Australians just don't see that many Australian films, but it's also our responsibility as filmmakers and the responsibility of the funding bodies to remember that audiences want to be entertained, and people are entertained in lots of different ways.
The American films just have so much more publicity and so much more money behind them that it's so hard to compete.
I think you're just always trying to find really great, interesting female roles. That's the thing for me. You do have to think about what you're signing up for.
You can always find ways to make it different, as long as it's a really well-written script and well-written character.
I think that's all just a bit of luck that I've gotten to do such different stuff. I don't know if it's a good thing to not do something, just 'cause it's too similar to what you've done.
