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 sometimes people become quite emotional about the characters as well, and that's pretty cool that you can get that emotion out of people. And I think that's more my motivation than like, "Hey I want to be the funny guy, I want to be that famous funny guy." That doesn't sit as well with me as the idea of taking people on this ride and taking them into the illusion of the characters. That's much more exciting for me.

I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy.' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.

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.

In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.

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

I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.
