People were making fun of redheads before I came along.

I've done signings where elderly people will line up to get photos with me and ask me to sign things. They don't even pretend it's for their grandkids. They're like, "No, it's for me."

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 was sure 'Summer Heights High' would be a cult ABC thing; I had no idea it would be such a big hit.

I have a massive guilt thing about money.

If you over-think, it affects things too much; I work instinctively, like painting in a way. Think too much, and you ruin everything.

I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.
