You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.

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

People were making fun of redheads before I came along.

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

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.

People are always nice; I never get anything mean said to me on the street.
