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.

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

I'm pretty lucky. I don't get too many haters.

People are always nice; I never get anything mean said to me on the street.

Playing girls is cool, but its a lot more fun playing boys.

You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

I feel really qualified to write about Australia.
