British comedy - which has been a big inspiration to me for many years - is very different to Australian comedy and different again to American comedy.

I've had some offers from furries - people that want to have sex with dudes in furry suits. I've had some interesting requests. There's some great fans.

I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."

I like drama as well. When I played Hamlet, I got one review that said, "This must surely be the funniest Hamlet in history," but schoolgirls would still cry when he died.

I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.

You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.

Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."
