Aussie Quotations

We are always going to be influenced by America... I watched the word 'bum' go out and 'butt' come in. And part of me says, oh that's a shame, but Aussie boys are still Aussie boys.

Hugh Jackman really inspired me as a kid. He's a cool Aussie guy who works very hard, and he's a fantastic actor. Obviously, he keeps really fit. He seems like he's happy acting. Who knows if he really is, but he gives you that impression.

I am really looking forward to sinking my teeth into a new challenge. In the short space of time that I have been here I am impressed by what I have seen. It is a world apart from Aussie rules, but I am looking forward to working with the players on improving their physical capacity.

I can't imagine it's good for any currency but the Aussie and kiwi dollars bear the brunt of global risk events,

From everything I can read about Aussie spiders, it seems like all they really like doing is hiding in your house or garden or car until you 'accidentally' disturb them - probably by doing something crazy like putting on the shoe they are lurking in - and they can officially bite you to pieces.

Basically, the old Aussie dollar took a dump and it was down to 54 cents when I bought it, and now it's back to 75 or 76. I've already made enough on it, and I'll hold on to it. It's one of those investments that I lucked into.

Going into at least January, you would expect the Fed to take rates to 4.5 per cent in the US, possibly up to 4.75 per cent by March. If that's the case, then the US dollar is more likely to rally . . . over . . . the next three to six months than decline, so the Aussie is going to be under pressure.

I went into Aussie tour school as a part-time golfer who had no real understanding of the game except at club level,

Mark's always going to be dangerous in any tournament - especially on hard courts or grass, in the Aussie Open, the US Open, or Wimbledon more so,

It is amazing that it is my destiny to be the first Aussie to win the Masters.

We're all happy to have a little Aussie prince,

We did speak to Aussie Stadium after full-time and it became apparent that it would be impossible to move the game.

I speak with a Northern Irish accent with a tinge of New York. My wife has a bit of a Boston accent; my oldest daughter talks with a Denver accent, and my youngest has a true blue Aussie accent. It's complicated.

The slump in commodity prices is having a negative impact on the Australian dollar. Sentiment has turned more bearish on the Aussie and we are likely to see it fall further at the start of next week.

I've never seen an Aussie team put down so many catches and the batsmen need to start to hunt as a pack.

So what's your plan? You take the big dark one, I'll take the little girl, and the Aussie will run like a scared wombat if things get tough.

Aussie Stadium can never again claim to care about league fans.

There's no way I would have won the title - I would have been wiped off the floor in the quarter-finals by my fellow Aussie Anthony Ricketts.

I've got one Aussie flag on the side of my car. It would be nice to have two.

I have never seen an Aussie team put down so many catches, and the batsmen really need to start to hunt as a pack.

The Aussie got up towards the 76 US cents level and then up around those levels we did have quite a deal of importer-related selling,

The Aussie has benefited from higher energy prices because it is negative for the U.S. as a net energy importer. In a general sense, the high oil price is helping the Australian dollar.

The Aussie players are going to want to play in front of Australians. We confidently expect that most people in the stands will be Australians barracking for Australia. That's the way it should be, because it's our country.

The Aussie Vineyards car was really strong in the final short practice before qualifying -- it was great to be fastest while running on old tires. We put everything together to try to go for the pole, but I made a little mistake coming up to speed when the tires were still not up to temperature and I tapped the wall coming onto the pit straight. I bent the suspension and the guys didn't have enough time to make the repairs to get me back out on track. I feel pretty sad although it is probably my first mistake of the year. It is probably worse for me because it happened here at my home track.

Everyone feels pressure, it's how you deal with it that's important. It's very unusual for Aussie teams to have a losing streak like this, so you want to snap out of it.

It's captured the imagination. You have to earn respect and the England players earned the Aussie respect over the summer,

Hopefully if he can work and put his head down, if he can sort of bounce back and get the crowd behind him and play some good tennis at the Aussie Open, that could set up a bit of a change in the rankings next year.

The euro dropped significantly against the US dollar and that has dragged the Aussie significantly lower as well.

The first couple of matches we played, I was one of the top guys and he was on his way up. The last few times, we've both been at the top of the game. The biggest one was probably the Aussie Open semifinal.

For a number of years now in a big picture sense, price action in Aussie seems to lead global growth. There is something like a 12 - 18 month lag.

It's always good to be at an Aussie event.

They're getting a bit of stick from the Aussie media back home,
