Some people would say I've made it now.

I have a sort of long-term plan to direct. I'm pragmatic about it. I realize I don't need to rush it or force it.

My life at the moment is a bit like my wardrobe. Organised chaos.

Id love to work with the people who really got the film industry going again through the 70s: Peter Weir, Bruce Beresford, Gillian Armstrong, Fred Schepisi.

Australia is a phenomenally beautiful country, and every time I go away and come back, it never ceases to amaze me.

I would love to direct a feature and have Robert Connolly produce it. That would be really fab.

In all honesty, if somebody asked me the secret of auditioning for Americans, I don't know. Often, I do what's called self-taping for America. I go over there quite a lot to sit in a room and do stuff in front of people. You feel like a performing monkey. It's bizarre.
