I get inhabited by a character and then you mourn it. There's a period of mourning for me, definitely.

Just from my own experience, a lot of the comedians I used to work with were miserable in their actual lives. I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.

The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.

We live our lives by the water and if you don't know how to swim in Australia, it's like not knowing how to cross a road. It's an incredible survival thing that you really must learn when you're a child.

Without a doubt, rowing is the hardest thing you can attempt to learn in a short period of time.

I don't often watch broad comedies and think, "Oh well, I could have been a part of that." It's usually the opposite. I usually watch them, enjoy them, admire them, and think, "You know, I really have nothing to contribute to that".

I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.
