I wanted to be a dancer my whole life. And when I gave it up to act, I always had a really sad part of myself that missed it and missed performing and missed being physical in that way.

Since it's based on my parents, it's more emotionally close to me than some of my more surreal plays. And then I like the balance of the comic and the sad. It should play as funny, but you should care about the characters and feel sad for them.

I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV, because it's generally either twisted or sad.

I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing, but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.
