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

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

I'm sort lucky in that for me, I'm a writer now. I started as an actor but I'm a writer and so things like 'Wilfred' and shows like that are where I escape to.

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

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

I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."
