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

Dogs are more of a responsibility than kids - you can send a kid off to their grandparents or a nanny, but with a dog you can't do that.

You can maybe be artistic and really original and creative, but as long as it's got that funniness at the root of it, then certain people are going to love it just because they need a laugh.

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.

To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult. I always think that, as long as it's funny underneath, then you can argue that a teaspoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

There are no real guidelines or maps in Australia as to how to write a show, whereas in Hollywood it's where the TV industry is created and there's a lot of work that goes into development.

I often don't like seeing how different things are made. I'm not a big fan of behind the scenes stuff.

I'm sort lucky in that for me, I'm a writer now. I started as an actor but I'm a writer and so things like 'Wilfred' and shows like that are where I escape to.

It's great to write for actors when you know who they are. I think I prefer it.

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.

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.

Feeling of hatred unto your enemy, drains your energy as enemy wanted.

For lunch, we drove into the hills and parked in the dappled shade of a big sycamore, its powdery white bark like a woman's body against the uncanny blue sky.

If there are none [gods], All our toil is without meaning.

Men are cheaters. Women are not to be trusted. And most people are dumb.

Always warm up the audience with a joke....If you are not a particularly funny person, make sure that you inform them that it's a joke.

When it becomes a deep rooted revelation of what Jesus Christ did for you at Calvary, you will never walk away!

We are all aliens to ourselves, and if we have any sense of who we are, it is only because we live inside the eyes of others.

I literally hate working out.

I feel like the original 'Mad Max' created such a vivid world, that to go back and re-imagine it and kind of replay in that sandbox sounds like fun to me.

No fear... we are never sure of anything... fear never prevents [bad things] from happening.
