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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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