If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and the rock industry, we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race.

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

I don't know what it means to be out there against the Olympics.

I kind of worry about that a little bit - we lost our film culture for 30 years because the Americans came in and bought up all the cinema chains and wouldn't show any Australian films.

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

Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?

It's an infinite creative universe to explore so why chase conservative options?
