What's fascinating about the Australians is they have this quality that they are impervious to majesty. They're not awed.

I have always been attracted to Australians and Australia.

I've been all different shapes and sizes in my lifetime. I started wearing shapewear as a teenager after I did 'Australian Idol.' I had a little tummy, and I was always really quite conscious of that.

I'm half Greek, half Australian.

I'm not too fond of the typical Australian activities or culture. I'm not into surfing - that's what I'm trying to say.

I do have a lot of Australian friends.

I'd love to be on an Australian show and in Australian cinemas - they've really picked up their game.

There are a thousand weird untold stories in the Australian film industry, this has been one of them.

Australians are hungry for sport. They love it. They're addicted to it.

Every impression that I do is just a terrible variation on an awful Bill Cosby impression. You're doing an Australian accent, but it's just Australian Bill Cosby; or that's just British Bill Cosby; that's Pirate Bill Cosby.

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

In some ways, Australian fans are more dedicated and more enthusiastic than some of our most loyal fans in the U.S.

I can hardly understand the Australian accent.

Yeah, I came over to Cambridge with 500 quid in my pocket and I had to borrow a waistcoat off another Australian player. I couldn't afford to buy one.

My father was Australian.

Often, Americans think any northern English accent is Australian.

When you're young you're influenced by the best teams. So a lot of my favourite cricketers were Australian.

None of the serious maritime incidents I had to deal with as transport minister off the pristine Queensland or Western Australian coastline involved an Australian flagged and crewed vessel.

It's hard to describe the work of the British-born Australian writer Elizabeth Jolley without somewhat misrepresenting it.

I'll be the first Australian to compete in the WWE.
