You can't get any better than TV on HBO, ABC and BBC3.

I don't just want to upset people and shock people by saying something really outrageous.

I went to a private boys' school, and we had girls in the last two years.

Religious humor is not really my area, so I probably wouldn't do anything about that, or politics or something.

I feel like I'm so normal. So normal it's boring.

I'll probably be still playing a school girl when I'm 60.

If you over-think, it affects things too much; I work instinctively, like painting in a way. Think too much, and you ruin everything.

I get bored with the constant probing for the cliched tears of the clown, the dark side of the comic.

I was sure 'Summer Heights High' would be a cult ABC thing; I had no idea it would be such a big hit.

The main thing is that the 'C' is silent, so it kind of starts with a 'Z.' Z-O-O-K-RIE. It's Ukrainian, on my dad's side.

When famous people are nice to me, it feels good, so I'm happy to hang out with them. It's better than being at home, depressed, reading 'The Hobbit.'

I only wish I had more time for fund raising.

I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me.
