I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy. ' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.
It takes me ages to write stuff.
When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I'd constantly be that guy who'd get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun.
Religious humor is not really my area, so I probably wouldn't do anything about that, or politics or something.
Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
I would love to play a British character one day. My accent wavers between Scottish and Irish very easily, though.
I'll probably be still playing a school girl when I'm 60.
I went to a private boys' school, and we had girls in the last two years.
I guess my performance at school was doing school musicals, so I was a knight as well at the back of the stage in Camelot. It was all those kind of things. It wasn't the stuff that I wanted to do. The real funny character stuff came out when I was in control of it myself and writing it myself.
I've done signings where elderly people will line up to get photos with me and ask me to sign things. They don't even pretend it's for their grandkids. They're like, 'No, it's for me. '
I'm not really a management-type person. It doesn't suit my personality to be bossing people around.
I'm not a big fan of 'Jersey Shore' and those kinds of shows where people are really playing up to the cameras.
You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.
I didn't do very well academically; I was always in the bottom class.
I think it just really excites me, the idea of delving so far into a character that people actually believe it's real, and I start to believe it's real. It's a strange thing to say, but it's the thrill of getting all the details right and being so absorbed in the character that people go along with the illusion.
I was terrible student. I was capable, but I never like being told what to do, so I was always in the bottom class at school. In Australia, a lot of students study to the end of year 10, but don't go on to the final year, and I was asked to leave the school because they just thought I wasn't performing well enough. I used to sneak off to play piano, and defy the rules of the school.
I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.
I never like to think of any character as being over. I'm always thinking of different ways of bringing them back.
In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.
People are always nice; I never get anything mean said to me on the street.
