Quotes:
Simon Baker: If you can't be proud of what you do, go and sell shoes. Do something else.
(On changing his name back to Baker) Simon Baker: There was nothing Hollywood about me changing my name. It was about wanting to find out where you fit in the world and where you come from. A lot of that became more potent for me when I was about to become a father myself. So that was the beginning of the saga and it took me to 30 to change back to Baker.
