Comedy is great in that it's accessible to someone like me, from a low socioeconomic background, struggling in life. The gatekeepers are a lot stronger in other art forms.

I've always wanted to make Australian art interesting. To get a different audience watching art documentaries would be great.

Comedy is a man's art form. It pretty much came from a time, post-World War II really - the 1950s are not really known for the subtle expressions of feminine life.

This adoration of an artist as a lone genius is quite misled, I think, because they are very much part of their time and their community.

The only people I don't reach on a very personal level are straight white men. They don't really need another entertainer dedicated for them exclusively, so they're fine.

I don't want to be a didactic voice. I like to ask more questions than I answer, just to get people thinking and to make it safe to access art.

The art world doesn't exist in a vacuum.

I get anxiety and distressed from external stimuli quite easily, so if I'm in a constant state of self-protection, it's exhausting.

There are times I've been surprised by how emotional I can be on stage.

Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not homophobic.
