I Wouldn't Take A Directing Job If

Having Grown Up Far, Far Away In A Small Country Town In Australia, I Was Only Slightly Aware Of Hip-hop.

In 1977, Hip-hop Literally Wasn't Outside The Boroughs. But I Was Profoundly Aware Of The City Through Films Like Saturday Night Fever, The French Connection, And Network. I Had A Friend Who Visited New York, And I Asked Him What It Was Like. He Said, "oh, It's Great. Just Wear A Coat And Don't Look Anyone In The Eye."

Fitzgerald Coined The Phrase The 'jazz Age,' And Now We're Living In The Hip-hop Age.

One Of The Great Things About Sydney Is That It Has A Great Acceptance Of Everyone And Everything. It's An Incredibly Tolerant City, A City With A Huge Multicultural Basis.

A Life Lived In Fear Is A Life Half Lived.
