People who say, 'There's nothing to fear from spiders' have clearly never been to Australia.
I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.
Happiness is fleeting - I think that's the main lesson I have learned.
Australia is a remarkable country with incredible technical and physical resources and a capacity to be a world leader in renewables.
I care about climate change because of our children. I want to safeguard their future.
Those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences - they are not. Audiences want to see them and, in fact, they earn money. The world is round, people.
