It is women who have traditionally, historically been given non-human roles, perceived as simply the daughters of Eve, perceived as either Madonna or whore. And I think that it is the sexual revolution that plays one part in female emancipation.

I was a total nerd growing up. I’d rather sit home and read a novel on New Year’s Eve and say, ‘Wow, I read the whole thing in one night!’ That was my idea of a big time.
My problem with present buying is usually lack of time. Not because I’m super-busy, I’m just super-lazy. I leave everything to the last minute and end up running up and down the high street on Christmas Eve like a crazed baboon.

Each one of us sees Jesus in a different way. To some, He was prophet, for they needed to know the kingdom was at hand. But most of all, He was the son of God, and He came to experience the consequences of the curse the Father had put upon mankind when Adam and Eve disobeyed.

I came in the game in the era when Eve came in the game. We kind of came in together. I think she was a year or two before me. I worked with her. She’s somebody that’s a friend in the industry, especially when it comes to females.

The last thing I stole was a box of Coca Cola from a parked truck in Adelaide. I was nice and drunk. It was New Year’s Eve. And that was about 28 years ago.
Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve – one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don’t think anyone else should either.
Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.

I don’t know if I would be doing what I do without ‘Eve’s Bayou,’ and I don’t know if I would have the career that I have without working on ‘Eve’s Bayou.’ The love for what I do, I found it in that project.
I love sparkly eyes for the holidays, especially New Year’s Eve.
