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.

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

Back in Australia, I did foster care for sick cats for years, and I was always most successful with the animals when I was given two - a brother and sister.

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.

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

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

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