In Australia, I grew up watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club,' my son grew up watching 'Sesame Street,' my grandson's growing up watching 'Dora The Explorer.' So we are sort of saturated with American culture from the day we're born, and to those of those who do have an ear for it, it's second nature.

When you question this war on poverty, you get all the criticisms from adherents to the status quo who just don't want to see anything change.

Geoffrey Rush
