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

Eventually, I want to be a creative producer that isn't in things. The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now.

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

The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.

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

There are no real guidelines or maps in Australia as to how to write a show, whereas in Hollywood it's where the TV industry is created and there's a lot of work that goes into development.

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