I never like to think of any character as being over. I'm always thinking of different ways of bringing them back.

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

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

I feel really qualified to write about Australia.

People think that I'm some kind of genius who's got these statements to say, and I'm not really.

I'm interested in youth culture - when your parents are running your life, but you think you're the big man - but I'm not trying to make a statement.

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.
