The British needlewoman follows blindly where the merchant leads.

I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry.

All the arts are predominantly national, and therefore the Australian Film Commission should be funding us. The battle gets more and more vicious each year.

We are here predominantly to support independent filmmakers and their needs. We are also here to assist people actually in their production, non-commercial people in their production.

The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base.

You have always had individual directors who begin in the advertising or commercial world, but they are probably exceptions rather than the traditional pattern.

The worst thing that you can do in terms of bringing a product up to the market is to be two days after someone else has brought a similar product to the international market-It's dead.
