What I appreciated was the fact that the script delved into how Australians were - and still are - condescended to by the English.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The English probably do that wordplay kind of humour and whimsy better than anyone, and I've always felt that my writing goes more to that than what I did when I came to Australia.
I just think Australia tends to make very good movies, so if someone hands me an Australian or an American film script I would guess the Australian film would be more intriguing.
Australians are geniuses with a good sense of humour.
I thought I was clever by greeting casting agents in my Australian accent and then switching to an American one during the performance. But the Australian accent seemed to put them off. Now it's the opposite; they love Australians. And with my thick Californian accent I now have a problem convincing them I'm Australian.
Australians have a fantastic sense of humour and incredible taste. I was there for 'Bend It Like Beckham,' and I had a great time. Aussies loved it, and I think 'Bride & Prejudice' is going to do well, too, because it's all about having a good time.
I can hardly understand the Australian accent.
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Australians have a free spirit and an ability to think outside the box, and that is why I like Australia so much.
Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?
I no longer knew what it was like to feel Australian.
