'Just wonderful, so funny and charming and sharp. Sam Neill's
lively, lovely book made me laugh out loud.' * Meryl Streep *
'Sam Neill is a legend, and in this magnificent book he shares his
stories of family, friends and film with delicious irreverence,
compassion and grace.' * Laura Dern *
'Sam Neill is one of my favourite people in the world, and a great
entertainer. Did I Ever Tell You This? is full of warm,
funny, and sometimes heartbreaking stories. It will make you feel
like you have just sat down under a tree to chat with a dear
friend.' * Jimmy Barnes *
'Fabulously entertaining, insanely readable.' * Stephen Fry *
'The book, which has a delicious, winding stair structure, finishes
buoyant with hope and is all the richer for the terminal
framing...The book radiates drama and comical digression in equal
measure...Did I Ever Tell You This? is a lovely book,
bewitchingly meandering. This is that rarest of things, a memoir by
an actor without vanity.' * Peter Craven, Monthly *
'Rather than the star who makes heads turn in the street, he comes
across as an ordinary bloke, unpretentious, down-to-earth, a bit
confounded by the track he's found himself on over the years, but
still quite pleased about it.' * Sydney Morning Herald *
'A brilliant and eye-opening look into Neill's life...deeply
personal yet highly relatable. You'll both laugh and cry with
Neill, feeling like you're on his journey with him at each turn of
the page. This is a heartwarming, wise and highly recommended
read.' * Better Reading *
'[A] charming, seemingly honest and frequently self-deprecating
trawl through the life and career of one of New Zealand's finest
and certainly most popular acting exports.' * ArtsHub *
'I finished this memoir feeling like I had been at a raucous dinner
party, seated next to him of course, where tales are flung from one
end of the earth to the other and the evening finishes with a
lovely Two Paddocks pinot noir. And a relief that he is in
remission. Read this memoir because it turns out that Sam Neill is
an excellent dinner party guest.' * Readings *
'In all his films Neill seems to naturally inhabit his parts, as he
does in this memoir that reminds you of a brilliant dinner
conversation where pretension has been left at the door and a glass
of pinot noir (from Neill's Two Paddocks vineyard, maybe) placed in
your hand.' * Herald Sun *
'Really, really, really funny. There are some cracking stories. I
read it in one sitting!' * Lorraine Kelly *
'I love this book, it's like spending time with you. A real treat.
Fantastic' * Graham Norton *
'Charming. A transparently lovely man, with a life hectically well
lived' * Mail on Sunday *
