Quotes:

It's very exciting, Robert's here with me for the first time. We're having such a good time. It was very funny. We were waiting to come on to the orange carpet and he was like, 'Can we go now? Can we go now?' - he's just like my dad.'' Big sister Bindi on walking the orange carpet with her brother.

"He's a little Steve clone." - Terri on the resemblance between father and son.
