Talking Heads est une émission australienne de la chaine ABC qui propose des entretiens avec diverses personnalités. Voici la retranscription de l'émission consacrée à Scott Hicks et diffusée le 25 Février 2008. Le réalisateur y parle d'aspects plus privés de sa vie, moins connus, comme sa rencontre avec Kerry Haysen lorsqu'il avait 18 ans. Son épouse avait alors eu un passé assez difficile et étrangement à la lecture de l'interview il est difficile de ne pas faire certains parrallèles avec le contenu de ses films.
Hicks revient longuement sur son enfance, sur Shine,le succés de sa pub pour Hummer (qui est au musée d'art moderne de New Yorck!)... Sans doute l'une des interviews les plus instructives récemment, d'ailleurs située en dehors d'une période de promotion.
Here is an interview of Scott Hicks broadcasted on the show Talking Heads from ABC. It's one of the most instructive interview about some points of his life like the past of his wife keyy and his own childhood... Theres a lot of talks about "Shine" and even the famous Hummer commercial which is at the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New Yorck.

PETER THOMPSON: You've lived in various movie sets - Uganda, Kenya, England, Adelaide. What about the movies themselves - did you go as a kid?
SCOTT HICKS: No, I saw virtually no cinema as a child. East Africa, there was no television. There was very little cinema in Nairobi. I remember vividly the first movies I enjoyed. One was 'The Red Balloon', that enchanting French movie, which I saw at the drive-in one time in Nairobi. By the time I got to England, cinema had become almost an annual excursion the family made up to London to see the latest James Bond film. But it certainly wasn't something I went to with regularity until I started at Flinders University in Adelaide. We're up at Finders University to see the proposed drama facilities. I vividly remember my first lecture was on camera technique. It was memorable mostly because the instructor knew less than us.
My most memorable moment was right there on that stage, when for about 10 seconds I understood what it was to really be an actor. I've never forgotten it. I elected to study English and Drama. Unbeknownst to me, really there was this one topic called film-making. It was the demon seed. It obsessed me. It began, in fact, to take over my entire degree.
Ultimately, all of my honours year was spent making my own film. Probably the most crucial life-forming experience that happened for me was meeting my wife Kerry. She had come to Flinders as a mature-age student following the death of her first husband and she had this four-year-old boy called Scott.
KERRY HICKS: Scott was really great with him but I did come up just to hear these words - "You could come home and live with us." I thought "Gosh, this child!"
SCOTT HICKS: That worked!
