I really believe musical form will go on. There's got to be a way of making musical form in cinema live again.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

I mean the future has become old fashioned.

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.

So, what is creative freedom? We can make what we want, how we want. The only constraint is: not for any budget.

One of the great things about Sydney is that it has a great acceptance of everyone and everything. It's an incredibly tolerant city, a city with a huge multicultural basis.

I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
