“I've always been asked the question, "What is it with Australian men?" It's weird because most of my friends here [in the United States] are American men. I think there's cultural differences. It's a really American thing to kind of wax your chest. As a man it's like, "Get rid of that unsightly hair!" In Australia it's like, "Mate, what are you doing? Why would you do that? Doesn't that hurt?" So there's a few little differences that keep us.” ThinkingMenKindLittlesStatesDifferencesHurtUnitedUnited StatesHairMy FriendsAustraliaChestsMatesAustralianCultural Differences Author:Jennifer Lopez
“I came to The United States to see what would happen in 2000 after working for 20 years in Australia and asked my agent to look out for the nasty roles because I'd become famous for playing the nicest man in Australia.

But I've been doing that now for 13 years so when I was offered the chance to do some comedy, I grabbed it.” MenYearsLooksStatesPlayHappensWantedGuyChanceUnitedRolesUnited StatesComedyAgentsAustraliaNastyBad Guys Author:Alan Dale

“I'm popular in the United States and I'm popular in England. England is just more concentrated. The people are closer together. Venues are closer together. Many albums of mine have been popular in England, but, no hit singles. All the hit singles I had were before I went to England. So, I'm not necessarily more popular in England, I'm just popular in England, and more so for my performances than hit records. But, I enjoy doing concert halls all over America, England, Scotland and Australia.” PeopleHas BeensStatesTogetherAmericaEnjoyUnitedUnited StatesRecordsMinesPerformancesEnglandAlbumsAustraliaHallsConcertsScotlandSinglesVenues Author:Jack Jones
