My God - Ray Avery
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2011
Eventually, I rocked up in New Zealand and we walked into the airport and there was a guy in there with an air rifle shooting birds. I thought, ‘What sort of country is this?’ He was banging away at the birds. That’s pest control New Zealand style.– Sir Ray Avery
When I was growing up in the orphanages, I probably survived not because of any religious indoctrination — there wasn’t much of it — and ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful’ didn’t cut it for me. I had to dig deep to find the God in me.– Sir Ray Avery
