I grew up on cricket and I think Australian kids are getting so Americanized, you know?
From Rachel Griffiths
We've got our football where no one wears anything and the guys are in little shorts and they beat the crap out of each other, and they can catch it and they can kick it, and it's the only place it's played in the world.
A Golden Globe is a mood-altering substance, there's no doubt about that.
It was a lovely opportunity for the first time in my whole career to stand up and thank people who are really responsible for me getting to realize my dreams.
I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.
I just don't see where I could possibly fit in directing a feature.
Why movies are so powerful is because you are right in there and you stay in there until they want you to come out, and then you've really gone somewhere.
I'm quite intuitive about what I pick. Often it's to do with what I've just done and how I'm feeling.
I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama.
