They're very nationalistic the French - or they used to be. Very insular. Pretty arrogant.

I think it would be better if nobody owned anything, but they didn't starve. Had enough paint and enough pianos and everything else.

We save paradise by an intense education program where you get people that you can trust to talk sanely about the environment and hope that the message will get through.

If I was whisked away... I think I could put up with anything, except not seeing the Australian landscape. It would be a torture to have it cut off.

Everything I do is the environment.

If you can't protect yourself with talk, you won't be alive to protect yourself with guns.

I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content.
