I've really written my books for my husband and our family. They've brought us closer together by allowing us to discuss things that were unspoken for so long.

I loved my life, but my choices were overloading and overwhelming me. Listening to inner feelings and fulfilling some of these urges when they come along is incredibly important.

I grew up in the suburbs of Sydney, an arid kind of place, but every day I took the ferry across the harbour to get to school. I'd watch the ships coming in and going out.

I don't think I'm generous enough to be the straight guy. I sort of make my own way and make my own statement. Do I mind pushing myself forward? Not at all.

I don't like the term mid-life crisis.

Being a psychologist did enable me to maintain objectivity.

So many people suffer from abuse, and suffer alone.
