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

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

I've always been involved in the visual arts and music.

I found that it wasn't so oddball to like music and poetry and visual arts, they're kindred spirits.

If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and the rock industry, we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race.

It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.
