* On women in Australia: “Australian men maybe set the pace for Australian women because they’re very strong. . . . I think they’re built like modern Vikings. Not all of them, but a lot. . . . So the Australian women are dealing with a strong animal there. Look at our [male] symbols . . . like Mel Gibson and Paul Hogan. These are quintessential Australian men. . . . It’s a very male-dominated country, so the women have to be strong.” (as told to Entertainment Asylum)
