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

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

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

I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.

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

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 acting is more of a secondary thing for me now. I will be in it, if I'm the best man for the job, but it really is about creating characters and shows.
