It's not a country of articulate people, sophisticated people. There's too little subtlety. Men and women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still.

I've never worked for the sake of working. There's probably enough crap out there for me not to add to it.

My Brilliant Career was beautifully directed, but I had a bit of trouble with myself in it. It was a silly script, based on a book this 16-year-old girl wrote.

Judy Garland was just so delicious in every way and just so honest and generous.

A lot of really good directors have a killer in them, as if they'd do anything to get that image. But that comes with the terrain and I don't mind it.

Know that you can make a difference in the world by being true to yourself, and moving in the direction of your dreams!

This is government. There is no entertainment.
