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

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

I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.

You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.

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.
