"We look at the world once in childhood, the rest is memory.
"

"As far back as I can remember it’s just been about making pictures - for better or worse, that’s what it’s always been for me."

"If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else."

"I am passionate about our Australian screen heritage, and I’m aware of how fragile it is."

"If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original, because there's no one else like you."

"In storytelling, there has to be a truth.  Even if its fictitious it has to be truthful to what you feel and who you are."

"In fashion you have to have dreams."

"I had an obsessive interest in telling stories from a very early age."

"I was born Australian, but I'm more Francis Bacon than Mel Gibson - who is the antithesis of me.  Actually, I always wanted to be the Mick Jagger of cinema - but I think I'm more Keith Richards, by force of habit perhaps."

"It’s about space and light, an interesting relationship with the landscape and a connection to the land."

"No, I don’t like having my photo taken. I like being in charge. I don’t like being told what to do."

"I just started making little movies at night in my bedroom."

"More is never enough."

"Swimming is less a simple asylum from the world and more a heightened reminder of my place in it."

"It was an unspoken agreement - we just knew that one day when we did it, it would be together."

"I’m combining gritty realism with something more surreal and hallucinatory."

"My fate was to be a caretaker of stories."

"I was interested in the dandy and the absurdity of masculinity."

"I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I was just enjoying exploring."

"I’m not trying to change the world, I’m just reacting to the world that is trying to change me."

"There are events and situations that stay with us forever. Some things I've recently read and thought about have brought back memories that I see hold particular significance for me as a musician and artist to this day."

"Sensuality imbued with a shameless search for pleasure.  A frank, forthright, unaffected search.
  The art or pleasure of being in the world."
