In a kind of a way there's a bit of that happening now so we have to be careful to preserve our culture.

So we have to be careful because if you don't protect your culture you won't have it for very long.

I kind of worry about that a little bit - we lost our film culture for 30 years because the Americans came in and bought up all the cinema chains and wouldn't show any Australian films.

Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now.

I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun.

It's because we are so flooded with American culture that we're startled when we see ourselves up there on the screen.
