What has surprised me most about being a celebrity is the fascination with pregnant women. After I had Rocco, the paparazzi came and sought me out. I never had that before. There's a whole industry, literally, based on people having children. I guess because you're changing, putting on weight. It makes me very uncomfortable. I didn't enjoy that much at all.

The British are so funny. It's like they can't believe I lived in Hackney. 'You could live in Bondi Beach. Why would you want to live in 'Ackney?' But Hackney's fantastic. I'm serious. There are so many artists there. I loved the markets, the parks, the pubs, the diversity. It was a cultural melting-pot.

Comedy has to have momentum in order for it to keep moving along.

People would make fun of me and throw things at me and whatever teenagers do.

I'm in love with the city. You can impress an Australian with a city, but you can't impress them with a beach.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.
