I have studied at the school of the world.

I'd like to see the University of Western Australia and the other four or five universities in Western Australia really excel through having some of the greatest minds in the world attracted to it.

I'd like to go to university. I'd like to do a bit of travelling.

Universities are like a utopia in a way, because you're mentally stimulated, you're challenged, and you have a lot of young, creative minds wanting to do new things, different things. Better things.

I like the fact that I'm living in the world rather than in a university.

I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.

I have a passion for academic life, a passion for students and for the ability and the narrative of a university to make a difference in the world in which they reside.

Our universities and museums are respected around the country.

My television and movie career has also taken me all over the world. I've had great times in the Far East, Russia, South America and Sweden - where I met my wife of 55 years, Maj.

Quickly, after I landed in England, I found out ways to get scholarships. England turned out to be a very encouraging place for me.
