Zitat des Tages über australisch / Australian:

I try to use the Australian idiom to its maximum advantage. Paul Keating

I don't know, maybe Australian humour isn't supposed to be funny. It's as dry as the Sahara, and I think people miss that.

Nick Cave

Supposedly I've got traces of an English accent, though I can't hear it. I must have inherited it from my mother, who's English, and then I think it was exacerbated by the fact that I live with an Australian.

Lev Grossman

And I grew up watching all the British ones so when you hear that from an early age, it makes it much easier than you guys who don't grow up with Australian television or British television.

Rachel Griffiths

I do notice that when I come in to meet casting people, they love that I'm Australian. Maybe it's our good work ethic.

Rebel Wilson

I am not deeply involved in Australian politics but I know there are prime ministers, governments around the world who are not acting responsibly in relation to climate change.

Jane Goodall

An education system where student selection is based on credit capacity and not merit capacity and where graduating students are no longer indebted to the nation, but increasingly indebted to the Australian Taxation Office - that's no way to improve the quality of education.

Gough Whitlam

When you arrive in L.A. as an Englishman, you might as well be on the moon. People just don't understand you if you speak too fast, and most people there think you're Australian. Ordering was incredibly complicated. I was speechless.

Ben Chaplin

I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.

Rachel Griffiths

I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content.

Arthur Boyd

'Australian Rules' was my moment of truth.

Nathan Phillips

Our South Australian farmers left their holdings in the hands of their wives and children too young to take with them, but almost all of them returned to grow grain and produce to send to Victoria.

Catherine Helen Spence

You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.

Steve Irwin

I feel like I've been marinated in Australian theatre.

Cate Blanchett

'Shantaram' is fantastic. An Australian prisoner escapes & joins the mafia in India? Sign me up. I love stuff that is based on true stories.

Hasan Minhaj

I will always come back to do Australian films. I think it matters. I think we can make films that people go and see. And I don't think it's too much to ask that films in this country make a profit and that we embrace them.

Josh Lawson

From the age of 8, I was running media campaigns on global issues back home in Australia. I was ever so slightly precocious. I would meet with senior Australian government officials, including the prime minister and foreign minister, proposing various solutions to third-world debt and malnutrition.

Jeremy Heimans

If 30 Australians drowned in Sydney Harbour, it would be a national tragedy. But when 30 or more refugees drown off the Australian coast, it is a political question.

Richard Flanagan

It's Australian to do such things because, however uncivilised they may seem, it's human to do them.

Hugh Mackay

If you want to go and build a company that exists in Silicon Valley, then you should go and do it there. But if you want to build a company that is Australian, that represents your culture and your being, then you should do it in Sydney.

Harper Reed

I'd have to fight for an Australian role over an American actor, and I already have to do that overseas, so why would I have to do it back at home?

Bojana Novakovic

My husband is Australian, and my family is scattered around the U.K. and France mostly, but we try to get a big group together for the holidays.

Darcey Bussell

I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.

Nick Cave

I try to use the Australian idiom to its maximum advantage.

Paul Keating

I still, by and large, make low-budget Australian films.

Hugo Weaving

Both my parents are English and came out to Australia in 1967. I was born the following year. My parents, and immigrants like them, were known as '£10 poms.' Back then, the Australian government was trying to get educated British people and Canadians - to be honest, educated white people - to come and live in Australia.

Hugh Jackman

I was offered and accepted a part in 'A Few Best Men,' and then the Australian actor's union argued that there were too many British actors. And the director decided to lose me.

Noel Clarke

I do greatly admire Australian artists.

Jeffrey Archer

Can you imagine what it would be like if all the Aussie film talent was able to make Australian stories?

Yahoo Serious

In Australian culture, people are just more laid back, people aren't as serious, they just take their time with things. It's just like, whatever, if I don't get it done I don't get it done.

Andrew Bogut

The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother's convenience.

Tony Abbott

I'm definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.

Isla Fisher

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.

Anthony LaPaglia

I don't know that many Australian actors in Los Angeles, but there are a few of us. I mean, we kind of get together occasionally, but I wouldn't say it's an alliance or anything like that.

Xavier Samuel

I played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.

Emmanuelle Beart

I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean, the clues were in the poems, but they didn't read them very carefully, and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene.

Peter Porter

I still listen to a lot of the classics from Bob Dylan and John Martin, but I love electronic music as well. I'm a big fan of an Australian DJ and producer called Flume, who I think is incredible. He should be more successful in the U.K.!
