure Luke is heard and respected and honoured. I don't want him to have died in vain.

This is about saving children's lives. It is not about agencies and services protecting themselves.

Luke was a little boy in a growing body that felt pain and sadness and fear for his mum, and he always believed he would be safe with his dad.

What we want is to make sure that people don't go through what I'm going through ... and we have to understand that even since Luke's death, children have been killed.

Theatre is a voyage into the archives of the human imagination

The greatest life is joy of contentment.

Humility is the recognition of your limitations, and it is from this understanding, and this understanding alone, that the drive comes to work hard at overcoming them.

Some players need a boot up their backside. Other players need the arm

I think it would be fair and right to use some of my land and wealth for a drug-rehab center or an Indian school.

Scribblers are a self-conceited and self-worshipping race.

I love theatre. I think it's the home of most actors...most actors start with it. It's so enjoyable to do and to be able to see your audience. And the process of theatre is great.

We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours.

Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.

A solitary being is by instinct a wanderer.
