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

British comedy - which has been a big inspiration to me for many years - is very different to Australian comedy and different again to American comedy.

My dad was in the army so we moved around a lot and I changed schools every year and had to make new friends, and I found that if I was the funny guy I could do that easier.

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

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