I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.

I guess my performance at school was doing school musicals, so I was a knight as well at the back of the stage in Camelot. It was all those kind of things. It wasn't the stuff that I wanted to do. The real funny character stuff came out when I was in control of it myself and writing it myself.

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've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.

I feel really qualified to write about Australia.

I find teenage girls endlessly funny.
