Chrissie Swan

And what was your answer?

It was really hard for me to answer and eventually she just lost interest waiting.

She was like, God, it was just a conversation.

You don't have to, like, you know, deliberate for this long.

And I'm like, no, because I really want to answer it properly.

And I said, I think...

I would go the 80s in America, you know, back to the future time.

John Hughes era.

Yeah, yeah.

And I think that's probably because, you know, obviously I was around at that time, believe it or not, and the world was so much bigger.

We were so far away here in Australia.

The media wasn't shared.

I had to save up my pocket money and buy air freight magazines, smash hits from the UK.

Somebody would go to London and bring back neon nail polish from Miss Selfridges and it was just like, what is this?

It was just like...

Amazing to think that there was a whole other world that we only ever saw on MTV or in magazines.

And we felt so far away and so backward and so less than.

And plane travel was so expensive.

I mean, it was just like this fantasy land.

So I think all our movies were from America.
