I'm a Sydney suburban boy shaped entirely by the western suburbs.

I simply went down there to catch up with an old mate of mine, who owns the place. He's the one who wrote the book on the place, but no, no movie, just a beer.

When you live in a place, you're not just taking from it, you're contributing to it. In America I would never be able to make myself a person who could contribute. I wasn't interested in that society; I was interested in this society.

Never tell tales about a woman. No matter how far away she is, shell always hear you.

I wanted to be an actor, and when that day happened that was sort of like the end. Now let it take me.

You know, I stumble about what I'm going to do. I don't plan. I've never had ambitions.

It costs a lot of money to release a movie. What you'd call art-house movies - movies that don't have big stars or big budgets - they're very hard for distributors to get behind 'em and take chances.
