America is different to everywhere.
I simply went down there to catch up with an old mate of mine, who owns the place. He's the one who wrote the book on the place, but no, no movie, just a beer.
It's a different ball game these days, but you're never going to get rid of corruption as long as there's power and money.
Oh yeah. I'm always dancing on bars. I'm a bloke that loves a drink, and when you're just free and on the loose like we are on films - it happens.
We are always going to be influenced by America... I watched the word 'bum' go out and 'butt' come in. And part of me says, oh that's a shame, but Aussie boys are still Aussie boys.
When you live in a place, you're not just taking from it, you're contributing to it. In America I would never be able to make myself a person who could contribute. I wasn't interested in that society; I was interested in this society.
