I like playing all sorts of ages and genders.

I think it just really excites me, the idea of delving so far into a character that people actually believe it's real, and I start to believe it's real. It's a strange thing to say, but it's the thrill of getting all the details right and being so absorbed in the character that people go along with the illusion.

Fans feel they know me, so they want me to be on-the-spot funny, and it's hard to fulfil their expectations.

When I wrote 'We Can Be Heroes,' I was just so excited about the concept of playing loads of characters, and a television series allows you to do that.

I feel like I'm so normal. So normal it's boring.

I get asked to do stupid things like panel shows and talk shows and things.

I feel really qualified to write about Australia.
