I am always worried when someone says, 'This is perfect.'

When you're in theater or the circus or film - to me it's all one - affairs happen. People fall in love.

I've always loved the old epics that tell a simple emotional story, whether it's the tumultuous relationship between Rhett and Scarlett or Lawrence of Arabia's passion to get lost in a faraway place.

Sydney in general is eclectic. You can be on that brilliant blue ocean walk in the morning and then within 20 minutes you can be in a completely vast suburban sprawl or an Italian or Asian suburb, and it's that mix of people, it's that melting pot of people that give it its vital personality.

If Paris is a city of lights, Sydney is the city of fireworks.

I never see things I make in the same way that the audience does. You can never do that.

I mean the future has become old fashioned.
