I often don't like seeing how different things are made. I'm not a big fan of behind the scenes stuff.

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

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 had a good theater career for years. I played Hamlet when I was 22, and I've played some really great roles.

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.

The last few years I've had to force myself to go out and be more involved the world because I can get a bit more cerebral and escape into characters and the world of characters. But now I guess I escape into stories about 'Wilfred.

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