“I cooked, which was pretty un-Australian. And I didn't really like Aus...” — John Torode Quote

“I cooked, which was pretty un-Australian. And I didn't really like Australian music... I preferred the New Romantics and punk and stuff like that.”

“Sunday lunch should be about sociability, about conversation, about general stimulation and the education of the youth.”

“What I'm trying to do as an Australian is to say to people, 'You've got to go back out to Australia,' because there are rural communities that really rely upon tourism to continue to go.”

“It's an Australian thing to be dismissive. We find that endearing. Americans don't. They believe what you say.”

“I stress the uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its metaphysical and mythic content.”

“If government and media and all of us in the Australian tribe got together, and the rock industry, we'd just be the greatest cultural force the world has ever seen - we're such an amazing race.”
