A good painting is a lot like a good joke: you need to know when to stop, too many 'punchlines and you will have gone too far.

I cranked out a book. I didn't expect it to do much, but it's sold 80,000 copies.

Someone once told me... 'Anh believe in your dreams!' I always have and always will, and I think that if you follow your dreams in life, you really can live an amazing life.

I used to have to borrow textbooks from my mate in another class. When he was away I'd have no textbooks and the teacher would say, 'Anh, you have to go to detention.' I didn't want to tell her my mum didn't have the money.

My mum knows people in the village who died or were affected by Agent Orange who had kids who are disabled. I could have been an orphan. So many things could have gone wrong but here I am... I realise how lucky I am to be here.

At Easter the family got together and we were giving one of my uncles a hard time about watching scary films because on the boat leaving Vietnam, when we were attacked by pirates, he wet his pants.

I reckon I'm actually one of the least funny in my family.

When I paint at home with friends, I have a chat and it's just a good time.

That's what sort of fascinates me - what's funny as well as what's sad.

My father, he left the family when I was 13, so mum looked after us.
