Zitate und Sprüche von Baz Luhrmann

Wenn Paris die Stadt der Lichter ist, dann ist Sydney die Stadt des Feuerwerks.

If Paris is a city of lights, Sydney is the city of fireworks.

Sydney ist wie ein arroganter Liebhaber. Wenn es regnet, verwehrt die Stadt einem ihre Liebe. Sie ist kein Ort, der für Regen oder Kälte gebaut wurde. Aber sobald die Sonne scheint, öffnet sie ihre Augen, ist glamourös, wunderschön, attraktiv, klug und lässt einen nicht mehr aus ihrem Bann.

Sydney is rather like an arrogant lover. When it rains it can deny you its love and you can find it hard to relate to. It's not a place that's built to be rainy or cold. But when the sun comes out, it bats its eyelids, it's glamorous, beautiful, attractive, smart, and it's very hard to get away from its magnetic pull.

The party is a true art form in Sydney and people practise it a great deal. You can really get quite lost in it.

I've tried to make 'Strictly Ballroom' impossible to date. It does feel a bit '80s but I consciously made sure there was no technology in the movie that could date it.

Sydney in general is eclectic. You can be on that brilliant blue ocean walk in the morning and then within 20 minutes you can be in a completely vast suburban sprawl or an Italian or Asian suburb, and it's that mix of people, it's that melting pot of people that give it its vital personality.
