With 'Snowtown,' you either love it or you hate it; there's no middle ground. So I've come to understand and appreciate that's the kind of film that it is.

I'd said no to directing 'Snowtown' a few times and was quite scared of it, but I saw a story there that was worth telling.

It's got more cosmopolitan, and it's lost its uniqueness, but Australia is still a great place.

What happened in Snowtown was repeated many times in history, in a big scale and a small scale.

There is no place in the world like Australia. Not even its beautiful neighbor New Zealand.

I had an interest in Scandinavian countries because I'd never seen snow.

I think Australia is just a great place to bring up a family.

Fifty years ago people were talking about Sydney's sprawl, but nobody does anything about it.

I think Melbourne is by far and away the most interesting place in Australia, and I thought if I ever wrote a novel or crime novel of any kind, I had to set it here.

I grew up in Chicago, and there was always snow. In Los Angeles there never was, so we would always import snow!
