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.

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

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

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

The writer's room is a really interesting place to be.

The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.

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