There were movies that always made me want to be a director. You see brilliant scenes and the way the emotions were handled. I thought, I`d really like to do that.
Tender Mercies is a very low-budget film, but it was a huge budget compared to anything I had done in Australia. My fee for Tender Mercies was something like five times all of my Australian films combined.
There`s a bright spot in every dark cloud.
