I'm pretty lucky. I don't get too many haters.
-
I get asked to do stupid things like panel shows and talk shows and things.
-
I find actors a little bit too self-conscious.
-
When I wrote 'We Can Be Heroes,' I was just so excited about the concept of playing loads of characters, and a television series allows you to do that.
-
There are bits of me in all my characters.
-
I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.
-
You feel the pressure of going to university because you need a back-up plan, which is why I enrolled.
-
I think after doing a few shows now, people are ready to put me down.
-
I have a massive guilt thing about money.
-
Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
-
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 find teenage girls endlessly funny.
-
I'm so independent in writing stuff and controlling what I do. Sometimes I get calls from people asking to be in their movie, but I'm always writing or editing, and I can never get around to doing it. I'm so much more interested in my own stuff. I think I drive my agent crazy.
-
I went to a private boys' school, and we had girls in the last two years.
-
In Australia, I'm built up as this comedy hero, which was never my intention.
-
I've never been a 16-year-old girl.
-
British comedy fans go crazy.
-
It's barely OK for me to be dressed up as a black guy. But part of me kind of enjoys provoking people.
-
I like playing all sorts of ages and genders.
-
Mostly, what I watch are reality shows and documentaries.
-
People were making fun of redheads before I came along.
-
I think surprises make TV entertaining.
-
Fans feel they know me, so they want me to be on-the-spot funny, and it's hard to fulfil their expectations.
-
I'm interested in youth culture - when your parents are running your life, but you think you're the big man - but I'm not trying to make a statement.
