Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
Chris LilleyWhen 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.

Chris LilleyI'm not really a management-type person. It doesn't suit my personality to be bossing people around.
Chris LilleyI started doing comedy just as myself, because I thought, "This is what's expected, you're meant to tell stories and do observations." And then I started to realize that I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I started to doing songs, and I had a little keyboard onstage and would bring in little props. Then I thought about the idea of talking about a character and becoming the character onstage. So, it sort of morphed into being stand-up that was more character based, and I found that's the stuff I got the better reaction from and was more exciting for me.
