The American formula things are out there but they don't have any stories to tell - we have all the stories to tell - but they're all formula.

The American formula things are out there but they don't have any stories to tell - we have all the stories to tell - but they're all formula.

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.

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

We cheer everyone who goes off to Hollywood and tells American stories but telling Australian stories is the greatest thing you can do.

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