In real life I'm very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.

The writing is just a boring job. It's just a horrible job.

I'm a real pawn-shopper.

I grew up in front of a TV.

I can only think of one wacky best friend who I thought was awesome: Rhys Ifans in 'Notting Hill.' He really nailed the wacky best friend.

I'm part Maori. My mum's Maori, and she raised me. And my grandma, she's Maori.

Well, I grew up in the '80s, which was a really massive time for sci-fi.
