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."

So many young pets burn out in Hollywood, it's crazy.

It's great to write for actors when you know who they are. I think I prefer it.

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

I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.

I don't get that many scripts. Back in Australia, I've pretty much done my own shows and really no work outside of that. It's only now that I'm starting to read some Hollywood film scripts, and I've read some really great ones.

I do have a couple of pets, but I am determined to keep them out of the media spotlight.
