I feel funny about owning art. I dont really want to say: Wow, come and see my Monet – its in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar. – Baz Luhrmann
One of my great all-time loves in cinema, and Ive seen it three times, is Bondarchuks War and Peace. Not a lot of people may have seen that film. It was made during the Soviet era. – Baz Luhrmann
Ive 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. – Baz Luhrmann
Ive always loved the old epics that tell a simple emotional story, whether its the tumultuous relationship between Rhett and Scarlett or Lawrence of Arabias passion to get lost in a faraway place. – Baz Luhrmann
Im a big fan of certain new acts. I love any genre of music, and I think its really great to see that there are new artists coming through. Its kinda funny to think that Im like the old man on campus now. But Im really happy for groups like One Direction. I think theyre really good guys. – Joe Jonas
