I don't despair about the cultural scene in Australia because there isn't one to despair about.

I think you can be contemporary without taking your clothes off.

The trouble with nude dancing is that not everything stops when the music stops.

I was always nervous about coming back to Australia which was a complete hangover of the days when I left when ballet was not accepted, when I was not accepted, when I was considered a freak for wanting to be a ballet dancer. And, to be 100% honest, I rather dreaded coming back.

And I saw Australia anew through her eyes. And I realised what a tremendously thrilling country it was. And ever since then I have been coming back regularly.

I don't despair about the cultural scene in Australia because there isn't one to despair about.

Aren't all ballets sexy? I think they should be. I can think of nothing more kinky than a prince chasing a swan around all night.
