We've got so many stories to tell, you know, we could take on the world.

It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.

So we have to be careful because if you don't protect your culture you won't have it for very long.

Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.

There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them.

The obsession required to see a feature through from concept to release is not a rational thing to do with your brief time on this planet. Nor is it something to which an intelligent person should aspire.

We cheer everyone who goes off to Hollywood and tells American stories but telling Australian stories is the greatest thing you can do.
