Find your own specific voice in filmmaking and go for it. Either people will get it or they won't and that's what it's all about.

All the jokes in my films, the comedy, they're not me, I just try to hold a big mirror up to us.

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

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

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.

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

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