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'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."

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.

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

I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.

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

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.
