I think after doing a few shows now, people are ready to put me down.

I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.

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

Once I got into high school, any time I had to do a talk or a speech, I just loved being up in front of an audience, it was always a character. And then I discovered that an impersonation of the teacher was a really, really good way to get a laugh, and it would also get you good marks, because the teachers were always bored and loved to be the "teacher-parody." So that became my little trick at school, and I became known for doing that.

I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.

To be honest, after all the crap that happened with 'Summer Heights High,' I was like, 'I'm not going to write anything controversial or edgy ever again; I just can't handle the blame.'

I think surprises make TV entertaining.
