I would never do a sexist script.
From Gillian Armstrong
Australia is much more liberal in accepting de facto relationships than the U.S.
When I was a young filmmaker starting out, I was really snobby about all the affirmative action for women filmmakers because I felt it should be about your talent, and I made a film that won awards, and people wanted me.
We need more drama on Australian TV. We've actually dropped the ball on that.
It's really actually been pretty shoddy and appalling, the amount of local content, Australian drama, on ABC TV.
I have worked with some of the most amazing costume designers in the world.
Australia has produced amazing costume designers that are unheralded.
I was a young film student around the time of the new wave in film in the 1970s; old Hollywood was naff and over. For me, as a film student, I was going to see French and Italian cinema; American cinema was 'Easy Rider' and 'Taxi Driver.' Everything was gritty.
Cable television stations in America are now producing such smart, in-depth, non-formula, character-based dramas. Film has turned more and more into big action or cartoons.
I do think the moral line you walk all the time about putting something in for the sake of the film and not being affected by people's lives is a very tough one.
