"We've got so many stories to tell, you know, we could take on the world"
About this Quote
Coming from Yahoo Serious, the subtext is inseparable from the mythology of the outsider filmmaker who briefly cracked the global market with distinctly Australian, cheerfully anachronistic comedy. His persona and work traded on the idea that local weirdness can travel, that a regional accent and a goofy sensibility aren’t liabilities but export goods. So the line functions as both rallying cry and self-mythmaking: if the industry gatekeepers won’t grant you legitimacy, you declare your own, powered by narrative abundance.
The intent, then, is less about domination than permission - a statement to collaborators (and maybe to himself) that scale isn’t reserved for the already-crowned. In a media landscape that often treats “worldwide” as synonymous with “homogenized,” it argues the opposite: the world can be taken on by being specific, prolific, and unapologetically odd.
