Back in Sydney
Today was my second day in Sydney and I went for a long walk around the Sydney Harbour foreshore, falling back in love with this beautiful city. I filmed this in Barangaroo, a former shipping terminal on the edge of the Central Business District which is being converted into a park with the shoreline restored to its pre-settlement contours, which I think is the best thing to happen in Sydney for...

Banksy on Advertising
“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most...

There comes a time
On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” And Vanity comes along and asks the question, “Is it popular?” But Conscience asks the question “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because...

Bobby Kennedy announcing MLKs assassination
It being Martin Luther King Jr. Day I wanted to re-watching this speak, which I think is one of the greatest and most moving speeches given in American history. It was delivered off the cuff, from the heart, Kennedy having just found out the shocking news before arriving at the rally in Indianapolis, and while rioting then broke out in 60 cities that night Indianapolis remained peaceful, a fact...
