"Film gives us a second chance at a first impression."
"The things that I've done that have totally been remembered, they've always started with the same kind of engine, they've always started with someone saying 'I have to make this film - I'm going to make this film whatever the odds'."
"Working on such a big film was amazing. I learned a lot. There weren't too many stunts, just some doubling."

"We're under the Arts Council under the Minister for the Arts. The Minister for the Arts and the Minister for Industrial Development have great difficulty in agreeing over who should fund what in terms of film."
"We are here predominantly to support independent filmmakers and their needs. We are also here to assist people actually in their production, non-commercial people in their production."
"They will open up to what I would call corporate broadcastings where the non-commercial material will have air time. There's no possibility of that here right now, none."
"We probably do not have a large enough industry here to ably support the independent filmmaker to move in and out. Much of the industry is based on full-time jobs here, institutionalised jobs."
"Most independent filmmakers in Britain and North America work for commercial crews and then have their own projects when they've got enough money saved up to do so."
"The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base."
"The more commercial work that is happening, the more people are operating cameras and are setting up studio lights, the greater the opportunity for drama production to happen."
"I think the long-term effect of video on cinema is good in that what we are now getting up there on the screen is of superior quality. Videos are just so much more sensitive to the world."
"All the arts are predominantly national, and therefore the Australian Film Commission should be funding us. The battle gets more and more vicious each year."
