My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status regardless of the pest.

You always hear people saying 'I hope I'm not turning into my dad' but I'd be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is.

My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.

I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band so I always feel at home at a venue.

My dad always said 'Champ the measure of a man is not how often he is knocked down but how quickly he gets up.'

My dad never blew anything up but he probably had friends who did. He and my mom have always preached that the pen is mightier than a Molotov cocktail.

My dad always used to tell me that if they challenge you to an after-school fight tell them you won't wait-you can kick their ass right now.

My dad says I could sing before I could talk if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.

I try to be a hard boiled sometimes. My kids see right through it. I'm acting. It's always 'When I say you'll be back at 11 that means 11 not 11.15. Do you hear me!?' Then 'Yeah Dad.'

I've never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent a selfish act.
