The Grass is Greener - Marc and Todd Hunter

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1991

New Zealand's a lot more subtle place in lots of ways...people are more subtle, the mentality's more subtle and people are a bit more introverted and interesting.
– Marc Hunter reflects on the character of his home country
The 70s in Sydney were quite fantastic, they really were. This was a wide open town in the 70s. And you just had fun: you could live for nothing and have a great time every single night and every single day.
– Dragon vocalist Marc Hunter remembers first arriving in Aussie life
We went to the States and screwed it up...magnificently.
– Bassist and vocalist Todd Hunter on Dragon's self-implosion
It's an unspoken thing, you don't analyse it, you don't agonise about it, we've accepted the fact that on any issue we're coming from opposite angles, always...but going in the same direction.
– Todd Hunter on his relationship with brother Marc
Dragon? They've been around for years, you can't complain...we're here for a great night and we expect it.
– A Parramatta punter gives his opinion on seeing Dragon live
...it got bigger and bigger and larger and larger and more out of control, and more money came in, and it just turned into a huge Fellini-like circus.
– Todd Hunter on the height of Dragon's fame
It just became a fact of life, rather than something that you used to be in...
– Todd Hunter on life after Dragon reformed
There's enough scope here for all sorts of musical things, but without having to live in crap circumstances like in LA or in London...just places where your life is a struggle.
– Todd Hunter on being a musician in Australia
We didn't go back to New Zealand to tour for a long time because we didn't actively cultivate the New Zealand market the way Split Enz did ... we're just sorta going 'We're a pop band. We're working over here. New Zealand couldn't feed us, we left.' Our loyalty really, pragmatically, was to the place that was supporting us.
– Vocalist Marc Hunter on the band's loyalty to Australia
