The American formula things are out there but they don't have any stories to tell - we have all the stories to tell - but they're all formula.

In a kind of a way there's a bit of that happening now so we have to be careful to preserve our culture.

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

While the eyes of the world will be on us let's show everyone that we have a great sense of humour.

It was always easy for me. I was born very rich and lucky.

Australians don't have a preconceived notion of what things have to be... we can go on a fantastic journey.

I support all Australian films.
