I suffer much less than many of my colleagues. I am perfectly able to go to Australia and film within three hours of arrival.
When America stopped importing from China, China stopped importing from the rest of the world. This affects Asian countries as well as Australia, Brazil, and other suppliers of raw materials.
Of course we have Queen Elizabeth as head of state, but in many ways we are a kind of republic. We don't have royals in Australia, so it was kind of unusual to run into those kind of people. But aside from that it was quite ordinary.
Australia has always encouraged the little bloke to have a go, the Aussie battler to get up.
I truly love Australia; I miss Aussie kids and their attitude!
The most impactful dollars that Australia can spend are actually what goes to help the poorest.
Contemporary bands often will do tour-only releases pressed and sold only in Australia. Crikey!
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.
Australia is not a safe place.
When the first humans reached Australia about 45,000 years ago, they quickly drove to extinction 90% of its large animals. This was the first significant impact that Homo sapiens had on the planet's ecosystem. It was not the last.
I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.
The floods and fires and storms and droughts that Australia has suffered in the last few years have left no doubt in many Australians' minds about just how much is a stake in a super-heated world.
I love to fish offshore for billfish, and have fished all over for them from the Bahamas, St. Thomas, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico to the Texas gulf. I haven't made it to Australia yet, but someday I'm going.
When I was about 14, my family emigrated from England to Australia, and we decided to stop in Bali on the way through.
Although we had been led to believe our mission was suicidal, Russia's intrigue was irresistible. Almost twice the size of Australia, it spans 11 time zones from the Baltic to the Pacific.
A collection of huts surrounded by a barbed wire fence, and in the huts lived 500 of the original inhabitants of our area. And so it went with many country towns around Australia.
Australia is my favorite place to visit. The fans are great, and the sport of bodybuilding is huge.
There's very little bohemia in Australia and it's one of the things I miss most about not living in Europe.
Tender Mercies is a very low-budget film, but it was a huge budget compared to anything I had done in Australia. My fee for Tender Mercies was something like five times all of my Australian films combined.
I love all kinds of insects, and I've heard Australia has some really interesting bugs.
