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

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.

Dogs are more of a responsibility than kids - you can send a kid off to their grandparents or a nanny, but with a dog you can't do that.

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

I had a good theater career for years. I played Hamlet when I was 22, and I've played some really great roles.

To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult. I always think that, as long as it's funny underneath, then you can argue that a teaspoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

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.
