In 1905 Albert discovered Relativity, in 1906 he invented Rock and Roll.

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.

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

Now both my films have been number one at the Australian box office and it took about two years just to get the finance for this film, so if it's hard for me then God help everyone else.

I support all Australian films.

Movies are usually difficult, often insane, constantly challenging and always strangely amusing to make.

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