I feel really qualified to write about Australia.
In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.
I made publicity contracts with Nike, several broadcasting companies and airline companies within Australia.
In primary school, I was bored witless by Australian history.
Yaron has elevated the way Australia perceives circus, both nationally and internationally ... I mean remarkable.
There's not a long, entrenched tradition of theatergoing in Australia.
His [Gough Whitlam's] effect on the geo-cultural-political map of Australia is so vast that wherever you stick the pin in you get a wealth of Gough's legacy.
When Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark came out, I got to go to Japan and Australia and France, Italy, Germany, everywhere with the movie. That was great, because I love traveling.
It's unfortunate, I've been the victim of some Australian press.
Australia's massive. I don't have a lot of downtime.
I'm sure that there are places in the deserts in Australia that could be similar to where we might want to go on Mars.
In Australia, they set up a special fund to kick films off. It was quite an enlightened sort of move. You could go to this government bureau with scripts and and get finance for films.
It's always a fine line. If you overdo (aggression) it's 'ugly Australians', but if you have a smile on your face it's Australia being too nice.
And also it was a process of, we lifted weights as well, in an effort to train my body to then be able to lift heavier weights when I got in Australia. So that was the first couple of months.
I went to Tokyo three years ago. It was a job, though. I did an ad campaign for IBM, so they flew me out there to take pictures of me. It was IBM Global. It went to Australia, France, London, all over the world. But I think the ad campaign was a failure, because of me.
[ Rajiv Gandhi] was very reflective and rueful and regretful about the fact that his children's education...He wanted them to get educated outside of India, but he said to me the only place that he found where they would be safe was in Russia, and he didn't really want them to be educated there! So, I said, "Well, send them to Australia. I'll look after them." And my security bloke went absolutely bloody bananas, and I said, "We'll look after them." But, in the end, he didn't send them.
I read the Phantom comics when I was in Australia shooting 'Dead Calm'' and when one of the crew told me that there were plans for a movie, I went for it. That was in 1987 and I told (producer) Graham Burke I was going to be the Phantom. We had a laugh about that recently because you usually get what you deserve, not what you desire, and that is especially true in Hollywood!
In Australia, everyone gets a nickname and people started calling me "Izzy" and I hated it so I just adopted Bella.
He described to me how crocodiles kill more people than sharks. There are just a lot of things in Australia that can kill you.
The US and Australia have a lot in common. One of the things we have in common is we produce a lot of carbon.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing, but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.
I've been to Australia a couple of times, but never to the north or the centre. I would love to see Ayers Rock.
In 1975 Australia was producing things like Picnic at Hanging Rock, in other words films that I would consider still some of the finest products to come out of Australia. I think that our quality now is less than it was then.
Glenn McGrath had a reasonable career in Australia.
