Australian Quotes

I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content Picture Quote #1

You see someone on the street wearing an outfit and then it’s on the cover of a magazine. I love. But, you know, I’m Australian, so I’m not too flashy or glitzy Picture Quote #1

I don’t consciously seek out Australian projects. I put them on the same table as all the other scripts and I wouldn’t ever do a film just because it’s been shot at home Picture Quote #1

After I broke the Australian record in 2014, Audi Centre in Canberra gave me a beautiful black A1 with the number plates AI 1111, because the record I broke was 11.11 in the 100 Picture Quote #1

I was born pretty lucky, an Aryan Australian, friendly girl, that gives you a lot of advantages in the world. I was unaware of people’s fights or struggles for equality. I was really naive Picture Quote #1

In terms of being Australian, I think a big part of it is the determination to prove yourself, just like Aussie actors Picture Quote #1

I also love Australian movies. I love Muriel’s Wedding - I’ve seen in six times. Baz Luhrmann’s best movie is strictly ballroom... without question Picture Quote #1

Media were never allowed into an Australian dressing room until I became skipper. I changed that and invited them in at the close of play each day, thereby confirming for many administrators they had appointed a madman as captain Picture Quote #1

The Australian way of affirmative action is setting goals and recognising discrimination and lack of opportunity and deciding to take action and setting some goals and targets. I guess I prefer that language to talking about quotas Picture Quote #1

I think we have to keep working enormously hard to see that every single Indigenous child - every Australian child - has true equality of opportunity. Weve got to work harder at it. I think, you know, the heartland issue for us is the gap; the gap in life expectancy in this country Picture Quote #1

I was offered and accepted a part in ‘A Few Best Men,’ and then the Australian actor’s union argued that there were too many British actors. And the director decided to lose me Picture Quote #1

Tony Abbott might think coal’s good for humanity, of course it was an important driver in the story of the Australian nation. But when we’re talking about the 21st Century and those industries that are gonna take us forward, it won’t be coal Picture Quote #1

The ideas and practices of Franz Anton Mesmer, an 18th-century Australian healer, had spread to the United States and, by the 1840s, held the country in thrall. Mesmer proposed that everything in the universe, including the human body, was governed by a ‘magnetic fluid’ that could become imbalanced, causing illness Picture Quote #1

When I was on ‘Terra Nova’, I had an Australian iPhone and a U.S. iPhone, different time zones, just a couple differences in the machines, but I was able to keep the international aspect of things in order. But I lost my U.S. iPhone right before I left Australia. Somebody’s got it somewhere out there. Send it back? Picture Quote #1

I’m obviously coming out of the Australian summer with amazing momentum, knowing I can pretty much hang in there with anybody and even beat some of the best players. So for me, it’s definitely a good feeling, I think Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Acting for me was hard enough without having to think of the accent. And also, when I was auditioning for stuff I would walk into the room with an Australian accent, and I would do the audition in an American accent, and they would invariably say, ‘Yeah, it’s that good, but I can still hear the oddity coming through.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m an Australian, and when I grew up much of my influences were American - blues music and country music, all that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

Making jokes is about the most wrong and stupid thing a bemused, middle-aged, white heterosexual Anglo Saxon sort of Celt Australian male can do these days Picture Quote #1

And currently, there are four to five new works in the pipeline for upcoming celebrations such as the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Australian Federation, my 50th Birthday, and Sydney Dance Company’s 25th Anniversary Picture Quote #1

Even Australians who take a very, very hard line about asylum seekers - and unfortunately there are more than I would like to think - are probably a bit uncomfortable with the kind of treatment that has been meted out to children in detention by the Australian Government, in their name Picture Quote #1

It’s a fun day, a day which kicks off the start of our tour, it’s got great tradition - Australian cricketers just love tradition - and it’s been a really pleasant day Picture Quote #1

It’s a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It’s been passed down through the generations. It’s the culture of the Australian team Picture Quote #1

When I was 18 years old, I had never before seen Australian film on the big screen Picture Quote #1

The Australian film industry has recognised Tropfest as a place to nurture young talent. It’s a stepping stone between amateur and professional Picture Quote #1

I think, often with Australian films, if an Australian film has been given the seal of approval by an offshore festival or an offshore release, then it does mean a lot to a local audience Picture Quote #1

The Australian film industry is a small industry, so you have to really be flexible within working in different mediums. A lot of actors work in theater, film, and television, because there’s not much opportunity in terms of employment there. So you do have to be resourceful and be able to flex your muscles artistically Picture Quote #1

There’s a bunch of directors that I really admire, and Australian ones as well. It would be nice to do a film at home Picture Quote #1

The goal of Australian foreign policy should be to promote the maximum harmony between the U.S. and China Picture Quote #1

I was lucky enough to be a child during the renaissance of Australian children’s literature, when people like Ivan Southall, Colin Thiele, Lilith Norman and Wrightson were pumping out hugely inspiring stuff Picture Quote #1
