I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.

My dad was in the army so we moved around a lot and I changed schools every year and had to make new friends, and I found that if I was the funny guy I could do that easier.

I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.

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

Back in Australia, I did foster care for sick cats for years, and I was always most successful with the animals when I was given two - a brother and sister.

The writer's room is a really interesting place to be.

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.
