Moving to Australia was not a career move, but a quality of life issue. It has no guns, no God, and no gangster rap. As an Ethiopian cab driver said to me the other day when I was returning from a gig in Sydney, Australia is a peaceful, democratic place. I like the relatively stress free lifestyle. It’s worth the drop in income Picture Quote #1

Well, I’m very dyslexic, so I can’t read music. It means I never know where I’m at so it’s different every single time. I know when it works though. I might end up doing a bosa nova version of Bad Day when I get to Australia! Picture Quote #1

I got to work with [Carlos] Santana, who’s been my idol forever. When I was 18, I got up with him in Australia and jammed with him. That was an amazing moment because I got up in front of my hometown crowd Picture Quote #1

The only thing to be said for air travel is speed. It makes possible travel on a scale unimaginable before our present age.

Even in Australia I’d say 80 percent of our television was American. I grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone. I used to sit with my mum when I was just nine years old, trying to guess what the twist would be. I love that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

Every country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner Picture Quote #1

When I was 7, I went to school in Switzerland because everyone on my mom’s side of the family lives there. Then we were back in Australia, in Queensland.

I hate the feeling when I’m overseas, away from Australia, that I’m trapped, blocked by an ocean from getting to the people I love. That gives me anxiety Picture Quote #1

In the U.S. there are many people willing to work on $9 per hour, which is causing Tasmania to lose its famous apple industry and Australia to import more and more of its fruit and food from lower cost countries. In fact, all over Australia there are warning signs of us killing or restricting our own industries Picture Quote #1

In Australia, there aren’t a lot of people committed to art, so these communities form that are dedicated to music, theater, cinema, but they’re very small. So, they tend to move ahead on the power of collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity Picture Quote #1
