Simon Baker

I try to be straightforward and honest with my kids, and I believe nothing beats good old hard work.

As a kid I was always a bit of a clown, a performer.

I'm pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I'm doing something constructive.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

Now people look at 'The Scream' or Van Gogh's 'Irises' or a Picasso and see its new content: money. Auction houses inherently equate capital with value.
