I grew up in Melbourne.

I just love the culture of Melbourne.

I do not like Melbourne in its present state.

Our very first gig in Melbourne was a confrontation.

Melbourne is my type of city, much more so than Sydney.

I love Melbourne and South Yarra's perfect for high tea.

Melbourne has great eateries and you can go birdwatching.

When I was 16 I had a table at home in Melbourne and I hardly ever practised.

Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.

It's absolutely essential that Melbourne, and Victoria, has a rail link to the airport.

Then we went across the line, and I was like 'Oh my god, we just won the Melbourne Cup.'

I came from the outer suburbs of Melbourne, so you do learn how to survive in that environment.

I'm Australian, so I love the stores near Crowne Plaza Melbourne, on the banks of the Yarra River.

I'm pleased to announce that my government will build the much-needed Melbourne airport rail link.

Sydney has taken my money, Melbourne has my respect, but Adelaide has taken my heart; I shall return.

I definitely love Australia. I've been to Sydney and Melbourne a couple of times, and I love those places.

While Melbourne and Sydney fight about who wears Australia's cultural crown, Canberra just gets on with it.

I'm an Australian - I grew up in Melbourne and Sydney - but as a kid you don't learn much about the Kimberley.

Chicago's like Melbourne - there's a city center, there's public transport, and there's more of a cultural scene.

I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.

I like the fact that Melbourne always seems to support their chefs and promote them in ways I find really admirable.

All through university years, I used to come up to Melbourne, go to Pizza Napoli with my friends and then to a movie.

Israel is not the safest place in the world for Jews. Melbourne in Australia is better. Teaneck, New Jersey, is safer.

When I went to the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne to study drama, I felt I'd finally found my place in life.

I would love to do well one last time in Melbourne and my dream would be to win Wimbledon and play in the London Olympics.

So far, my trip in Australia has been absolutely lovely - wonderful country, wonderful people... And then there's Melbourne.

At 17 I was graduating and didn't know what to do. I was seriously contemplating going to Melbourne to play Aussie football.

I really miss Melbourne food; Melbourne is very snobbish about their caffe culture, and I feel like I've become a snob, too.

I grew up close to Melbourne, about two hours outside, on Phillip Island. It's really small; it's kind of a little summer beach town.

My old songs used to take place in Gothenburg; then, when I lived in Melbourne, the songs just naturally took place more in Melbourne.

Almost everything I operated was in Melbourne and Perth, but in the end, I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving. Sydney is my home.

I've always been in love with Melbourne. When I was 12, I was taken into the city by my grandmother to go to the ballet for the first time.

I was good at football and cricket at school. My dad said, 'Son, be an architect,' and I came to Melbourne passionate about becoming an architect.

On New Year's Eve, 2000, my friends and I were going to a party in Melbourne and I decided to do it in drag. It was the happiest night of my life.

Melbourne is very sophisticated and edgy - we wear a lot of black. Things are lightening up a little bit, but truly, everything looks good in black.

I guess I've been fortunate in having an ongoing film career while being based in Melbourne. I'm happy to commute. A day on a plane. Come on. It's easy.

Melbourne is wonderfully altered since I last saw it. There are some very fair buildings in it now, and things are a little cheaper than they used to be.

You never know how it's going to work out. I thought I was ready for the next challenge when I left Melbourne, maybe I was a bit more mature and a bit older.

The AAC at Royal Melbourne was a wonderful memory for me. I had a slightly disappointing finish, but I gained a lot of experience by playing in the last group.

I remember a moment when the Prince went back to his old school, Grammar School in Melbourne, and slightly to his horror his old music teacher produced a cello.

You have a character who is wearing a scarf on her head on a billboard in LA, New York, Sydney and Melbourne. That's how I would face barriers being thrown at me.

I think Melbourne is by far and away the most interesting place in Australia, and I thought if I ever wrote a novel or crime novel of any kind, I had to set it here.

Ian Carroll grew up in Melbourne, went to Carey Grammar and then studied political science at Monash University during the turbulent years of anti-Vietnam rebellion.

I didn't see much besides Melbourne and a quick trip down to the Twelve Apostles, but all the Aussies I encountered were good-spirited and had a fine sense of humor.

At first I moved from Sydney to Melbourne, because most of the comedy was shot in Melbourne, and then from Melbourne to Los Angeles - and you have to sacrifice stuff.

I love cities. New York, Montreal, London, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Toronto, L.A... but, I do choose to live in Vancouver. It's home.

The good thing about India, and the good thing about Melbourne, is that it's very, very hard on this planet of ours to find two places that are almost diametrically opposed.

But it's been perfect - where you grew up is where you relax. It's been the most perfect thing to have the country lifestyle again after my fall and after the Melbourne Cup.

I love coming home to Melbourne. The first thing I do is have a coffee. It's just so much better here than anywhere else. It's better than in Italy and I travel a lot. I crave it.

Norm Smith personally came and signed me up to the Melbourne Football Club. The fact that I then played cricket for Melbourne Cricket Club - the footy club didn't like it that much.
