Video just accesses international information so much more readily.

In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia. I think that our quality now is less than it was then.

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

Build into each budget the cost of hiring and don't lump yourself with capital investment.

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.

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.
