australian celebrate comedies coming culture factory industry olympics trash trying
It's not the Olympics that are the problem, it's these big, horrible, formula, factory American comedies that are out there bashing our tiny, little film industry and when you're trying to celebrate the Australian culture you've got all this trash coming in there.
mirrors trying comedy
All the jokes in my films, the comedy, they're not me, I just try to hold a big mirror up to us.
biggest country entertainment greatest industry
It would probably be the greatest industry this country could ever have because entertainment is the biggest thing in the world.
against enemy happens people
But what happens is that people try set us (the film makers) against each other, and yet the enemy is outside.
crazy fantastic kinda
We (Australians) are kinda crazy and we like to go on these fantastic rides.
business government guess leadership people running time
We live in a time where government is not a leadership thing, it's more a business that's out there and running riot, so I guess the people have to go out there and say stuff.
build culture identical love next people
They had to build an identical one next to it, and that's because people want their own culture and when you give it to them they love it.

As director I got to vacuum the crew bedrooms, as producer I carried out the garbage.

Australian kids could then grow up and love their own culture and not have to love Hollywood or Disneyland culture.

I think we have an optimistic view of the world. I think we're a very positive race, and I think we're very egalitarian - we give everyone a fair go.
australian crisis field level needs playing
I think we (the Australian film industry) is always in crisis but I think there needs to be a level playing field in which to make our films, which there isn't.
australian control creative kept original resolve resulted staunch
By staunch resolve we'd kept creative control all the way which resulted in an original movie with a contemporary Australian voice.
years worry cinema
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.
ideas giving creative
I just wanted to do this all Australian film and we didn't want to give creative control to overseas 'cause whoever comes on my sets, whether you're sweeping the floor or an actor, it doesn't matter who comes up with the ideas, it's a collaboration.
