I was sort of trained in drama. I went to theater school. I started on the stage. Comedy is absolutely an essential part of what we do as actors. But I think in the grand scheme of things, comedy was born from tragedy. First there was tragedy and then there were the comedies.

It's nice having your work recognized but having people follow you around is kinda weird.

It is such a cut throat industry where you get knocked down so much and get rejected so much. If you do not back yourself up, no one else is going to so you really need to learn to get up, shake the sand off your chest and keep going.

I'm the son of an everyman. My father is a teacher. He teaches physics at a boys' school in Sydney.

I do not think I'm a great talent. I think I'm a medium talent, but I think I understand the business and enjoy the business.

I don't know what I'm really good at. I'm really good at sittin' by the pool. I have to work at that. I'm really bad at auditioning.

I write music just for me. I'm certainly not good enough to do it on any kind of a level but I enjoy that time because it's quiet.
