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

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

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

I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.

I'm much more a writer than an actor. Although I have a great respect for that and I enjoy acting still, it really is about the world that I'm creating. That's where my future is.

To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult. I always think that, as long as it's funny underneath, then you can argue that a teaspoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
