More quotes by Baz Luhrmann
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.

My wife is the fact-checker, I'm in the story telling business.
Baz Luhrmann
It's pretty hard to get mugged in Manhattan.

The food in Sydney is an Asian Pacific cuisine. It's eclectic but above all it's fresh, inventive and creative and that's what I love about it.
Baz Luhrmann
I feel like a member of any group comprised of outsiders.
Baz Luhrmann
One of the great things about Sydney is that it has a great acceptance of everyone and everything. It's an incredibly tolerant city, a city with a huge multicultural basis.
Baz Luhrmann
I grew up around jazz. I love jazz.
Baz Luhrmann
I do find walking is fundamental to my creative process.
Baz Luhrmann
In terms of the mechanics of story, myth is an intriguing one because we didn't make myth up myth is an imprinture of the human condition.
Baz Luhrmann
In the '60s not everybody was wearing flowers in their hair and flowing caftans.
